A lot of this week's cartoons are still about Gingrich wanting to take the US to the moon, and Romney not being that terribly worried about the very poor. But political toonists are starting to turn out good work on the Komen/Planned Parenthood debacle. And SGK deserves all the unwanted attention they get.

The other Jungle Book: In 1976, nine years after the Disney version of “the Jungle Book” sucked all of the oxygen out of theatres, veteran animator Chuck Jones (from the golden and silver age of Warner Bros, plus “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”) made a fairly daring leap: He animated “Mowgli's Brothers,” part of the same cycle of Kipling stories, for television.
