The bottomless pit
This is the cartoon I had originally planned for this week, before news of the Newtown atrocities broke. With the Times reporting the possibility of a deal in the works that includes Social Security, I thought I’d go ahead and get this one out there.

Generic gun massacre cartoon.
Every time one of these atrocities has occurred, since the cartoon below first ran in January of 2011, readers have written to suggest that I rerun it with a blank line replacing the name of the town. And in fact, I seriously considered it this time, as a way of driving home the sheer numbing repetition of these massacres. But then I realized I wanted to take the idea a little further than that, so this is where I ended up, with a sort of sequel to the last one.
Fuck.
Somebody on Twitter asked for a link to this one, easier to just repost.
