Archith Seshadri at Augusta Georgia TV station WJBF visits cartoonist Mike Luckovich in his studio for a 4 minute segment and an accompanying article.

“His goal is to take complicated issues and cut through the political rhetoric.

“‘I’m inspired to do cartoons on issues that are in the news that readers are familiar with,‘ Luckovich said. ‘And my goal is to cut through the lies and spin and show, using humor, what is actually going on.‘”

“For anyone hoping to follow in his footsteps, Luckovich believes editorial cartooning may require new approaches as the media landscape evolves.

“His advice? Consider animation as another way to communicate a message and reach an audience.”
