1. Excellent, thanks

RIP nostamj, you will be missed.

[StuckinBFE]

2. Awesome, Thank you.

[Mad_Dem_X]

3. KICK! Good job!

[annabanana]

4. Very good, thanks.............BUT

The third one seems to be anti-Dem
and the 12th one seems to be Pro-Bolton

[derby378]

6. I'd disagree on both

The third one is Gonzalez extinguishing Lady Liberty's torch with the PATRIOT Act renewal, and the other TOON you mentioned shows what trouble Bolton can get into when he tells the truth about his own past with the UN.

I do consider using comics from conservative artists if I think a particular artist made a really good point - but I try to avoid anti-Dem messages in my compilations.

Thanks for the feedback, though!

[Jack Rabbit]

5. It's good to see this tradition will continue

Rest in peace, Jeff.

Especially the one with street duels in Florida. I hadn't thought about it that way before.
Here's one of my favourite cartoonists since the early 90's - Mike Luckovich:
