Swell and important doc on the masterful, and funny, editorial cartoonist tonight on HBO, watch for repeats. When I was editing Editor & Publisher we picked him in 2000 as one of the 25 most influential newspaper people of the century. The doc shows why. I'll run a few of his classics below. First, one featured in the film, pure genius at the time of Watergate (which, by the way, Herb nailed within days of the break-in). Below that, from decades back, on the gun lobby. And then nailing Joe McCarthy--four years before Edward R. Murrow did it.
