All in favour of a thread where the best political cartoons of each week can be posted, say "I". Motion carried by 1 vote - there being only one person present at the meeting.

There are so many good ones out there and I'm sure I miss a heap just because I don't read all the papers. So, post your favourite political cartoons here. By way of starting it off:

This comic strip was created using clip art by a few guys trying to cope after 9/11 and has quickly become a hit. I recommend starting at the beginning and reading through all of them (not that many) to get a feel for it. Wonderful, angry stuff.

Here are my faves:

It's amazing how someone can create a comic strip by reusing the same 3 images again and again too!

Over 100,000 Iraqis -dead. Over 200,000 Afganis - dead. and counting...
All dead based on lies fed to an uninformed public, to manipulate them into not seeing the true agenda. All dead in the name of protecting US interests. Not one single thing these hypocrites tells us is based on truth. Not one thing.

Edit: sorry, but there's more to it, and since it's in Salon premium, and I don't have permanent hosting to serve the image myself, you'll have to click the image to get at the rest.

Finally found a cartoon that isn't obviously critical of Bush!


but then it was followed up with this one ...


which goes really well with this one by Steve Bell.
