One thing that all cartoonists are very aware of is that the face of publishing has changed. Much of it has been a little scary for established old-media cartoonists, but one of the undoubted benefits of the new trends has been on-demand printing.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s still a need for hard copy (books for fireside, on train, lining impressive bookshelves, in tent up mountain etc), self-publishing sites provide the bridge between the mature and the new by converting digital files into comforting, heart-warming, cuddly books to be held and cherished.<\/p>\n

An example, I hear you ask? Oh, if you insist. You could, for example, check out a short cartoon booklet called Bush Combat<\/span> by UK cartoonist Andy Davey (see it here<\/a>). This was published, like fellow PCO cartoonist Ger Whyman\u2019s book<\/a> on the self-publishing site, Lulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book covers the pugilistic adventures of the boy George Dubya<\/a>, from early spats with the UN, through the horrors of Iraq, right up to his search for a legacy in the Middle East. The time seemed right; it is meant as a last post to his disastrous tenure in the White house. The editorial cartoons all have brief explanations for those with medium-term memory loss; they were mostly published in The Guardian, The Times and The Independent over the last six years. Some are previously unpublished. It\u2019s long on pictures and short on text, so even Dubya himself could order one and understand it \u2026 possibly.<\/p>\n
