How About Never- Revised(Adam) & Revisited(Bob)
Editorial cartoonists often take universally recognizable images and twist them into a useful satirical drawing for sarcastic and humorous purposes.

Magazine Cartoonists Going the Way of The Dodo? – update
July 23: The dearth of magazines buying gag cartoons does not bode well. ‘Nightmare!’ is how The Spectator’s cartoon editor Michael Heath has been describing cartooning for at least 30 years, but it’s truer now than ever.
