I’m saddened to write that one of the great editorial cartoonists has decided to retire. Mike Lane, who drew for the Baltimore Sun for decades and was one of the very first cartoonists to form our little syndicate, is calling it quits.
Mike stopped drawing early last month when he was slated for open heart surgery, [...]

It wasn’t long ago that I was writing about Bill Schorr retiring from editorial cartooning.  I’m pleased to announce that Bill is coming back and will be drawing political cartoons that we will syndicate here at Cagle Cartoons, Inc. Bill worked as a staff cartoonist for the New York Daily News, The Kansas City Star and The Los [...]

The Huffington Post, which famously pays nothing to its writers, has a ridiculous piece by Jason Notte about “Ten Features That Are Dying with your Newspaper;” included on the list are editorial cartoons and one comic, The Family Circus. Notte writes:

We have just added a toolbar of functions under each cartoon throughout our vast Cagle.MSNBC.com site.  These are standard functions that readers are used to seeing on other cartoon sites, links for the cartoonist’s RSS feed, share the link on social media sites, add to favorites, print, email the cartoon – regular stuff that people [...]

There’s cartoons I drew for Hawaii’s Midweek, the Honolulu Advertiser, Slate.com and MSNBC.com in there.  I’ve moved around a lot [...]

Sometimes the cartoonists cross the line and we catch hell from editors. I saw it coming with this Eric Allie cartoon, and I asked my Twitter followers what they thought; see their comments below. E-mail your rage directly to Eric. I asked Eric to correct the spelling of “Forth” and I still haven’t decided whether [...]

I’m sorry to write that two of my favorite political cartoonists have retired from our tiny profession.
Sandy Huffaker is one my cartoon heroes. When I was in college I was a big fan of his cartoons that were running every week in Time Magazine. Sandy worked as a regular editorial cartoonist for a newspaper when [...]

We get the same questions in the email box every day and I thought I would take some time out to respond to some of the most frequent ones.
