Video: Cartoonists on using Twitter, Facebook
By Daryl Cagle | July 3rd, 2009 | PERMALINK
Here’s part two of my lunch interview with Jeff Parker of Florida Today, Mike Peters of Mother Goose & Grimm and the Dayton Daily News, Monte Wolverton, brilliant weekly editorial cartoonist and Mad Magazine alumni and the Ottawa Citizen’s Cam Cardow. We’re all here in Seattle at the annual Association of American Editorial Cartoonists convention talking shop about the future of editorial cartooning.
In this video, we speak about social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter aiding us as cartoonists. You’ll even see a glimpse of me peek in and speak about the night Michael Jackson died, and how I was able to shoot ideas by my Twitter followers (follow me on Twitter here), ending up with a cartoon that resulted from their suggestions.
Here’s the cartoon I ended up with (and note the thank you I added for all my twitter followers):
Check back for more videos from the convention.

I don’t know. “Collaborating” with unknown people for cartoon ideas seems like it could lead to huge problems in the future.

This is a wonderful peek into the creative process from those who bring such great pleasure and brain boost on a regular basis. Marvelous! Thanks so much for putting it up… and for putting up with the technology in such useful ways.
