Big, fat targets

Cartoonists gave thanks last week for a scorn-ucopia of easy pickings. There was Hanoi Dubya (it was just as he remembered it from the Swift Boat ads!), the O.J. book, then the booklash, then Michael Richards’ (Kramer’s) appalling racial rant and obligatory apology. (Good thing O.J. wasn’t at the Laugh Factory.) We dined on plenty of traditional Thanksgiving leftovers — think post-election turkeys, political gravy trains and pilgrims-asillegal-immigrants — and handfuls of low-hanging fruit. But Dan Wasserman blasted a be-fruitful-and-multiply appointment, and, higher up on the food-for-thought chain, Tony Auth worried about the supply of fish in the barrel. Thank God someone’s paying attention.
