Looking at the big picture

This week, cartoonists mostly spouted off about layoffs, rip-offs and payoffs But we also dashed off a few big-picture pictures. Tony Auth aimed some richly deserved slings and arrows, lowering the boom on upper-crust combatants of middle-class warfare. Steve Breen earned his pay by somberly marking a war milestone. And I issued a condemnation on circumstances half a world away. Cartoonists love to pontificate.
