Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Keefe, who just took a buyout at The Denver Post, tells Michael Cavna, “It looks like nothing but a down escalator for the classic full-time newspaper cartoonist. … The digital realm is wide open and offers plenty of opportunities. Unfortunately, most don’t come with a pay check.” Cavna lists all the former staff cartoonists at Colorado papers and asks, “As Colorado goes for cartoonists, does so go the nation?” || Earlier: Despite winning the Pulitzer this year, Keefe says, “nobody came clamoring around my drawing board trying to dissuade me” from taking the buyout.
