Award-winning political cartoonist John Trever discussed his new book, The Art and Humor of John Trever, and his long career at the Albuquerque Journal with Lynn Moorer.

He also described his use of visual metaphors and several cartoon humor techniques. He shared as well his thoughts on the future of political cartooning.

The question arises; "May there be advantages in consistently holding the awareness that all is in transition - always?"
