Current Editorial Cartoons

Mike Peters

Mike Peters is recognized as one of our nation's most prominent cartoon artists for his outstanding work as both a political and comic strip cartoonist. His favorite expression WHAT A HOOT certainly sums up his outlook on his life and work which are inexorably entwined. Mike's warm, easygoing and zany demeanor is evidence that his personality matches his creative talents. As so eloquently phrased by a colleague -- "Mike is the Peter Pan of the cartooning world; he's boyishly charming, good with a rapier and doesn't spend a lot of time on the ground. And he doesn't seem to want to grow up".

Tony Auth

Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Bad Reporter

From Ann Coulter to aspiring Hollywood starlets, to The Da Vinci Code, to President Bush, this comic puts its own spin on current events not limited to the world of politics. Bad reporters like Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass blurring the lines between fact and fiction, Bad Reporter promises to expose "the lies behind the truth, and the truth behind those lies that are behind that truth."

Chris Cassatt

Chris Cassatt quietly began his newspaper career in 1970 when he was hired to work in The Aspen Times pressroom as a "flyboy" stacking newspapers as they came off the press. He eventually worked in almost all production and editorial positions at the paper. He was chief photographer for a more than a decade. His photographs from that era can be seen in the book The Story of Aspen by former Aspen Times editor, Mary Eshbaugh Hayes. His name still appears on The Aspen Times masthead where it has been for nearly 40 years.
