The letter by James Arbour complaining about the balance in the political cartoons misses the point.

The cartoons don’t have to say nice things or mean things equally because the two sides are not equal in behavior. The cartoons just need to be pretty much honest.

If the doings of our new president and his cohorts weren’t cartoon-worthy, no one would draw them. And if the Democrats don’t seem to be doing anything much to draw a cartoon about, so be it.

Enough of the paper is local — please leave us this little bit of national comment.
