The bottom line is we, like all cartoonists, love to draw and any opportunity to do so is a great thing :) When Daryl approached me about doing the Best Political Cartoons of the Year book four years ago we both though this was a great opportunity to do some original art specifically for the book instead of just slapping something on the cover.

Since most cartoonists happen to be liberal leaning, our cartoon selection is liberal leaning overall, as compared with the conservative Brooks book.

If you look at the series over the course of the years it has been published that political slant is pretty apparent. That is not to say that the cartoons chosen are not good, but ideology does seem to be the primary factor.

They really are two different things. BECOTY puts an actual published editorial cartoon on the front, while Cagle's volume has a political illustration specifically for the book.

When I wrote the post, I did so on a vague memory of a comment you made on your blog <a href="http://cagle.com/news/blog/SepOct2006.asp">regarding your ego</a> and the selection process for your best of collection. I have now gone back and found that original blog post refered to <em>cartoon</em> selection and not cover selection. Please accept my apologies. Daryl – you’re right, the comment was off base.

We do not select an editorial cartoon to "honor" on the cover as BECY does. I do an original illustration for the cover of our book, and Brian Fairrington does an original, commissioned illustration for the back cover, both of which are arrived at through a matter of negotiation with the publisher. Creating our cover illustrations is done by the same process as most book covers, months in advance of publication, and the creative decisions on the covers are marketing decisions.
