Two closely related cartoons offer a glimpse into Jeff Danziger’s creative process. His initial pencil drawing shows a Chinese family joining other protectively masked bicyclers traveling to work against a backdrop of polluting smokestacks. Using a photocopy of the penciled image as a base, Danziger adds fine lines in ink and opaque white as well as a partly obscured sun, all of which heighten the impression of atmospheric pollution in his finished cartoon. China’s dependence on pollution-causing coal to fuel much of its economy drew major media coverage in 2006 and continues to be hotly debated.
