"It’s like, what would Herblock do? I'm 64 years old. People my age, we all knew Herb, we admired Herb. He had stuck it to the man since 1929. He'd been at the Post since 1947. He literally was the guy [taking on] Joseph McCarthy. And now we're in a new McCarthy era.”

If you're unfamiliar with Herbert Block ("Herblock"), he was one of the all-time great editorial cartoonists. He took over the op-ed cartoon at the Washington Post in 1946 and filled it until his death in 2001. It was a Herblock cartoon that coined the term "McCarthyism."

I first came to Washington in 1993, when Block was still vigorously cartooning. His eye never softened or slackened. It was vital.
