Good stuff! i find the cartoonist a polemicist, but he does express his point of view. The best cartoonist show the folly of both sides. He does once, in the Isreali-Palestine flag waving sketch. I’d enjoy an Escher-like cartoon is which hands are tearing down a building and hands are building one up, tied together, something like that. Be well!
