They did not have to conform to an editor's peccadillo. The Mississippi cartoon could not have been smaller and been as effective. The Lovers need not have been larger. Trina Robbins has lobbied for more creativity in the cartoon arts. I think it's time we took a step back in order to move newspaper cartoons into the future.

Also, the Missouri State Historical Society here in Columbia has a political cartoon exhibit up right now, and the original of that "Missouri moves away from the South" cartoon is there. You know, if anyone happens to be in the area. He was great.

Although they're all great, the one with the children at the soldier's grave is amazing. Unfortunately, the "Sunday Dinner" cartoon will probably stick with me all day. It's among the saddest things I've ever seen. Wow. Although they're all great, the one with the children at the soldier's grave is amazing.
