The best political prediction of the previous week, in my opinion, came in the form of a nifty five-panel allegory by my (current) all-around favorite cartoonist, Tony Millionaire. In Mr. Millionaire's pint-sized morality play we find Hubris, portrayed by a gingerbread Rudy Guiliani, halfway around the world before Granny Truth has put on her shoes (or, in this case, her dough-belted radials). You can peruse it there instead of here because it is Copyright 2008 by Tony Millionaire.
Mr. Millionaire, like the most authentic visionaries, may have had no idea of his political prescience. No matter, I think he's the funniest cartoonist in the business today, bar no one. But a prospective fan must have a taste for vulgarity and robust cartoon violence in order to find the humor.
I offer this post as a welcome change of topic for an evening, and also as a memory jogger to myself. There are more important things to blog about in life than the U.S. Constitution and a world economy on the brink of depression. Cartoons are one of them. (That's right, English majors: cartoons are one of them. Fuck you.)
