THE WEEK IN EDITORIAL CARTOONS
This weekly diary takes a look at the past week’s important news stories from the perspective of our leading editorial cartoonists (including a few foreign ones) with analysis and commentary added in by me.
When evaluating a cartoon, ask yourself these questions:
1. Does a cartoon add to my existing knowledge base and help crystallize my thinking about the issue depicted?
2. Does the cartoonist have any obvious biases that distort reality?
3. Is the cartoonist reflecting prevailing public opinion or trying to shape it?The answers will help determine the effectiveness of the cartoonist’s message.

Newt And Improved
This candidacy comes with the wholehearted support of and seal of approval by the editorial cartoonists of the United States. Looking forward to an exhilarating 2011 and early 2012.
Newt knows not to disappoint his many constituencies.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis
… was captured by Union troops on May 10, 1865 near Irwinville, Georgia. He served two years in prison in Fort Monroe, which is near Hampton, Virginia.

A comic version of Confederate President Jefferson Davis’ ignominious capture by Union troops in May 1865. Davis, clad as a woman and holding a wooden pail, is discovered by a lone trooper, Benjamin Dudley Pritchard of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry. The soldier lifts the skirts of the fugitive to reveal a pair of black boots. Davis’s wife (at right) protests, saying, “Only my mother.”
When apprehended by the Union soldiers, Davis was wearing his wife’s dark gray cloak and black shawl. The Union soldiers reported that he was attempting to escape in the disguise of a woman.
