It was posted by the Herblock Foundation. Perhaps it needed editing? I would expect that Trudeau was asked for the rights to air the talk, as all previous Herblock Award Lecture presenters are on YouTube. (Including Barack Obama in 2005!) I expect it will return. Odd!

He's what an editorial cartoonist should be. I am impressed with Matt Bors’ bravery, humor, and overall talent. He’s what an editorial cartoonist should be.

Neat little touches like that are the mark of a great cartoonist. I like how in the cartoon, St. Peter’s speech baloon tail is going through the center of his halo.

Walt Kelly never got one, which, to me, is far more egregious than somebody having the wrong political views.

In addition to the great cartoonists mentioned in this piece, the City is home to graphic novelists Joe Sacco of "Palestine" & "Footnotes from Gaza" fame; Craig Thompson artist/author of "Habibi;" and of course, Linda Medley of  "Castle Waiting" fame.  Must be the Voodoo Doughnuts.

Now I see he's an apparently conservative cartoonist. Nice bit of viral advertising you did there.  I don’t keep up with either Pulitzer awards or political cartoons, so I had no idea who Michael Ramirez was until you mentioned him.
