After the rolling brown outs of California, there were lots of proposals for helping people use less energy. It was brought up that in some communities, there are rules or even laws against hanging clothes on a clothesline. Trudeau's cartoon had a family committing an act of Civil Disobedience by hanging clothes on a clothesline and cops arresting them. Then the next day, their Priest was out by the clothesline finishing hanging up the wash and a helicopter flies by with the caption, "Step away from the clothesline!"
The other day, my husband brought the newspaper to me and I don't know who the political cartoonist was but it had big oil and someone else (I think it was a consumer). Big Oil spoke at each frame saying: "You want oil and gas, we've got that." "You want electric, we've got that." "You want wind and water, ah, er, that's not feasable."
So what cartoons have you thought were inspired or timely or right on the money? Do you follow the cartoons in the newspaper? Do you have an internet cartoonist that you watch or read? Do you write your own cartoons? Do you draw them, too?
