Two Prominent Cartoons In My Inbox/On My Facebook Feed

imageHere are a couple of cartoons I noticed were being discussed by people I don't necessarily think of as comics people, for whatever that's worth.

* Jen Sorensen's cartoon about torture is the one I'm seeing touted as the slam-dunk, done-in-one response. That's not everything political cartoons do, but it's one of the more effective roles they play. The scary thing is I think unlike a generation ago, a lot of folks will confess to being perfectly happy with two standards.

* Kate Beaton has the Google Doodle today, which I guess is its own feature now, and tied into regional representations of the site -- I'm sure everyone knew that but me. Hers is on Henrietta Edwards. (The art pictured is an alternative design.)
