Canary in the Coal Mine


A jack-booted, goose-stepping fascist guides the slavering Mogen David to devour the widow and the orphan. By Pat Oliphant:
Called "the most influential cartoonist now working" by The New York Times, Pat Oliphant occupies a unique position among today’s editorial cartoonists: Widely considered the dean of the profession, he is one of its sharpest, most daring practitioners.
Oliphant works under the auspices of the New York Times. This was published Wednesday, in the Washington Post. (On which website it is oddly not currently available.)

But that couldn't happen here.
