Feeling good about Il Papa's outburst
against unrestrained capitalism, but he found time yesterday to
remind us that gay marriage is bad, so no cartoons for him today.
And sorry to see that Thanksgiving has
become for Americans what most of them also consider Boxing Day –
that day of pointless tradition about sharing that comes adjacent to
a day about political squabbling and unfettered consumerism.
So in the proper tradition of this
week, we're probably going to double up on turkey leftovers.
Today's toons were made into turkey
salad, turkey sandwiches, and turkey soup from the week's offerings
at McClatchy DC,
Cartoon Movement, Go
Comics, Daryl
Cagle's Political Cartoons, About.com,
and other fine sources.
