Universal Uclick’s Dave Coates has posted a third gallery of great cartoons by editorial cartoonist Pat Oliphant and offers three reasons why Pat “has a few advantages over most satirists”.

Number three references numbers one and two – head over to the GoComics blog to check out Pat’s work and read Dave’s piece.
He is absolutely a national institution. Great work and great to be reminded of it.
