Oil-stained wretches

Nothing energizes cartoonists like a catastrophe, especially a man-made one with a manatee-chokin’, pelican-soakin’, habitat-threatenin’ black-hat wearin’, black-gold drillin’ villain. Matt Davies hooked up endangered fishin’ with dangerous fission. Ed Stein blew me away by tilting at windmills. And Steve Kelley (drawing from New Orleans), caps a terrific trio by huffing and puffing at Washington windbags. So much good stuff. Let’s hope the impact of a huge, black, inky eruption can impact the political environment for a long time.
