TOON-OP
Joel Pett is the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at the Lexington Herald-Leader. His work is also published in USA Today.
Amid the wreckage of California’s finances, the state’s cartoonists are happy to throw in their two cents’ worth. Sacramento’s Rex Babin attacks the anti-tax types (cartoonists obviously don’t own much real estate), while San Diego’s Steve Breen heralds a less-than-banner year. And as USA Today’s Scott Stantis dryly demonstrates, the rest of the country is keeping tabs as endless arrears appear. Give these guys credit. Or at least IOUs. -- Joel Pett
