This week is something a little special, since we convinced Calvin Grondahl, the dean of Utah editorial cartoonists, to sit still for a chat. Cal began his career at BYU, was hired by the Deseret News and later fled to the Standard-Examiner in the quest for some freedom to draw what he wanted. He's the author of many cartoon collections -- both Mormon humor and Utah humor -- including “Freeway to Perfection,” “Utah and All That Jazz," “Utah Sex and Travel Guide,” “Marketing Precedes the Miracle,” “Music and the Broken Word,” “Faith Promoting Rumors” and “Sunday’s Foyer.” Cal’s now retired, but he shares lots of stories about what it was like to be the cartoonist who broke ground for all those who followed.
