Cartoonists
Funny Times regular cartoonist Keith Knight stirs it up a bit.
The cartoon features a canvasser asking a Pennsylvania woman who she intended to vote for. The woman asks her husband, who responds from inside the home, “We’re votin’ for the n—–!†The woman then tells the baffled canvasser, “We’re votin’ for the n—–.â€
It seems the RCJ is a bit confused by the cartoonist’s race. Keith IS black and married to a white woman.
Gary Trudeau calls the election.
While we are on the topic of cartoonists, there is one I absolutely loathe, Lisa Benson. Not only are her toons completely false (and not in an ironic way) she has been drawing Obama to look like a monkey, IMO, but you be the judge.
Badlands Blue links FolkArts editorial (?) toon
BB links FolkArts cartoon. Though I understand the premise of the toon, I don’t think there is that many swing voters in SD. You would think after taking off several months from copying other cartoonists the comeback toon would be good.
Maybe he should of had David Volk write it for him – The Mystery of Jason’s toons
Props to South Dakota Cartoonists!
This was in the dead tree version of the Argus Leader today, in the reader rant section:
Editorial Cartoonists have rare talent
I am overwhelmed with admiration for editorial cartoonists. They are not only talented artists but purveyors of the human condition in wit, wisdom and humor. They have hyperbole down to a fine science. With uncanny ability, they make serious, controversial, uncomfortable truths into a palatable quick read that may please or rile us, and that is good.
In the September/October issue of South Dakota Magazine, Roger Holtzman pays a wonderful tribute to these clever “Pen Masters” of communication who draw South Dakota.
