Phoning It In

Here's my insights into the week's news events. Hope no other cartoonists beat me to it.



I should add that this is historic. I don't think anyone in history has ever done a Quadruple Obit cartoon before.

I love when you make fun of lazy cartoonists while simultaneously showing them how it's done.

I use an old rotary phone, Kal. The only way to stay in touch with the world.

It's great but I thought you would have went more in the direction of exposing how the coverage of Micheal Jackson's death was overshadowing the situation in Iran...
