Political Cartoons

This political cartoon, wittily titled after the wretched 1961 musical, is a humorous commentary on the 2012 presidential election. The cartoon depicts the Sesame Street character Big Bird driving a car, to the top of which is strapped a kennel containing Mitt Romney. During a presidential debate, candidate Romney said that he would cut funding for public broadcasting, despite the fact that he loved Big Bird, a comment which raised almost as much ire as it did eyebrows. The point of the picture is to put a comical spin on Romney's loss of the election, showing Big Bird as the victor with an imprisoned Romney.

In this cartoon, the various post-election secessionist movements are lampooned in the figure of an overweight tricorne-wearing idiot exiting a house labeled "America" whilst shouting the valediction, "Don't beg me to stay, I'm seceding!" Those inside react with the murmur, "Quick! Change the locks." The cartoonist is satirizing those who wish to secede from the union in reaction to Obama's victory by portraying them as unwanted dolts believing they are making a massive statement in leaving a group who can only be thrilled by their absence.
