Utah political figures talk about what it's like to be lampooned by Salt Lake Tribune editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley

One of the best things about working at The Salt Lake Tribune is that we’re in the same room with Pat Bagley, easily the most talented and sharpest editorial cartoonists in America.

Bagley celebrated 40 years with the paper recently — there’s an event happening Thursday, Nov. 14, though tickets have all been distributed — and to mark the occasion, I interviewed some of his past targets. I talked to several current and former (mostly former) officeholders about looking down the business end of Pat’s pen. (Many more declined to talk, or didn’t answer my calls and emails at all.) Their comments are in this article, in sltrib.com.
