Fire lines

In the aftermath of the wildfires in California, cartoonists turned up the afterburners for their afterthoughts. Some joined Signe Wilkinson and cynically lamented that if the flames didn’t consume your home, your consumer home loan might. Rex Babin couldn’t resist a shot at FEMA, but no matter how well these fine public servants performed, it only served to remind us how we couldn’t stand their service in the bayou. Finally, Matt Bors gets some kind of award for outside-the-box thinking. Somehow, though, I suspect he didn’t act alone in crafting his rollicking conspiracy theory. He’s clearly a security risk and probably had help from the one-armed man on the grassy knoll, funded by the Trilateral Commission.
