So Did Anyone See A Good DNC-Related Cartoon?

So I went looking at cartoons related to the recently completely national convention run by the party with the donkey mascot and I couldn't really find any. I thought that was pretty interesting. Did anyone see one they liked? I'll run a link to it here with your endorsement. Mostly I just want to see one. It doesn't have to be the greatest cartoon of all time, but I was thinking maybe something that wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in the same continuity of efforts as a standard Daily Show segment.

I think the conventional wisdom about editorial cartoons is that the editorial culture that spawns them is too bland and afraid of offending anyone and that there is no good work as a result. I'm not sure I believe this. I think it's entirely possible to write cartoons for a broad, mainstream audience that are at least clever and funny, and I've yet to see one that's impressed me that way on this subject. I also think there's no shortage of cartoons unafraid to offend, like this Gary McCoy cartoon, but I have to say that simply strikes me as a boring, badly executed cartoon -- like the cartoon equivalent of what some random, not very educated, out-of-touch dad would say at the dinner table. To put it a completely different way, I think it's odd that we may be in a place where we'd get way better cartoons from artists buying the best jokes made on Twitter by people not being paid to create such things.

Update

Jim Wheelock wrote in to suggest the Walt Handelsman cartoon for Newsday, qualifying the choice as a not-great cartoon that made him laugh. I think that's a pretty good description; it's at least told in a way to elicit a laugh. It's kind of like those old Carson routines where he would milk something out of not-much-of-anything. That's pretty thin gruel if that's the best one CR readers know of, but I'm happy for one that made any of you laugh.
