Watch two cartoonists draw their versions of the Trump inauguration
McClatchy editorial cartoonists Lee Judge of The Kansas City Star and Glenn McCoy of the Belleville News-Democrat had fun with Barack Obama for eight years, so they are eager to get going with Donald Trump and his administration.
The pair will occasionally pick a topic or seek a topic from readers, and then both will tackle the same issue with their distinctive pens and brains. We’ll share videos of the two making their cartoons and then show the end result from both.
Topic No. 1: the Trump inauguration.
