Bush 41 in Ed-Op Cartooning (and other stuff)

 

George H. W. Bush is the overwhelming topic.

The internal White House weekly cartoon roundup called “Friday Follies.”

Reagan loved editorial cartoons and had White House staffers cut out cartoons from newspapers around the country to compile them into what they titled on the cover: “WHITE HOUSE NEWS SUMMARY SPECIAL EDITION.”

The Extraordinary Life of George Herbert Walker Bush by Nick Anderson.

Houston cartoonist (former Houston Chronicle cartoonist) Nick Anderson has a full page tribute to George H. W. Bush drawn years ago with space reserved for when G.H.W.B. went to The Undiscovered Country. Nick had reminded the Chronicle editor about the piece earlier and then they joined forces once again to finish it.

Nick posted it on his Patreon page where it can be impressively supersized.

The Washington Post’s Michael Cavna has written about the tribute.

A Letter to the Editor:

The increase in jet inventory and increase in training are vital to safety and in line with historical impacts.

By contrast, the characters depicted in the cartoon, and in reality, are most likely recent Pacific Northwest arrivals. After having moved here, they wish the Navy to move elsewhere.

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin’
While you’re drinkin’ down your wine
