Today's Guest: Syndicated editorial cartoonist Daryl Cagle.
 

Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with syndicated editorial cartoonist Daryl Cagle by clicking on the video player above! 

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of real life Amuricans who think that deep down, you’re thinkin’ what they’re thinkin’… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

Don’t tell Daryl Cagle, but the real reason I wanted to see the internationally syndicated editorial cartoonist as a guest on Mr. Media was to match up his actual face with his caricature.

He couldn’t possibly look that harried, frustrated and aggravated all at the same time, could he?

Well...
DARYL CAGLE podcast excerpt: "There is a barometer of freedom for cartoonists. Can the cartoonist draw the president of his own country? You've never seen cartoonist in Cuba draw Fidel Castro. You can't draw the president of China from China. We have a cartoonist in Singapore who says, 'Daryl, I can draw whatever I want as long as it's not about Singapore.' In the Arab countries, the cartoonists want to speak truth to power and they push up against these barriers. They were never, for example, allowed to draw Mubarak in Egypt. Cartoonists get beaten up, they get their hands broken, they get thrown in jail. They're always pushing up against these limits."

It can’t be easy doing what guys like Cagle do for a living. Every day they sit down at their drawing table with the expectation of reacting to whatever is most provocative in the day’s breaking news. These men and women don’t know what they’ll be commenting on, referencing, or satirizing from one day to the next.

They only know the material comes from a never-ending fount of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.
