Cartoon: Shoot
Matt Davies

Cartoonists create art that sometimes offends. And readers freely respond, sometimes offensively with calls and letters. That’s a vital part of the sacred compact of sharing ideas and expression that fundamental to our civilization.
It has taken us far from the medieval world that some wish to return to.
Matt Davies is Newsday’s Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist.
