The Future of Political Cartoonists

At least from the point of view of an editorial cartoonist from another hemisphere ....

New Zealand TV interviewer Paul Henry talks to NZ editorial cartoonist Tom Scott (here's a link to PDF bio page for him) in the below video upon the occasion of the Cartooning for Peace conference.

How would you react if an interviewer asked you," ... [Cartoons] seem -- if you don't mind me saying -- to be sort of quite hokey, in a way, and yet they are enduring, in a way, aren't they?"

Tom Scott holds his own and the only thing I disagreed with was the idea that cartoons are hokey. There are more cartoons and more readers of cartoons than any other time in history!

From TV New Zealand, here is the clip. It runs about 5 and a 1/2 minutes.
