They can capture a moment in our national existence in a way that is memorable. They can show in their work things we mortals grasp for words to express. Steve Burns, a Pulitzer-Prize winning children’s book author, works for the San Diego Union Tribune.
A few days ago, he captured an image of the American economy that is not what our president promised in his campaign it would be. “Stocks Down,” he called it.
It’s the most creative illustration I have seen of our president and the times he has brought down upon us.
Burns’ cartoons are syndicated nationally by Creators Syndicate.
We hope he can do another portrait someday of our president that reverses the lines, not because we want him to succeed but because we want our nation to prosper no matter what he eventually does to it.
Hats off to Steve Burns who uniquely captures this moment for our nation.
