There’s something quite fascinating about cartoons, especially political cartoons. Even tough they are generally quite simplistic drawings, they are often able to express complex meanings, cause huge controversy, and stir the public opinion in ways which are utterly unique to the medium. If the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words” is true, then perhaps one could also say that political cartoons are “pictures worth a thousand arguments”. This one here, for example, provides a brilliant criticism of TV. I’ve never been too much of a TV watcher, particularly ever since the Internet came along; right now I simply think it’s a brain-sucking, home-wrecking, apathy-inspiring  devide, and outright one of the massfied causes of evil on earth. For me, this cartoon by cartoonist superstar Paul Conrad is just too funny because it clearly expresses the feeling I get from TV.
