Cartoonist Discusses P-I Closure

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist David Horsey speaks with the media outside the newsroom of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer today in Seattle. Hearst Corp., which owns the 146-year-old P-I, said Monday that it failed to find a buyer for the newspaper, which it put up for a 60-day sale in January after years of losing money and will print its final edition Tuesday.

    “We hung on by our fingernails for 60 days and still no buyer; it may be days before my fingers uncurl so I can draw my cartoons.”

    While I realize that Horsey is way left of me politically, he is by far the best caricaturist I’ve ever seen.
