Health care cartoons

People have said that laughter is the best medicine. So if you are in need of some (or if you just like editorial cartoons), check out Daryl Cagle's archive of health care cartoons by the nation's top editorial cartoonists. The archive, which is housed on Slate Magazine's website, is updated daily.

One of my favorite cartoonists is Pulitzer Prize winner Signe Wilkerson, who works for the Philadelphia Daily News. A good deal of her work has focused on women's reproductive rights, and in the early 1990s, she published a collection of her cartoons dealing with these issues entitled Abortion Cartoons on Demand. (I'm also fond of her work because like me, she's a Philly-area native who went to Swarthmore College)
