Click for Borgman's farewell. Since I was 2 Borg's been my editorial cartoonist. So I'm sad to see him go. Editorial cartooning has been taking hits left and right. Often it is the first position cut when a paper does cutbacks (Borg took early retirement as part budget cuts). If replaced at all syndicated cartoons are often used to replace a staff artist. While this give's papers a chance to save some cash and draw from a pool it also ensures there will be no local content. Even after winning his Pulitzer Borgman always drew on topics that were important to his home town readers first.

Bon voyage Jim. You'll be missed.
