What will come of it all?


rob tornoe, political cartoon, Press of Atlantic City, Virginia Tech


Sometimes, there is no ignoring a story. With everything going on with Virginia Tech, I knew it was only a matter of time before one of the newspapers I do cartoons for asked for one covering the event. I was afraid, because I didn't want to do Hokie Birds or Uncle Sam crying, no bulletholes in the chalkboard or blood-stained bookbags. But at the same time, I didn't want to exploit the events for a cheap joke. So this is what I came up with.

Yeah, I saw a crying bird at my paper here in Virginia. I liked your's better. At least it's got a point-of-view.
