Charles Fincher has announced that his political cartoon “The Illustrated Daily Scribble” came to end yesterday. Charles cites the rote actions of “Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld” as the reason for his creative stumbling block.

Why? “We seem to have a ‘Groundhog Day’ White House with Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld saying the same things and making the same excuses over and over, which can be creatively limiting to satire,” said Fincher. “You’d think they’d consider a cartoonist’s need for something new once in a while!”
