Editorial Cartoonist Kevin Necessary

Political and editorial cartoons have long been a staple of American life, think Benjamin Franklin's "Join or Die" illustration of a severed snake representing the colonies. And, more recently, many Cincinnatians remember the great work of editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman in The Cincinnati Enquirer. Today illustrator Kevin Necessary is continuing the tradition of thoughtful and thought-provoking editorial cartooning online, at WCPO.com. He joins us to discuss his work, what inspires him to draw, and some of the local and national reactions his editorial cartoons have generated.
