Bill Bates has been making cartoons based on Carmel for nearly 30 years and he has become an integral part of the community and culture. Indeed, in making his cartoons, he has preserved much of the town's history in his work. We found Bill Bates in his element, on the street creating a cartoon on busy Ocean Avenue. When you come to Carmel, see if you can find the spot! In part 1 he talks about his early years, his recent Pulitzer Prize nomination, and he shows us how he creates his cartoons.
