Daryl Cagle, the daily editorial cartoonist for NBCNEWS.com, will conduct a workshop at the American Center on August 30 called Cartoons: How funny, how powerful.

The workshop will highlight how the editorial cartooning business works, censorship and press freedoms, where red lines are drawn, the state of the cartooning profession and journalism. “I will talk about how I draw my own cartoons. How I came to do what I do. Sometimes we’ll talk about issues because cartoons can be provocative,” says Cagle, who partnered with Slate in 2000.
