Reaction to yesterday’s cartoon amused me. Will Longwitz called my editor to complain. His followers blasted me on Facebook and Twitter. It was a day every cartoonist enjoys. My job isn’t to make people happy. It’s to make people think. To talk. Would I draw the cartoon again? Yes. The “Thad” campaign mailer existed and was confusing. It wasn’t a state crime. It wasn’t the end of the world. In fact, I found the reaction to it and to the cartoon far more interesting. I can tell a lot about a candidate by how they react to a cartoon they feel is “unfair.”
So here’s part two. I had this drawn as all the complaining came in. Made it much more fun for me knowing this was going to run today.
I love my job. All 1/2 time of it.
