Wednesday, we're talking about the art and the potency of editorial cartoons. Among our guests is Kevin "Kal" Kallaugher, who draws the world's major political figures for The Economist. He says when he sits down to create a piece, he's looking for the "weak spot" in a news story. It's that tension between what the public sees and what's really going on. He says his job isn't to make the audience laugh but to make them think. We'll talk with Kal and others about what makes a good cartoon and if it's possible to take it too far.
