Convention fodder
Editorial cartoonists¡¦ take on the Democrats¡¦ and Republican¡¦s big parties.
Inside dope about convention cartoons: Most are dopey! No real news happens! Everything is painstakingly stage-managed and scrupulously scripted, so pack journalism rules. One exasperating example: We devised dozens of cartoons of the peeved-off, power-mad Clintons show-stealing, but in the end they were, in fact, gracious and show-stopping. Still, Bob Gorrell's Photoshopped photo captured the milestone in black and white; Nate Beeler artistically cleaned Joe Biden's clock; and Tom Toles looked ahead to an explosive GOP affair in Minnesota. Doesn't John McCain have two houses there?ƒr — Joel Pett
