Those are some good cartoons. Stuff like what you and Marshall are doing is what I could envision the editorial cartooning community doing more often - live reporting. It just fits into this new era of more news provider/reader interaction created by blogs, forums and icaught/youtube. Thanks Nick for the link. Those are some good cartoons.

Traffic to the blog increased about three fold....my editors were happy with it. Still, I'd do it differntely next time; More writing and more sketches, and I'd skip the regular cartoon to free up more time for blogging. Nick I actually did this during the last general election:
