More Cartoons On The Campaign Trail

* Nevada City resident Monte Schulz wonders if it's arrogance or ignorance that led national backers of John Doolittle to use Peanuts imagery in an attack ad aimed at Doolittle opponent Charlie Brown. In general, this has been a really bad campaign season for strong attacks on local candidates from national sources, which allows the candidates some wriggle room to deplore the ad while still benefiting from its strong message.

* The Guardian profiles La Face Karchee De Sarkozy a 150-page satirical rip into the life and times of interior minister and presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy, which if the article's right is really rare for that political landscape.

* Sometimes cartoon art can be used to confuse the crap out of people. Or maybe just me.

* In New Mexico, a candidate behind a cartoon accused of being racist a couple of weeks back has made her own dissatisfaction with a cartoon she says is sexist part of her campaign. A cartoon from last June. But it's not a rhetorical ploy or anything.

* Did the Danish Cartoons Controversy open the door to political expediency through portraying Muslim leaders as unsophisticated and immoral? One article thinks it over.
