more cartoons

I love editorial cartoons. I especially loved the work of Chattanooga cartoonist Bruce Plante - until he relocated to Tulsa last year. I worried (for naught!) that his replacement would disappoint. Clearly, the Chattanooga Times-Free Press chose wisely when they lured Pulitzer prize-winning cartoonist Clay Bennett here from The Christian Science Monitor. Although I must question the sanity of any soul who willingly leaves Boston to come here. (Why, for the love of all that's good and holy, would anyone leave Beantown for the Scenic City of the South?!?) Be that as it may, he's good. He's damn good. And, like Plante, he's a liberal who loves to lampoon the GOP. Their styles are different (Plante sketches by hand; Bennett employs CG) but they satirize bureaucratic stupidity equally. They hunt the same prey, but with different caliber weapons.

I've already featured several Bennett cartoons. He's even gotten a lot of exposure in Slate's daily cartoons lately. So here's a taste of Bruce Plante's work. You can find him at: http://planteink.com/cartoons.cfm.
