Back to the future for cartoonists?


James Gillray on the French Revolution

Aside from cartooning, Matt Buck keeps an excellent blog. He’s been asking what the future holds for political cartoonists, given the parlous state of the print media, and he invokes the spirit of James Gillray:

[A]re we going to see people like me directly employed by political factions again in the future? And if that happens, will it be a good or a bad thing? Is it a return to the roots of cartooning and other fun and nastiness, or a step away from the at least economically independent media industry which replaced it, possibly for good reason?
