I’m not a great lover of cartoons as a form, to be honest, all too often there’s exaggeration for malicious effect in the genre, which isn’t my way of doing things — but this DoubleQuote in cartoon form struck me as apposite for the insight it brings — that our media are under siege by those who would bully them into silence, not in two isolated ways, but in two ways that together constitute a sort of wave-front.
One “leading indicator” — one unconnected “dot” — leads nowhere. Two indicators — two dots — give us a possible connection, a pattern to be alert for.
Or in this case, against.

Ted Rall ( cartoons for LAT and few others ) notes that more “political cartoonist’s” where killed in Paris than are employed my all American magazines and websites combined. http://rall.com he does rant( and “Toon” ) some but it is his job as he sees it.
