Comic Riffs is a blog devoted to the comics fan. Come in, sit down and put your feet up as we celebrate, contemplate, eviscerate and pontificate on cartoons.
As with any proper holiday, we seem to have a theme. Yes, my fellow patriots, if the holiday be Independence Day, the satirical angle of choice this year is: What civil liberties don't we have?
Here are four political cartoons that remind us of what we've lost or may lose. Suddenly, I have the urge to flaunt my independence, even if that means exercising my inalienable rights to eat odd meats (thanks a lot, "Agnes"), watch blottoed citizens play perilously with firecrackers and rip that pesky little tag off my good ol' American mattress, fineprinted law be damned. What's that -- the mattress was made in China?
Where's Lee Greenwood when you need 'im?
So the Official 'Riffs Poll of the Day: Which of these four Fourth-themed cartoons do you hold to be most self-evidently clever? This being a truly democratic blog, you've invited to vote below. Often.
'JOHN COLE' (cagle.com)
'JOHN DARKOW' (cagle.com)
'JIM DAY' (cagle.com)
'MARSHALL RAMSEY' (cagle.com)
