David Horsey: A year in cartoons
I was downright gleeful sitting inside a cavernous auditorium in Charleston, just days before the South Carolina presidential primary last January. In the middle of a vast, multi-screen, red-white-and-blue stage set, a CNN producer was warming up the big crowd of Republicans as if they were a "Tonight Show" studio audience. I was thinking to myself what a ridiculously wonderful scene this was, and what a weird way to pick a president.
It was a hundred moments such as that -- involving both Democrats and Republicans, along with a peculiar cast of eccentric candidates, shrieking pundits and militant billionaire PAC men -- that made 2012 a target-rich environment for political cartooning. Heck, I was not even cartooning; I was merely illustrating reality in all its surreal foolishness. -- David Horsey
