White served as a useful excuse. And hey, I enjoy the feedback on cartoons, even the criticism, so thanks everyone!

If you have a better idea, draw your own damn cartoon! I think the cartoons are great…why is everyone being so damn critical? If you have a better idea, draw your own damn cartoon!

I think in some ways Gordon's cartoons seem like they are classical political cartoons, much like the sort of cartoon one would see in the 19th century. I love it.

Given how things turned out, this cartoon may have been prescient.
