Cartoons: it's on.

Today's cartoons are takes on Bernie and Hillary; the presidential race in general; Powerball; and one cartoonist's farewell to David Bowie.

This cartoon about the race between Bernie and Hillary cracked me up. Seeing candidate Sanders associated with the latest Mad Max movie is, well, a shock.

Powerball seems to be on everyone's mind. The most recent jackpot was 1.5 billion, split between 3 tickets. Powerball has a website.

David Bowie, a man of many interests, created the fictional astronaut Major Tom. (There's a video that plays the song Space Oddity and gives the lyrics.)

Farewell also to British actor Alan Rickman. Here's a video discussing his role in Galaxy Quest.
