I'm going to let these political cartoons from the 70s speak for me. Editorial cartoonists are some of the best commentators: commenting, provoking, educating, and inspiring in one panel and a few words. Powerful art.

Many of the following are by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post cartoonist Herbert Block, also known as Herblock. He was one of our nation's most brilliant, prolific, and longest-lived (72-year career!) editorial cartoonists. And I daresay one of the most prescient, as his cartoons could be published today with just a few minor edits.
