Each week, the Comics Curmudgeon helps explain Today's Cartoons . You know, we're beginning to realize thatourconsumption of political cartoons is different from that of the average American in both quantity and quality. Most people don't read political cartoons at all, because they're boring and stupid, just like reading itself. Those who do read them generally scan their editorial pages briefly, remark, "Huh, George Bush has gotten all turned around in Iraq -- just like Nicole Richie the other day!" and move on to the weather. We, on the other hand, are forced by our cruel taskmasters at Gawker Media to slog through endless reams of political cartoons. As a result, we begin to feel a deep revulsion for those comics that are predictable; unfortunately, as we read more and more political cartoons, the only ones we can no longer predict are the ones that are totally insane. So this week, we salute those comics that went that extra mile into total lunacy. We don't really "get" them, per se, but they distracted us from the Nicole Richie jokes.
