My friend in Belgium sent me cartoons about our election from Nicholas Vadot. Amazing stuff.
He is apparently a Belgian cartoonist. I was just fascinated by his work. I wanted to post one of the cartoons here, but they look strictly copyrighted.

Do not miss these. Two of my favorites are the 2nd in the first row, and the last one in the next to the last row. To give a date...26 09 08 and 07 11 08.

Please note the hat on the head of George Bush. It says "Speak Slowly"

Nicholas Vadot Cartoons

Well worth the time.

Sitting on the beach. I would love to post some but I don't want copyright problems.

Not in my lifetime, she said.
