Mike Luckovich, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution?s editorial cartoonist and one of the top talents in the field, spoke to Huffington Post contributor and writer/director Diane Tucker for an interview posted Tuesday night. The focus? The challenge of caricaturing President-Elect Barack Obama.

Luckovich notes, ?As long as Obama does well, he'll maintain his current height in cartoons. But this brings up another problem. Obama moves in such a smooth way -- he's so physically comfortable with himself -- that it's difficult to lampoon the guy.?

He also laments that ?for cartoonists it's going to be tough not having Bush around. ... I don't draw Bush as a human being any more. He's become a cartoon character who also has a beak-like nose and circles for feet -- just two simple black circles. I draw Bush smaller and smaller as his incompetence grows larger and larger.?
