This past weekend the National Cartoonists Society Great Lakes Chapter gathered to vote on the newspaper illustration category.

All members take the voting process quite seriously. I can tell you that entries are thoroughly reviewed by chapter members. And in the past, we’ve had our share of discussions anbd debates over cartoon work. But, on the lighter side, there is the usual ribbing and joking during the process. After all, we’re cartoonists!

In the above video, veteran cartoonist (and resident curmudgeon) Roy Doty humorously gave his opinion on how the voting process should proceed.

Roy is a terrific cartoonist and and really wonderful guy. We all look forward to seeing him at chapter events.
