I'm jealous. Scott Stantis, the best part of my morning paper, is moving to Chicago.

Congratulations Tribune, you're getting a great editorial cartoonist. (Prickly City, eh, not so much.)

Ah, he sometimes makes a good point. Unlike his conservative competition, Mallard Fillmore, which I think is drawn by Yawn.
