10. Political cartoons have always existed to skewer somebody or some thing.

Meanness is in their DNA. And the current mass hallucination that a president has been elected is particularly worthy of being savaged. (Something's been elected, but, not a president.) The cartoonists are dealing with the reality they see, and we cartoon fans are impressed by their artistic skill, their ability to make a point with a few strokes of their pens, and their puncturing of pomposity.

To complain to cartoonists about the mood their little sermons put us in is to blame them for a situation they're not responsible for. The cartoonists are calling them as they see them, and I'm glad to have their two cents.

Thanks very much for gathering toons for us all as often as you do.
