Considering the other choices for mayor, Eric looks better and better to me.

What does this cartoon even mean? I have to say, the last 2 weren't very creative or witty... To what extent has Bidwell seemed to be disingenuous? I don't support him at all, but I think this cartoon has no place, it has no meaning... Try Again...

Lighten up, Joe Buck. No sense of humor? In an election with a bunch of incompetents running for city attorney and two candidates for mayor who are, to say the least, uninspiring, a little humor is REQUIRED.

The cartoon asks the question: what changes does Bidwell want to make other than the identity of the person sitting in the mayor's office? It's a fair question, and cartoons are fun to look at.

Bidwell is cool. He lives on $500 a month, can you imagine the spending reforms he could impose on City government????? Man, I think he has the tools to clean the financial mess up. Heck, anyone is better than KFC Sanders.

The artist is hella-funny and spot-on to boot. If you don't get her humor, you are perhaps also the type of person who gets really frustrated when looking at works of art that require the slightest bit of consideration beyond recognizing the kind of fruit is depicted in the basket, or the type of whale that's swimming in the water.

I like the artist; the name sounds a little nepotistic (or possibly incestuous).

True, true. I will be voting for Mr. Bidwell, not because he is the most qualified or most capable, but because of who he is NOT---Sanders or Francis. He is wise to run against them as "suits" that have been paid for by developers, or in Francis' case thinks he can just purchase the office of mayor to satisfy his ego. Who knows, maybe Bidwell will win!? Then what?? Hopefully we'll still have Mike Aguirre to keep pushing around our clueless leaders and eventually get this backroom pension deal found illegal.
