Come for a reading with cartoonist Rob Rogers, showcasing his newly published collection of political cartoons, Enemy of the People: A Cartoonist’s Journey.
After 25 years as the political cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rob Rogers was fired for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump. Enemy of the People chronicles Rogers’ unenviable journey: from a social media buzz, from an appearance on CNN to his final days at the paper, Rogers investigates the dangers currently posed to freedom of speech with honesty, daring and wit.
This collection features highlights of Rogers’ political cartoons over the last three years, his coverage of past presidents, a tutorial on creating editorial cartoons and two long-form comics. The book also includes brief essays contributed by notable cartoonists and journalists championing the First Amendment and lauding the craft of editorial cartooning.
