Cartoons Wednesday!

Our weekly political potshots plus a look ahead to New Year's Eve with J.J. Cale.

Are you already planning what to do after the clock strikes twelve for January 1—or like some of us not likely to even be awake for that? If among the party going, here’s the late great J.J. Cale with what became a hit for Eric Clapton, “After Midnight.” J.J. was the real “slow hand” and “slow voice” and his album Naturally was one of the ten best from the 1970s. Then on to a dozen political cartoons. Enjoy, then subscribe, it’s still free.
