  1. Kudos to John Cox for this "quiptoon" and to the proprietor of this delightful blog for posting it.

  2. Thank you for the kind words! John is indeed formidably talented as an artist in a number of different media. John is IMHO one of the premier political cartoonists of our time.

    Not to take anything away from John and his excellent art, I would like to take this occasion to point out one small detail in the above 'toon. If you'll notice, there are initials under John's signature: "MB". These are the 'toons that John and I collaborate on.

    Long time readers of the blog will recognize that those are my real life, reallio trulio initials, because I am...Marlon Brando! And yes, reports of my demise etc. etc.

    Working together with John is a slightly different creative process than I am used to, but I believe that so far we have emerged relatively unscathed. (And produced some damn fine political cartoons!)

    I am proud to have John here contributing to the blog with his stand alone efforts (and an occasional banner), and prouder still of the work we cobble together together. (But, I repeat myself!)

    Continue to let John know how you appreciate his work. We offer him praise in lieu of salary. (If he ever hears about that whole "minimum wage" thingy, I am so screwed!)
