Take a peek over Jim Borgman's shoulder


Jim Borgman has been the Enquirer's editorial cartoonist since 1976. Borgman has won every major award in his field, including the 1991 Pulitzer Prize, the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year in 1993, and most recently, the Adamson Award in 2005 as International Cartoonist of the Year. His award-winning daily comic strip Zits, co-created with Jerry Scott, chronicles the life of 15-year-old Jeremy Duncan, his family and friends through the glories and challenges of the teenage years. Since debuting in July 1997, Zits has regularly finished #1 in reader comics polls across America and is syndicated in more than 1300 newspapers around the world.

Forum Steps Aside

The traditional weekly Forum section stepped aside today to let the Caregivers special report take its place on the presses. The Caregivers report sprung from an idea by Tony Lang for a Forum project and was carried forward by the News department. This morning I've already heard from a friend who intends to keep the section for future reference, so it seems like a worthy reason to have set aside our Forum plans for a week.

But it left me without a home for a Bengals playoff cartoon today, a party I would ordinarily have joined in. Instead we ran the cartoon I drew on Friday on Saturday's editorial page, not a standard day for my cartoons. (This was the cartoon I had to draw in the last hour of the day Friday -- my last posting on this blog -- and that day ended with the rush of pulling off a reasonably good cartoon with the clock ticking in my ears. When it works, there is no better feeling.)

By the way, the cartoon I pulled out of my archives to run on the Caregivers editorial page today is one that readers have asked me to copy for them over the last few years since it initially ran. It was inspired by watching my aunt and cousins take care of my uncle as Alzheimers dragged him down. The drawing was an example of departing from the headlines to draw about what might be the larger concerns in readers' lives.

JPROF.com boasts it's "the web site for teaching journalism."

However, the first sentence of it's lead story has an inaccuracy.

The story states: "Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jim Borg is giving us a fascinating peek inside the mind of the editorial cartoonist with his new weblog, BorgBlog."

Unfortunately, "Jim Borg" is not a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist.

I will keep the 1/10/06 Carson Palmer cartoon plus the editorial below. As the matriarch of a Bengal ticketholder through thick and thin, I will keep this as inspiration to me, my children, grandchildren. My husband was the number 1 loyal fan. Never down on them and never missed a game until his death 3 years ago. Life doesn't always hand you a winning game, but you can always hope for a better tomorrow as you deal with what might come your way. Thank you Cincinnati Bengals, Carson Palmer, and Jim Borgman.
