As we approach Veteran's Day, here's a cartoon from the archives.
It brings to mind the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower: "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
After 40 years as editorial cartoonist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he garnered more than his share of both awards and hate mail, Tony Auth decided that the time had come to broaden the range of his commentary. There is, after all, so much more to life than politics.
What he needed was a new venue. What he found was WHYY, and NewsWorks, where he is now its first Digital Artist in Residence.
Stay tuned.
