It's a treat when a cartoon publication date falls exactly on a day like Halloween. And when a long, and sometimes acrimonious, election season is coming to an end a couple of days following, it provides a near-perfect convergence for a scary cartoon punchline. Happy Halloween!
That's the Point!

A jam-packed November ballot makes preparing to cast an intelligent vote similar to studying for a big test. Which, I guess, and election is, isn't it?
That's the Point!

After a sicko, bitter neighbor made national news with her harassment a terminally ill seven-year-old girl, the community rallied to the youngster's support and demonstrated that love - collectively - conquers all. That's worth celebrating and ...

Nothing adds to the "ghoultide" season like scary election season political attack ads. I've been listening to the radio spots and watching the TV ads, and you know what? It turns out EVERYBODY running for office is a dangerous maniac who wants to undermine our way of life and do something really bad to us (I'm not sure what) that's related to health care! ... And raise our taxes!!!
That's the Point!

Detroit pizza icon Mike Ilitch, already owner of the MLB Detroit Tigers and the NHL Detroit Red Wings, is in the process of purchasing the NBA Detroit Pistons; fueling speculation that he will eventually move the Pistons from their current home - The Palace of Auburn Hills - to a new (yet to be built) dual-purpose facility in Detroit to house both the Wings and the Pistons. That, however, will take a LOT of dough - and NOT the kind you use for pizza crust. In this economy he can't count on taxpayer help, so Mr. I may "knead" another source of funding.
That's the Point!

Governor Granholm used a clip from "Saturday Night Live" referencing the current recession during an appearance in Taylor last week. When a political figure provides a set-up like that, what cartoonist can resist? Besides, in a few weeks, we won't have Governor Granholm to lampoon anymore.
That's the Point!

While kids should count every day in school, in late September they REALLY count because that's when the official school system tally is taken that determines per-student state education funding. So, one ... two ... three ... (raise both hands ...)
