Metacaricature

Steve Kelley of The New Orleans Times-Picayune neatly sums up the fate of today’s cartoonists. And here’s how the unlucky Klaus Stuttmann sees it:

Man schaut viel genauer hin, ob irgend jemand den Sinn einer Zeichnung falsch auffassen könnte. Da bleibt dann weniger Raum für Subtiles, was wiederum den Nachteil hat, dass die Karikatur an Intelligenz verlieren könnte. (“You check more carefully if someone might misinterpret the point of a drawing. That leaves less room for the subtle, and that has the further disadvantage that the caricature could lose its edge” – my transl.)
