Tom Toles on Health Care.

I don't know why Toles appeals to me so much, but I find his stuff to be truly outstanding.

1. You know what I appreciate about Toles?

Unlike a lot of newer political cartoonists, he uses words only when he has to, and he manages to still make his point of view crystal clear. Other comics think they're re-writing War and Peace with their strips with long rambling screeds instead of letting the image do the talking, which is the whole point of a comic instead of a column.

2. I definitely prefer that style.

Pat Oliphant is a perfect example of that same style.

3. yeah, its a lost art

4. Likewise.

The less the better. Toles is a master of getting his point across with as few words, and as clear an image as possible.

5. Ann Telnaes is pretty good at getting the point across in few words too..
