Matt's a-moving on
Matt Wuerker, whose front-page drawings have anchored the Lowdown for 10 years, is moving on. He's a jewel of a cartoonist and a joy to work with, and that might be why so many media want him to work for them. You can see his colorful Wuerking Drawings at politico.com. We'll be working with several new artists with a sharp political eye--and if you Lowdowners out there have a favorite or two, let us know!
Some of our readers got the point of an issue from Matt's 'toon and felt it unnecessary to turn the page! That's great cartooning.
