Copyright © 2009 Universal Press SyndicateWeeks ago, it was too much fun to pick out some political cartoons out of the litter, so this week we'll jump into this exercise again.
This time, Week in Cartoons part deux is bolstered by a cartoon controversy that happened in this last week in the mass media. Those familiar to this most recent media drama may smile at the cartoon pictured above.
Racial caricatures and controversy aside, let's look a the lighter side of things through good ol' fashioned cartoon cynicism.

In many ways, I empathize heavily with Detroit's troubles, since at one point in history, my home town and the Rust Belt were happily married. Pure stubbornness and lack of wanting to change makes us forget how long our worlds have been divorced.

A voice within the industry that caught my rapt attention was Mark Potts from Recovering Journalist, a man who although spent decades in the journalism business, was still one of the early recognizers of the power of the Internet.
In a recent visit to my George Mason University Online Journalism class, Potts prophesied that by the end of the year, several newspapers will be out of business. Let's hope that this particular scenario doesn't fill in the void.

Only your money can prevent bank fires - from going out, that is.
As the administration moves on from Day 44 to Day 45, then 46, 47, the bolstering or criticism will only continue. This post on cartoons was short and hopefully sweet at best, but we'll move on to see what else a gaze at the Internet will find.
