2. Excellent question:
There's been a significant amount of complaining that the MSM is giving McCain a pass and is scrutinizing Obama heavily. Every move Obama makes becomes front page news accompanied by scathing criticism.

Well, it seems that political cartoonists are falling into the same trend.

It's a simple task to find a political cartoonist that consistently hammers the left or hammers the right, and some cartoonists simply focus on passing fads and fancies. Daryl Cagle (the second cartoonist in the OP) is the host of one of the largest political cartoon sites in the internet. And, he has his cartoon criticizing Obama's stance on drilling in ANWR and the Gulf as the lead cartoon on his website. The cartoon is laced with misinformation and unwarranted poking of emotional buttons, but there it is.

That's why I posted this.
