I don't think they're going for subtlety very often.

I know it's important for editorial views to be explicit, but it's hard to find an editorial cartoon that couldn't benefit from a little more subtlety.

I wish there were better collections to be easily found of Oliphant, Lukovich, and some of the other more modern greats. Really nice to see editorial cartooning get some love on here.
