w00t for explosm.com-style!
I was reading Voltaire's book 'Candide' in my AP Language class and had to do a political cartoon for it after i finished reading ( all done in 1 night, hence sloppiness.)
Candide was a satire written in 1759, and surprisingly made good points about the hypocrisy and derge of religion and society in that time-period. It also tore down lofty philosophies of life that some people pushed during Voltaire's time.

I based this satire-cartoon off one of the main characters, Pangloss, who is a philospher that maintains that "everything is for the best" and "this is the best of all possible worlds" despite all tradgedies that happen to him and those around them.
