Today's Word—Cartoonists

Take no prisoners:

“Cartoonists are the free safety of the editorial board. They don’t care whether it’s a run or a pass. They just want to hit someone hard.”
Lee Judge, Kansas City Star editorial cartoonist (http://judgesopinion.kcstar.com/), at national editorial writers convention, 2007 (Thanks to alert WORDster Dick Hughes)

  2. They always say a picture is worth a thousand words. I agree, sometimes the cartoon that takes five seconds to read and comprehend hits a thousand times harder than a 500-word editorial. And I love that.
