Cartoonists this week
Artists love a cartoonable face like Christine Fréchette’s, with her big eyes and arched eyebrows. Ygreck shows her accepting a dud torch and crossing the desert with two familiar vultures looking on. Côté brings in Legault’s compass (it’s been a recurring motif for a long time) and Ygreck gives Fréchette her own compass too.
The best editorial cartoons cross two subjects in the news. Côté offers a good example as PSPP sells his brand of maple syrup, while Godin links seasonal flooding and potholes.
Floor-crossing and the federal Liberal majority was another theme this week, Godin making it a hockey joke and Côté showing us the Liberal bus.
Mark Carney makes a gift of cutting the gasoline tax and Godin hints at where the funds are coming from.
The only cartoon that made me chuckle this week was Côté’s kid getting around a rule forbidding kids to go online. He also had a pertinent visual about the attractiveness of fake news.
