Ed Koren is now the State of Vermont's Cartoonist Laureate, an honor he has been awarded for the coming three years. That still leaves forty-nine states with no Cartoonist Laureate, an appalling oversight on their parts. It seems only right that the United States should also consider appointing a national Cartoonist Laureate. Given the spirit of camaraderie that reigns inside the Beltway, it should be easy to select a suitable candidate.
Back in 1992, Mr. Koren created an uplifting, color drawing on New Yorker stationery for political cartoonist Draper Hill (1935-2009), apparently as a get-well note. The drawing was sold by DuMouchelles of Detroit in the year of Hill's death, and now has been sold again by Royal Books of Baltimore.
