Wonderful cartoon- and great style. Love your sharkie. And your MSM remark!

And yes, I think cartooning is indeed an art. I think it lies in a crevice between literature and classical art, because I view classical art- before the "modernists"- as being more articulate, more expositive and less introspective than the modernes. Oh, I know, I'll get a lot of flak on that remark.

In my view, 3 major changes made modern art, and in particular, abstract art, less communicative: the invention of the camera, the effective disappearance of the "patron", and Guttenburg's press.

And I'm not being elitist, here. Quite the opposite.

Great political cartooning is articulate and populist, I think. That's a powerful combo. Add to that the Net, and it's combustible.

Keep doin what yer doin, PCot- you have great talent.

Thanks a lot.

And I haven't forgotten about you, those ideas you sent me. I'm trying to work them into my schedule as we speak.
