Joel Pett is the Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist of the Lexington Herald-Leader. His work also appears in USA Today.

For the doodling classes, nothing fills a day like a sex scandal. To misquote Kurt Vonnegut, God bless you, Eliot Spitzer!

Stories about “Client 9” and his high-priced help (the ladies, not the lawyers) were a Page One staple, and cartoonists couldn’t resist. Signe Wilkinson sympathized with the shamed, stoic spouse. Dan Wasserman let his ethical fantasies run wild. But Mike Lester’s punch-line-drawing provided the keenest perspective. We of the media whored, I mean horde, do love when the mighty fall. On their swords or whatever!
