David Cohen feels honored to serve the citizens of Asheville, North Carolina as the editorial cartoonist for local issues. Today he took a few inches to thank them for their forbearance.
In the early 80s I submitted some work to the then editorial page editor, Rick Gunter. He took a few, and for about a month I was the paper’s cartoonist!
Obviously, that didn’t last very long.
It wasn’t until 2006 that I tried again. I submitted some more work to the editorial board, which included Jim Buchanan, Jeffery Green, and Susan Yehne. They decided, after a brief negotiation, to give it a try.
