Today. A Spoken/Unspoken Colloquy Between A Pair O'Strange Bedfellows

No wonder Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) won the 2013 Herblock Prize from the Herb Block Foundation (created by a $50M bequest from Herb Block's estate). This prize is the Nobel Prize of political cartooning in this country. Today's 'toon is a prime illustration of savagery in a half-dozen cartoon panels and it is hell in a very small place for Dumbos/Morons. If this is (fair & balanced) visual punditry, so be it.
