Shout out to EarlG's daily "Pic of the Moment"

1) The quality of the graphic is always very good

2) The way he frames the issue always gets to the heart of the issue

3) He frequently has a multiple panel shot that ties together many seemingly unrelated issues into a graphic that shows a consistent pattern.

4) If you have had a busy day that Pic is going to make sure you didn't miss the most important issue of the day.

Its not easy to get a four bagger on both content and style but EarlG does it every day, it is consistently one of the best features of DU.

Thanks EarlG.

And if putting together a cogent graphic that illuminates in a brief glance I would have done it here!
