Episode 198 - Sarah Booth

Sarah Booth joins us on the second half of the podcast this week.
Sarah is the daughter of the legendary New York cartoonist, George Booth. We start out talking about her and her career as a staff artist at the New York Times. Sarah also has many great memories of growing up in the Booth household. We learn who some of George's characters are based on and how he used real life events to help him create some of his memorable cartoons. We were very delighted to have Sarah on the podcast.
