Cartoons: Bernie-love lives on, despite the DNC

Apparently Julian Assange of Wikileaks doesn't want Hillary to win either (see link below). More disturbing is the suspicion that Russia is trying to influence the 2016 election. The New York Times reports "Spy Agency Consensus Grows That Russia Hacked D.N.C." To say nothing of the hit on my misplaced trust in the democratic process.

The cartoons below tell the story of the convention, mostly from a pro-Bernie viewpoint. Hat's off to cartoonists David Horsey and Drew Sheneman, both beautifully on-topic.

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.

Imagine, if you will, the presidential candidates as car models.

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.
