Brandon Zachary, Comic Book Resources; Artist Fired For Trump Cartoons to Release Book Enemy of the People
[Kip Currier: With his singular artistic style and rapier insights, Rob Rogers is truly one of America's great political cartoonists and satirists.
Rogers was treated abysmally by the owners and management of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and was fired from the paper this year; see this Nov. 4 article in The Washington Post for more background.
It's good to see that his newest compilation Enemy of the People: A Cartoonists Journey will be available for purchase soon.]
"The Pulitzer Prize winner was a 25-year veteran of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette before being unceremoniously fired earlier this year,
purportedly because his cartoons were regularly critical of President
Trump and his policies.
Titled Enemy of the People: A Cartoonists Journey, the 184-page collection will be released Dec. 11 through the publisher's IDW Limited imprint...
“Satire is the ultimate expression of free speech," Rogers said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
"[It] reminds us that we live in a healthy democracy. But we are living
in a time like no other in our country’s history, a time when the media
is under attack, a time of extreme partisanship. We need satire and
editorial cartoons more now than ever.”"
