With mixed emotions I announce: John and I will no longer be producing editorial cartoons. John will continue posting his work at his blog, John Cox Art, and he and I will continue working together on various projects, but there will be no more regularly scheduled editorial cartoons. The Web site will remain running indefinitely, as a means to market our books and as an archive of our work.
Oh noz!!!!
But lately, for reasons I won’t go into here, I can no longer afford to divert so much time and attention away from my publishing business and other personal concerns, such as my family.
I also want to stop focusing so much of my creative energy on negative aspects of daily life. There’s still an ideological battle to be fought, not to mention an actual war, and I will stay engaged in some form and medium. But at this point, anything seems more appealing than immersing myself in the sewer of daily politics.
They explain their decision to hang up the tools of their trade in their Final Bow post. I hate to see them go. They are without doubt among the best editorial cartoonist out there. Their work cut through all the spin and went right to the core of the issues we are facing today in the war of ideologies.
Their work will go on in other venues - you can find out where and when by going to the Final Bow post. Please do! Meanwhile, they will be badly missed!!
John Cox is hanging in on his own. Check out his blog at John Cox Art.
