GOP Debate Cartoons
So who watched the GOP debate last night? Did you think Mitt Romney stood out of the pack as the most presidential, or did Michele Bachmann’s barbs get your attention? What about Ron Paul’s call to remove all our troops from the Middle East? At least they could all agree on blaming Obama for the state of our economy.
Cartoonists have weighed in on the state of the GOP field so far. Check out their thoughts in our new GOP Debate cartoon slideshow.

Zapiro in Hot Water Over Second Rape Cartoon
Our good friend from South Africa, cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (who goes by the pen name “Zapiro”) has found himself in hot water once again over a recent cartoon he drew showing South African President Jacob Zuma preparing to “rape” a woman labeled “Free Speech”.
In the cartoon for the Mail & Guardian newspaper (pictured on the right), Zuma is shown unbuclking his belt, while African National Congress (ANC) secretary general Gwede Mantashe holds a woman depicting press freedom. Lady Justice is also drawn, and shouts: “Fight, sister, fight!!”
It draws parallels with a controversial cartoon Zapiro drew back in 2008, depicting Zuma, complete with trademark shower-head, unbuckling his belt as he prepared to rape the figurative Lady Justice. Zapiro and the Sunday Times where the cartoon appeared are currently being sued by the government for 5 million Rand (about $730,000).
“Careful thought was given to it,” Zapiro said of the most recent cartoon. “I discussed it with the editor (Nic Dawes) as I always do when a cartoon has the potential to be explosive.”
“We are disgusted by the cartoon,” ANC spokesperson Brian Sokutu told the Mail & Guardian. “We believe in the freedom of the press and freedom of expression and we can’t stop people expressing their opinion. It is the 
depiction more than the message.”
What do you think? Is the cartoon fair, or does it cross the line? Comment below and let us know.

More Weiner Cartoons
When a big story breaks, like a married congressmen tweeting tawdry pictures of himself across the internet, nearly every cartoonist will jump at the opportunity to commit something funny and pointed to paper. We have such a large roster of cartoonists that appear on Cagle.com, sometimes great new cartoons will continue to stream in days after the news initially breaks.
In terms of Weiner’s wiener, I already did one blog post commenting on a handful of funny cartoons that had come in, including my own. But we’ve received so many addition funny cartoons, I thought a second round-up was warranted.
