Yesterday, from an undisclosed location, Tom/Dan wrote in the e-mail that brought today's 'toon to the In Box:
Hey all,
Vacation cartoon #2. Regularly scheduled additional commentary will resume next weeks!
Dan (aka Tom)
And, with that scant intro, today's 'toon has Sparky the Wonder Penguin in a (Mostly one-sided) colloquy with a stolid member of the current occupant of the Oval Office's so-called "Base." This blogger — if he were the 'toonist" would have Sparky (with the Inuit-style goggles to ward off bull$hot blindness) talking to the lumpenmensch through an electronic bullhorn. If this is the (fair & balanced) recognition of the need for an aggressive dialogue, so be it.
