Sometimes, there's only the one possible basic line.

Pretty much every editorial cartoon about Rosa Parks has the same theme. That's how powerful her act was, and how deeply it's ingrained itself in the American consciousness.

Somehow, I can't bring myself to chastise the cartoonists for lack of originality. :)

Much the same happened when Christopher Reeve died, although I couldn't blame them for that either.

Also, IIRC, for Mr. Rogers. But some of those choked me up...it's amazing sometimes how the satirists in our society make the strongest points.

Sometimes that one thing they can say really says a whole lot.
