Blood or No Blood?

by Daryl Cagle

Editors don’t like blood. Cartoonists love blood. Evil despots around the world, like Syria Bashar Assad, are often drawn in a sea of blood. When editors see blood, they move onto the next cartoon. More blood, less ink. So I did two versions of today’s Trump vs Michael Cohen cartoon. I’ll keep an eye out for which version editors choose –but I don’t expect any surprise.
