Cartoons About Romney’s 47% Flub
Mitt Romney is getting slammed by our cartoonists over a video released yesterday where the Republican Presidential nominee tells fundraisers that he thinks 47 percent of Americans are “dependent” on the government, and will automatically vote for President Obama because of the government benefits they receive.
Pat Bagley of the Salt Lake Tribune evokes the etch-a-sketch in his cartoon about Romney’s flubs…
Rob Tornoe shows how Romney can do no wrong on Fox News, no matter what he says…
The Hill’s Chris Weyant sums up the only message Romney seems to be able to stick to…
Dave Granlund see’s the Romney campaign as just one pothole after another…
Tim Eagan goes a bit existential with his cartoon about Romney’s continued pandering…

Best Cartoons of the Week
Every Friday, we collect the best political cartoons of the week and stuff them into one big, glorious slideshow.
So just relax and catch up on a week’s worth of news with our Best Cartoons of the Week slideshow.
R.J. Matson, the editorial cartoonist for Roll Call in Washington, D.C. (and who I syndicate via Cagle Cartoons) came up with an original take on Mitt Romney’s much-maligned comments following the tragic attack on the U.S. consulate on Benghazi, Libya:
Matson is one of the most prolific editorial cartoonists working today. In addition to his job with Roll Call, Matson was the daily staff cartoonist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for seven years, before being laid-off last month as part of a paper-wide cutback of employees to save money.
I interviewed Matson about being laid-off, and he shares my fear about the future of editorial cartoons, which are more popular than ever online and in syndication, but threatened by these continued job cuts.
“It’s such a difficult job to do well day after day, I don’t see how cartoonist can crank out stuff like that unless it’s a full-paid job treated with a lot of respect by the publisher,” Matson said.
“The cartoonist is essentially a columnist and a vital voice for the paper, and a vital voice for the community,” Matson continued. “People love to see events in their town reflected back in editorial cartoons… If newspapers give up on that, they’re giving up on their local scene.”
Here’s the interview:

Cartoons About Mitt’s Libya Blunder
Mitt Romney’s comments following the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans has been referred to as a “Bungle… utter disaster…not ready for prime time… not presidential… Lehman moment.” And that was just from Republicans!
Our cartoonists, despite kicking back in Washington D.C., preparing for this year’s Association of American Editorial Cartoonists’ (AAEC) Convention, have also put pen to paper in response to Romney’s highly-politicized remarks.
Arizona Daily Star cartoonist David Fitzsimmons doesn’t think Romney is ready for primetime:
Bill Day decided to draw Romney being hung by his own tongue:
Bob Englehart of the Hartford Courant drew Romney giving his press conference on the grave of the diplomats who lost their lives in the attack:
While Bill Schorr drew the Republican Presidential nominee leaving something behind in the cemetery:
