Rob Rogers is an award-winning freelance editorial cartoonist
living in Pittsburgh. His cartoons have been vexing and
entertaining readers since 1984 when he joined the Pittsburgh Press
as an intern. In 1993, he was hired by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Syndicated by Andrews McMeel Syndicate, (formerly Universal Press),
Rogers' work has also appeared in The New York Times, The
Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek and The Week, among many
others.
In 2009, Rogers celebrated 25 years as a Pittsburgh editorial
cartoonist with the release of his book, No Cartoon Left Behind-
The Best of Rob Rogers, published by Carnegie Mellon University
Press. In 2015, he released a local cartoon collection called,
Mayoral Ink- Cartooning Pittsburgh's Mayors.
In 2018, after 25 years on staff at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Rogers was fired for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump.
“Rob Rogers exemplifies (the) idea of an ‘American genius’
...” —Sanjit Sethi, Director, George Washington University’s
Corcoran School of the Arts and Design
“I have called (Rogers) the Venus flytrap of cartooning because his
cartoons are immediately entertaining and then, on further
inspection, reveal insight and power.” —Steve Brodner,
Illustrator, caricaturist, journalist and educator
“Rogers is opinionated, unrestrained and a wisenheimer of the top
chop. In short, he’s doing his job. He is the indispensable
irritant that keeps us scratching and thinking.” —Dennis
Roddy, Award-winning political consultant and former columnist
and reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“They got another one of us. A cartoonist. Rob Rogers. In Paris
they used bullets. In Pittsburgh they used bureaucrats. In
Paris they did it for the prophet. In Pittsburgh they did it
for the president.” —Andy Marlette, Editorial cartoonist for
the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal
