Ah, for the more elegant politics of a more civilized age:






Surely in the glory days of the Victorian age, politics was more civilized and more elegant than it was today. Why we lost out on a great and glorious age of civility in political discourse, when the politician from a lower-class background with a silver tongue was bashed for such an absurdity and the one who had an illegitimate child was bashed for his paying child support. What a civilized and vanished day those long-vanished times were.

And now for a completely different question, what are your favorite political cartoons?

Reading your explanation, the cartoon obviously is rich of subtext and has a piercing insight. You guys must have a great school of cartoonists.
