His scathing new comic about the political aftermath of Katrina is well worth sitting through a brief Salon advertisement. Brutal and hilarious. (Via Alterman.)

How is this not more of the same "jargon" that Eric Alterman used? Only now it is "hilarious"? This cartoon suggests that our reasons to invade Iraq are as flimsy as invading Iran because of the hurricane. Of course it is not true and does nothing to raise political discourse and only appeals to the partisans anyway.
Give me Doonsebury, Tony Auth, Jeff Danziger and Tom Toles instead.

Heh, i was going to say the same thing, John. I think that the difference is that Tom Tomorrow is evidently using satire and Alterman is not. But it's important that the satire is obvious.
Tom Toles tends to be a little too unsubtle for my taste.
