Creative genius

Even the fertile mind of Charles Schulz could not have dreamed up this year's cartoonish array of candidates.

Fantastic and Timeless

The focus and DOF is amazing. I love this shot. I am not a comic fan, but come on, who did not like Charlie Brown.

Lucy for First Lady

Back then a girl could only imagine she might be the wife of a president (as exemplified by Lucy's sign). Now she is able to witness a woman running for the office itself. We have a ways to go, but we have come a long way (though I suspect a dog will never have the chance to hold the office).
