Interesting documentary on political cartoonist Herblock, who worked for the Washington Post. Would have been more interesting if they had more than one political cartoonist to show how much Block inspired them.

Very brief overview of the most renowned political cartoonist of all-time! A job that has pretty much gone the way of the dodo, and since been replaced by late night comics, particularly Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher. But a decent little history lesson.

A genuinely interesting look at one of the most notable political figures - who didn't have a job in politics. I love Herblock's art style and his way with metaphors, and I'm fascinated with political cartoons, so this was a nice change of pace. But I was a little frustrated that almost everyone they interviewed was a journalist instead of a fellow cartoonist.
