“Cartoons are the acid test of the First Amendment,” Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Doug Marlette once wrote [PDF]. We concur.
Marlette, whose work has been long recommended by The BRAD BLOG, was killed in a car accident in Mississippi earlier today. His independent, frequently politically-incorrect — and even frequently right-leaning — voice will be missed.
Marlette was 57.

I saw that, so sad…I also saw that interview with Flint over on Raw today too, it looks that we’re gonna lose another real patriot one day soon.
He called ’em like he saw ’em. He didn’t pull punches, and, most importantly, he was INTELLECTUALLY HONEST — he jabbed anybody he thought was acting dense, arrogant, or evil, and didn’t stop for a moment to consider their party of country. He was great a capturing a hypocratic concept in a single still frame of black and white ink.
Hmmm… First Amendment, Honest and Killed in Mississippi . . .
