It's a sad day when a cartoon is doing more and cares more and pays more attention to the environment than our president.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is too much illustrating of the news these days. I look at many editorial cartoons and I don't know what the cartoonists are saying or how they feel about a certain issue.
No politician would ever comment on a cartoon unless it was to show what a great sense of humour they have, that they can laugh at themselves.
My cartoons haven't been about the politics of the day or about the personalities; I'm more interested in campaigning about the issues.
So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration.
It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
It's time we stopped ignoring the environment. Let's not let another election go by without making this a high priority.
We are losing our environment so rapidly.
So that was Reagan's political problem. As a rancher in California, he was an environmentalist himself. But the President of the United States doesn't control everything that happens in Washington.
I believe the American people care a lot about the environment.
With today's mass media obsession, it's good to be able to raise awareness about our environment.
