Each week, the Comics Curmudgeon helps explain Today's Cartoons. So! How about that Mike Huckabee, everybody? In a confusingly short period of time, he's gone from being a lovable ex-fattie with no chance of being elected president to a possibly not lovable ex-fattie with a dog-torturing son and a very slim chance of being elected president! His meteoric rise in the polls, which is mainly due to America's vanishingly short attention span, has got pundits of all stripes scrambling to come up something to say about the guy. And political cartoonists aren't exempt! They've been pretty spoiled by the Republican field so far, honestly, what with Rudy's ferret face and Mittens' ludicrously distinguished chin and Fred Thompson's liver-spotted chrome-dome. Now they've had to grapple with caricaturing The Huck. Even though we know it's energy wasted -- he's just the people's fancy of the moment, to replaced by Duncan Hunter next week -- we feel the least we can do is assess their efforts.
