Waghorn caricature of Madonna

"The image is worth a thousand words, and no one can put it like Kerry Waghorn. His caricatures are topical, highly detailed and skilfully drawn. The personality of his subject is always reflected in his illustration. He not only captures features, he captures character. From political figures to sports figures to corporate bigwigs, no face is safe from the scrutiny of Waghorn's pen. He uses his illustrations to satirize his subjects."

This 1978 Kerry Waghorn cartoon from the editorial page of The Vancouver Sun could be published today, with only a slightly different caption. Is anyone surprised that the insolvent, frequently incompetent US auto industry is running to government cap in hand with its usual not-so-subtle blackmail, effectively saying: "no matter how much we deserve to fail, you can't afford the cost of the funeral?" Meanwhile, as the industry begs on the one hand, it has dozens of law suits running against government claiming damages from environmental standards and other laws.
