Punch lines and jabs
Huge, boffo front-page news everywhere, and I don’t mean Conan taking over for Jay. An American industrial icon crashed and burned, and Matt Davies checked under the hood of the belly-up beast. Wrenching. A historic Latino appointment was appraised, and Dan Wasserman, reacting to the reactionaries, pondered what bigotry begat. The president delivered a much-anticipated address in the cradle of the clash of civilizations, and I penned a somewhat long-winded response -- for a cartoon anyway. I guess brevity isn’t my middle name after all. Skepticism, maybe.
