10. I think so, too.
I have copied and saved his cartoons for a long time...and I use them in a screen saver program. Have much enjoyed his work.

18. Thanks for adding that one! That's a real keeper!
These are awesome cartoons -- I've seen some of his work posted here at DU, but I don't think I had seen more than one or two of this batch!

16. K&R - Excellent cartoons
They really capture the TRUE state of affairs in America today.

I like the Nixon 'Tape' cartoon.

20. What does the one about "Executive Privilege" mean?
Are they all naked like the emperor's new clothes?
I don't really get that one.

22. I think it's a visual play
On a well-known Internet "shock" photo.

But to me it depicts a whole lot of people hiding behind a very flimsy conceit.

24. Without a doubt, John Sherrfius is one of my favorite political cartoonists.
Sherrifus is a master of getting the point across with almost no effort.

Along with Ann Telnaes. They're my two favorites. Wait...Tom Toles, too. And Tom Tomorrow...and I know I'm forgetting someone.

But, aye, let's hear it for John Sherrfius! :applause:
