The week between Christmas and New Year's always brings out an avalanche of political cartoons featuring a.) someone in line bringing an elected official to the exchange window, and b.) Old Man Time turning the world over to Baby New Year. All the newsmakers have gone home for the holiday, and all the editors have gone on holiday as well, greenlighting a week of The Year In Review articles. And heck, we cartoonists enjoy some time off this time of year as much as anybody else.
That was before a minority of American voters elected a president who doesn't respect the time-honored tradition of the Slow News Week.
Nevertheless, I promise that the cartoon I drew last Thursday night has none of that tired old crap in it. But since predicting what our mercurial president might do a week ahead of time is a fool's errand, I think I might have found something else that would still be relevant a week later.
