Some of the political cartoonists you see in the alternative press, in zines,and on the web have gone where no good lefty has gone before: onto thepages of Fortune, Time Magazine, and daily newspapers around the countryincluding the New York Times.
Yes, folks, it’s weird but true. This ragtag gaggle of the scruffy and theprofane has infiltrated the mainstream to fight for truth, justice and theun-American way with pen and humor. And these subversive satirists aremaking readers around the country quake with laughter.
The right may have the power, the money and the best hors d’oeuvres atFund raisers, but the left has all the good satire. And, today, so do we.
