Obama’s First 100 days: did the Devil make him do it?

"I can

Any excuse for a cartoon. I drew this cartoon about a week before Obama’s first 100 days were up, because I got the date wrong. And I used the name of my favorite TV show, Reaper in it,  just because I can. Ah, Reaper, the rare comedy-drama that works both ways, and is totally, always [...]

The Pope speaks with an Alien tongue.

Doonesbury predicted an Obama victory. Quel surprise.

We did it-Doonesbury

It was a week ago that all the papers threw up their hands in mutual pretended concern that Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury did his Nov 5 strip early, predicting Barak Obama for the win.
