Inside the mind of cartoonist John Cole

Scranton Times-Tribune cartoonist John Cole takes us inside the world of editorial cartoons - everything from how he got started to how locals react to his caricatures. John also tells us about some of his favorite people to draw, who's on his radar, and what to do if you don't like what you see.
