A useful resource for tracking U.S. (and Canadian) editorial cartooning is the Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year series, which has been edited by Charles Brooks since the early 1970s. Brooks is a past president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, and as an editor he often seems more attuned to center-right opinion than to liberal and left views. His annual volumes make it plain that progressives do not dominate the profession. Indifferent to the efforts of so-called alternative cartoonists, whose work appears in weekly urban newspapers and nowadays online, Brooks tends to stick with reliably mainstream figures whose work appears in daily newspapers that serve large and mid-sized cities. Some of his favorite cartoonists lean in a liberal direction, while others are conservative, but he plainly disfavors the work of cartoonists who regularly publish in the left-wing press such as Tom Tomorrow, Jen Sorensen, Keith Knight, Matt Wuerker, Ruben Bolling, Ward Sutton, Terry LaBan, and so on.
