Normally we shy away from politics on Illustration Pages. But looking at political cartoons gives us a chance to feature more great artwork. So why not? And besides, the Anthony Weiner Twitter sex scandal lends itself so nicely to this art form. How could we resist?

Really fun feature! The Weiner story is pretty topical, and it's been a creative feeding frenzy as a result, so I see why you couldn't resist.
Yeah - I've always enjoyed political cartoons. Can you believe the cartoonist Pat Bagley has cranked out more than 10,000 cartoons? That's mind blowing.
