Caveman Drawing. What a cartoonist draws is inevitably colored by what he feels, and the feelings of many a cartoonist are even plainer to detect than those of their like-minded colleagues at typewriters in the newsroom. The Washington Post's Herblock draws Goldwater with a snarling lip, but says: "I think he's so bad all you have to do is to picture him as he is." Paul Conrad of the Los Angeles Times also claims, "I don't put in any more than I see." What he sees is a jutting jaw and a vacant...
East Potomac is a neighborhood golf course that Washington Post Cartoonist Herblock, 54, likes to waffle around on.

Just to balance Lippmann and Herblock, the Post also Roscoe Drummond, a garrulous fellow somewhere to the right of the late Sen. Henry Dworshak...
...Eleanor Roosevelt's seventieth birthday, eight years ago, the Washington Post published a congratulatory cartoon. In the Herblock drawing, a mother is pointing out the Statue of Liberty to her very small son. "Sure, I know who that is, mom," says the son. "That's Mrs. Roosevelt...
