Before I begin, let me thank the online magazine The Week for such a fine selection of cartoons, some of which you will find below.
Newton's cradle (which illustrates conservation of momentum) and the news are combined by Steve Sack in "The domino effect:"
Gary McCoy postulates how a pope who is friendly and willing to to wade into crowds to greet people might handle security in his cartoon, "Pope of the people:"
Since the GOP's loss to Obama, many are pronouncing the party dead; Mike Luckovich takes the analogy one step further in "An honest reflection."
There's a fair amount of discussion lately about Americans' love of guns and the American gun culture. Bill Day's image below, titled "Build-in," pretty much sums it up.
Returning to the combination of science (or more accurately mathematics) and cartoon, here's Tom Toles' combination of asymtote, train, and budget in "Chugging along.". For a less geeky explanation of this word, try this reference at Wordnik.
Such are today's jewels.
