Screen grabs
Early editorial cartoonists slipped in references to fables and Shakespeare and borrowed freely from history and art, but nowadays culling from culture is mostly about the tube and the multiplex. Rob Rogers loves nothing more, more, Moore than to B-rate bloated bankers. Mike Lester’s Roman-Catholic-Polanski piece allows no separation of church and state crimes. And Bruce Plante conjures classic Tinseltown, calling a tinhorn dictator a cowardly liar.
