Jab, poke, stick, skewer, prod, pinch, slice, dice, lambaste, lampoon, belittle, slap, wallop, ridicule, scorn, mourn, embrace, criticize, satirize and eulogize. This is the unique language of veteran Ohio political cartoonist Jeff Stahler. His cartoons are frequently reprinted in major magazines and newspapers, including Newsweek and The New York Times. According to Stahler, the most difficult part of his profession is "dry days," and the most satisfying part is "those days when I can load my ink cannon with fodder faster than I can fire it."
