In-your-face political wit and commentary are what singularly catch the eye in this tour de force of minimalist topical humor. Pay particular attention to the metacartoonist's choice of characters, laced as the entire scene is with meticulous attention to comedic detail.

The script used to make this toon:

<cartoon height="200" width="600" rowformat="2">
<panel>
   <character name="lenin"/>
   <character name="dot"/>
   <caption fgcolor="red" location="bottom left" size="20">I wish we could do more topical humor.</caption>
</panel>
<panel>
   <character name="napster"/>
   <caption fgcolor="blue" location="bottom middle" size="20">How's that?</caption>
   <caption fgcolor="pink" location="bottom right" size="18">Me?  Ow!</caption>
</panel>
</cartoon>
