Blog Plug: Scott Bateman's Comics | by Ben
I recently was pointed to Scott Bateman's LiveJournal. He's a cartoonist that publishes his work online, and many of his recent cartoons are reactions to the 2004 election. Today's work is about the appointment of John Negroponte as National Intelligence Director. I like his sharp visual style, but even better is the way he just presents facts about the situation, building an argument panel-by-panel. I thought of posting this here because the discussion from this posting is all about reaching the other side; he's got frustrations that are similar to our own.

I'm really enjoying his stuff. But if feels a bit harsh to use to start a dialog with the other side. The wind-up is good, and he's digging up more details than I've been able to find through the newspaper. But the barbs at the end feel like they'd piss off the other side instead of getting them angry too.
