I've always seen political cartoons as a form of entertainment, politically-centered of course but using entertainment to get people thinking about issues. (But, thinking about it more, my view of them might be twisted by the fact that the comic page of my local newspaper growing up was nothing but political cartoons, so those were my "funnies" as a kid.)

But you're right, thinking about it more I did end end up swaying the wrong way. I'll email the mods and ask permission to move it.
