We find Mr. Fish, who once had success creating compelling, outrageous editorial cartoons, as his profession is dying out. Editors who previously backed his controversial work are disappearing as fast as the newspapers which once employed him. Can an outspoken artist raise a family and maintain his unique defiant voice? This intimate documentary follows the artist as he struggles to stay true to his creativity in a world where biting satiric humor has an ever-diminishing commercial value. CARTOONING FROM THE DEEP END examines the compromises a radical artist makes (or refuses to make).
