By: E&P Staff Litpark.com, a blog that describes itself as "a literary playground for writers and artists," has posted a lengthy interview with Jimmy Margulies, nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist for The Record in Bergen County, N.J.
Margulies talks about the creative process, his political views, and even offers a ?How I Draw a Cartoon? strip that provides some satirical insight into his work day.
?It would be pretty obvious that my core beliefs are definitely on the liberal side of the spectrum,? Margulies tells the site. ?Some of the things I feel most strongly about are fighting prejudice or bigotry of any kind, and being in opposition to the proliferation of guns in our society.
?While I do use my forum to express my views on these and lots of other issues, I definitely resist being rigidly predictable or being categorized as an ideologue. There is definitely an entertainment component to what I do, so I like to be able to offer variety. Some days, a hard hitting cartoon, other days something lighter or on a less serious topic.?

Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Margulies? work appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, Time, Time.com, Newsweek, Business Week, and many others. His cartoons on New Jersey issues are self-syndicated to newspapers and Web sites throughout the Garden State.
