Daily Cartoonist: Mobile, Alabama Editorial Cartoonist JD Crowe Scouts Oil Disaster From Helicopter

It's pretty much all in the headline, and I wanted to give Alan Gardner the credit because I didn't even know JD Crowe was blogging: the Press-Register cartoonist got a first-hand look at some of the encroaching oil and has posted a few of the photos he might use for reference. That's not really a story about comics, or much of a story at all, but I sure enjoyed looking at the photos.

There is a story here in a broader sense, which is how cartoonists are going to cover BP's disaster over the long-term. I think it's instructive that at Cagle's site, which is always a great place to take the temperature of editorial cartoonists because proprietor Darryl Cagle will group cartoons together for your perusal, there isn't one oil-related category but already there are three.
