Mikhaela in the news: "Political cartoonists sing hail to the chief"

My cartoon "Bush vs. My Cat" (above) is currently featured in the exhibit "Bush Leaguers: Cartoonists Take On the White House" (at American University's Katzen Museum in DC, on view through July 29). I've even been mentioned in an article about the piece in the Examiner:

Through “Bush vs. My Cat,” freelancer Mikhaela Reid envisions a battle of wits. One of several women selected for the show, this hot hand is among the growing number of female cartoonists.
Full article here (warning: link is to a PDF).

I was also included in a story in Editor and Publisher about the AAEC convention panel on cartoonists and blogging. I was actually in the audience, but panelist Tom Tomorrow kindly suggested I might have two cents to put in:

Mikhaela Reid, speaking from the audience, said cartoonists such as herself who aren't daily newspaper staffers often want to do a blog because it helps build readership. She added that freelance or self-syndicated creators may not do as many editorial cartoons each week as staff creators do, so a blog can be "a valuable place to vent" when not drawing a cartoon that day.
Which I did.

Just read the article on Reid in the Examiner today and then here. I see why she might be tired of writing about Bush without getting read at the White House. It's in the message, and there is at least one way to make heads turn this way. Try hitting below the bible belt: "Bush thinks he's so bright he's the burning bush." I could see the whole country lit-up. Go ahead, use this one if you will please.

...and there's already a sad news in the editorial cartooning community.

Doug Marlette, of "Tulsa World" newspaper, was killed in a car accident.

Yes, I heard. Marlette was only 57, what a shock.
