Chuck Asay is a great cartoonist. I once had a sit-down and tea with him....before he got to the big-time! His knowledge of political events, history, and his calm logic is impressive.
I love his work; he's one cartoonist whose work I constantly read. And my tagline on this thread ("I don't see myself as a conservative. I see myself as a religious, right-wing, wacko extremist.") was a paraphrase of something he said in an interview. Unfortunately, I couldn't fit his name in there as well, but I always give him credit for it. :)
