Speaking of the Post
Any man’s death diminisheth me, but the same does not apply to the Washington Post’s op-ed cartoons. Since the passing of the legendary, boring and unfunny Herblock, the Post has been using rotating cartoonists, because, they solemnly intoned, no single cartoonist could replace the incumbent, or at least not yet. So Post readers been getting a rotation of Toles, Auth, Lukovich, Bok and other luminaries. The cartoon space hasn’t gotten much less reliably liberal in the post-Herblock paper, but it’s gotten a lot funnier. I hope the eventually lure Toles to the job. Hell, if the Post can’t outbid the Buffalo News…
