Go, Read: Some Comics Stuff Related To Hurricane Sandy

Daryl Cagle is rounding up editorial cartoons here and has a gallery of Jeff Parker cartoons from past hurricanes here. It's sort of an interesting quandary for editorial cartoonists. It's what everyone is talking about, and there's no real way to irritate half of your readers because weather is usually non-political. On the other hand, you risk being amusing or humorous about something that ends up being a massive national tragedy.

I was trying to think of which cartoonists were in the hurricane's path, but the one I checked, Drew Sheneman, hasn't switched over to hurricane commentary of any kind yet.

I would imagine that twitter is the place to follow a wide-ranging array of comics people's reaction to being caught in the storm, as best as they're able to update. There will probably be a lot of jokes made, and eating, and occasional distressing-to-bad news. I hope everyone stays safe and dry, in that order.
