I have a great Chip Bok original hanging in my den from the years when I was covering the military for Knight-Ridder (remember them — they owned Chip’s paper?). Glad he will continue to draw!

If only editorial cartoonist were cute like pandas rather than being a bunch of wrinkly old men. Then maybe the public would get excited about saving them.

So how many professional editorial cartoonists are left?
There might as well be a little ticker somewhere on this blog counting down the number.
I’d say a lot more buyouts are going to follow but there aren’t many people left to axe.
