‘Year everybody wants to forget’ chronicled in new book by Solon cartoonist Ed Wittenberg, cleveland.com
SOLON, Ohio – Early this year, Ron Hill decided he wanted to do something different with the editorial cartoons that he submits to four Northeast Ohio newspapers.
The cartoonist and illustrator ended up drawing BB BluesBird – a character he created 16 years ago – in every single cartoon in 2020.
But little did he know when the year started that the coronavirus pandemic would become a prevailing theme in his cartoons – and that BB would be wearing a face mask in most of them.
Hill, of Solon, has compiled every cartoon he had published this year into a new book.
