Cartoonists not drawn to Tory leader

Via The Comics Reporter comes a link to a story about how editorial cartoonists in Canada are reacting to having to draw a new set of politicians that come with a new election cycle.

Brian Mulroney had “The Chin.” Jean Chretien’s mouth — and what came out of it — made him great fodder. They were a dream for editorial cartoonists.

Stephen Harper just doesn’t have it.
