The Daily Cartoonist Celebrates 20th Year
Skip to comments
Twenty years ago, I sat down and hammered out a quick blog post that became the start of what is now The Daily Cartoonist. The blog began as an excuse to keep tabs on comic syndication and editorial cartooning—the two genres I was most passionate about. I could never have imagined that, 20 years later, this publication would have an international audience and still be growing.
We’ll be celebrating our 20th anniversary throughout the month. I’ll be publishing a number of retrospective articles that go behind the scenes of some of the biggest turning points and stories I covered.
Over the past two years, I’ve spent considerable time contemplating the future of this news site. Some things are clearer than others, but I can promise that any changes in the coming months and years will honor our tagline: providing “daily news and opinion for professional cartoonists.”
For longtime readers, I cannot express enough gratitude for your support—by visiting, commenting, contacting, and welcoming us into your communities and associations. I also want to recognize my two partners, D.D. Degg and Mike Peterson, who joined in 2018. Their contributions to what The Daily Cartoonist is today cannot be overstated.
My next article will be a look at the stats of this site. A few stats that surprised me include:
- The article that generated the most comments
- Who has commented the most in the last 20 years
- Who were the most active commentators each year
Let us know in the comments your prediction on any of the questions above.
And finally, in my retrospective mood, I had to dig into the archives to see how the site transformed over the years.
