Also from the Post, news that George Fisher died at his drafting table. Fisher was the main political cartoonist for the Arkansas Gazette, and spent his life lampooning the absurd, of which there was plenty in the big-fish-small-pond world of Arkansas politics. From "keep busy!" hats (Corps of Engineers), to governors riding tricycles (Bill Clinton) and eating bannanas (Frank White), his images helped form my own political opinions when I didn't even know what political opinions were. He will be missed.
