Where's Pete Dunlap-Shohl now?

Fans of former ADN cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl should know that he's being as irreverent and creative as ever from his perch in cyberspace. He's got current political cartoons and some cool animations on his blog.

I particularly liked his one about Alaska's reaction to the election results.

Pete's motto is:

"It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. I say, Why not do both?"

Well, it's definitely darker here at ADN without Pete around.

By any normal person's standards, his creative drive is amazing -- but especially so considering he's dealing with Parkinson's disease. (Check out his blog about that.)

His ever-appreciative, now-former editor,
Matt Zencey
