Tuscon Cartoonist Shines in National Spotlight

The week's news has been dominated by the tragic shooting in Arizona that seriously injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people. In a split-second, Arizona Daily Star cartoonist David Fitzsimmons found his hometown thrust into the spotlight.

From speaking on CNN during the breaking moments of the tragedy to defending Sheriff Clarence Dupnik's comments, Fitzsimmons has covered this story from all angles from the place he's best suited: his drafting table.

Here is Fitzsimmons' week in cartoons, in chronological order:

        Hey Mike,

        First of all, where's your talent. nobody's ever heard of you.

        And secondly, how hateful and loveless your life must be to comment about someone who obviously has a clue while you grope in the dark and wonder what a small thing your fingers find?

        Did your imaginary gf run off with Fitzsimmons or something?

        I looked up asshat in the dictionary and it said this:

        SEE MIKE REAVES.

          Mr. Reaves, can you even draw (let alone be willing to put it out there for all to see)? I dig the simplicity/lack of heavy flourishes of this artist, personally.

            I'll refer to cartoon #5, I rest my case. Mike.

            P.S. Shouldn't you be in church, or at the range, or something?
