Political cartoonists

must seize the moment before the
issue or controversy is gone from

public consciousness. “If I don’t
do it right away, the issue might
be done. So when I send you

guys a cartoon and I don’t see it
in the next issue, I’m really dis-

 

appointed.”

Wittenberg hasn’t given
up being published in other publi-
cations that might have a budget
for content. “I have high hopes of
getting in somewhere. I always
ask, ‘Do you know somebody
who knows somebody — in the
magazine business?’ I go through

waves of sending out-five or six
packets of information and sam-
ple cartoons, and then the wave
ebbs when I don’t hear anything
back or I get a rejection. From
Ms. I never hear anything back;
They just don’t respond.
“I would like to see

myself doing it more. I’m defi-

nitely a lesbian cartoonist, but I
sometimes feel badly for not
coming up with more cartoons
for our community,” Wittenberg
says.

“The reason for my
being a cartoonist now is all the
support and encouragement I
received in the early days from

CommonWoman. I credit
Common Woman and all of us for
making that space.” V
