Some people dream of being on the cover of the Rolling Stone. There was even a great 70’s song about it. In the cartooning world one of the most exciting things is having your work featured on the cover of the National Cartoonist’s Society magazine “The Cartoonist” and I am honored to be this month’s cover girl!
When Frank Pauer, “The Cartoonist”’s editor, contacted me…I joked that they must have run out of big names. He was so gracious and professional when he interviewed me that he was able to take all my babbling about my career etc and turn it into a fantastic retrospective of my life in cartooning. Plus the article is laid out very beautifully and my cartoons look very vibrant in color on the glossy paper. I am thrilled to be a part of this issue. I wish you all could see it. I am not sure about copyright restrictions reproducing it, but I’ll post a couple of samples so you can see what an amazing job Frank did:

Thanks so much, Margaret. It was like winning the lottery, getting the magazine in the mail and seeing the cover! As for deserving…we are all deserving and maybe one day the Chix will get a cover story as well!
