Money, the root of all evil

Here you go, a nice cartoon. Don't know how many of you are familiar with Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, but it is often very funny, and very on target, like this one about money. However TPP is a bit skeptical about there being trace amounts of ethics in all human dealings. As evidence a number of Lincolnland politicians are offered.  When TPP first found this cartoon, just the name was hilarious because it reminded him of a childhood where Saturday mornings were spent (wasted - parental translation) watching non-stop cartoons on TV and fighting with sibs about what cartoon to watch.  Of course the primary sponsors of these kids' cartoons were breakfast cereals (remember Quisp and Quake?), and to help fix that memory, Saturday morning was the only time your Mother let you have one of those sugary cereals as a breakfast treat (but we did have to eat in the kitchen).

Make way a cartoonist is coming

Cartoonists particularly those that translate politics and its foibles into hilarious renderings have always struck me as having the sharpest mightiest pen that can cut most deeply perhaps because they can convey so much with so little, and the Phactor does so like to see justly deserved ridicule meted out so amusingly. So imagine my delight to discover Marc Roberts on my lunchtime romp through various science blogs (HT to Gareth Renowden of Hot Topic and the Science Blogs of New Zealand).
