Better Cartoons Lately in the PNJ?

I noticed this past week that several of the cartoons in the PNJ WERE NOT blatantly anti-Republican, anti-conservative.

I could hardly believe my eyes when the one from Friday had Democrat Jerry Nadler at the wheel of a sinking ship called the USS Impeachment!  It was really great, really refreshing to see some humor applied to the other side of the aisle as compared to the constant, never-ending barrage of anti-Republican, anti-Conservative cartoons we typically have to endure over and over in the PNJ.....

I certainly hope these new more balanced and moderate cartoonists get on a regular rotation in the PNJ.  Maybe this is because of the merger between Gannett and GateHouse Media?  Who knows?

But I did want the PNJ editorial board to know I appreciated the new flavor of cartoon--so I sent them an email of encouragement!

Oh no, Andy will put you in another cartoon. But, I’m sure you’re ready to turn it on him. The PNJ should hire you for cartoon ideas, maybe they could turn you into a liberal Democrat.

Anonymous 9:11--that will never happen, I've been a conservative my whole life, registered Republican when I turned 18 and never "switched" for convenience--even as I spent many years living in California in a "Blue" State. Others who were lifelong Democrats locally switch for convenience or to run for office (one in particular switched in 2004 to run in a 2008 race) and claim to be conservatives--however they are not, and the ones who actually win never govern like conservatives. But I digress. But just as I thought they would actually try to be more balanced, I see yesterday they target Republican Senate President Mitch McConnell, and today they hit the Trump supporters again in the Sunday version of their cartoon. Oh well, more of the same. And, they ALWAYS have room for the liberal syndicated columns on their big readership day, today's Sunday edition. Oh yes, got to make room for "Cynthia Tucker" today. But the rest of the country is reading Walter William's syndicated column today, because it is sent out so papers can print it in the Sunday editions--PNJ conveniently holds this conservative column out for their (no readership) Monday edition...See how that works? Same game and same social engineering......But at least they had a few cartoons this past week taking shots at liberals...I guess it is something right?
