Just saw this on CBC News last night ... very insighful and fun interview! Didn't realize Ian H. was relatively short either!

Great interview... on both sides. Ian did a great job and your responses felt very real. Ian seems to facilitate authenticity.

I will follow you for a bit. I would like to subscribe but will see... . Your cartoon today was topical... status quo thinking I felt. Sure , there may be a stark choice... but to suggest that one party represent oneside is a simplistic view of the echo chamber. Now, maybe that is the "job" of an editorial cartoonist... to represent the "state of thinking"... so forgive me if I missunderstand. Great interview!

Lovely interview. I've liked Ian for decades and sometimes feel that he's a little trapped in the current iteration of the mothership, but he projects a calm that certainly wasn't part of the RM version of CCC. I can only hope that we get a window into your painting endeavours when that happens...I get updates from Cindy Procious, partner to Clay Bennett whose work helped me through the Bush II. years, and who continues to be, along with you, a favourite in the cartoon realm.

Just had a moment to listen/watch this interview. What a great interview: two intelligent men talking about the state of editorial cartooning in this day and age. So glad I found you on Twitter—6 or 8 months ago. Your work is appealing to me—the cross-hatching is elegant—but the entire piece, sometimes with a scathing comment, other times not is always very clever. I wish you all the best and that your income picks up again to surpass your last gig.

Enjoyed the interview. I really like the 100 tRump cartoons.

I always thought it was "everyone and his sister". A sexist thing from the 50's.

I feel fortunate that I was able to watch two video interviews today with two rather awesome cartoonists! You and Dave Coverly and both insightful. Wonderful interview!

Michael - hope you read this note/fan letter. I really appreciate your being available to the CBC for interviews, especially the last on with Ian. H.

I just spent the better part of the afternoon going through your archive to unearth all of the 100 worst things of the Trump presidency. What can I say, such a brilliant archive! It's so chilling to see them all together. Boy I hope to see the end of that guy!

I've not be a subscriber long - maybe 6 months,, and so I'm wondering if your previous books sold well? Would it be a good idea to make a new collection? I would love to show my non-Substack friends your work and maybe even pin some drawings on my wall. (Please don't even think of a calendar! Maybe a small non-wall sized calendar would be ok. I could put it in my purse. xoxo)

Best regards Michael.- from Leslye in Montreal. :-)

I remember first looking at your toon of "Everybody" & "his monkey". All I could think of was The Beatles 'white album' & the song "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and My monkey".

When I read that it caused controversy, I realized how thin-skinned & ready to jump to conclusions, people have become. I certainly didn't read it as referring to an individual. I honestly thought the association of 'Everybody & his monkey' was hilarious in much the same way I thought the 2016 Republican 16 person presidential slate was cartooned as a giant 'clown car'. Cartooning can be satire at its best. Yours certainly are.

Loved the reveal cartoon of you & Ian Hanomansing. Soapbox indeed.
