Justin O'Toole had it made. It took him awhile. He'd started by illustrating the Continental Lingerie catalog ("for the oomph girl!"). Then he'd worked on the daily War King Sky Killers strip. From there he'd jumped to the editorial page in Hackensack, then to Dayton, and finally, the big time--chief editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Beacon. He had wit, he had talent, and now that he was in Chicago, he had more subject matter than he could use in half a dozen lifetimes. At first he'd gone the normal route, caricaturing everyone from the President to the Mayor, but then a fan sent him one of Walt Kelly's old Pogo books, the one in which Senator Joe McCarthy had been drawn as a wildcat (and which subsequently made Kelly's reputation as a political satirist), and he realized that no one had done anything like that for years. So the President became a bellicose rhino, and the Mayor became a sly weasel, and Alderman Berlinski became a skunk, and Senator Neiderman became a cockroach, and Police Commissioner Ryan became a sloth, and within two years O'Toole had won a Pulitzer Prize and published his first book of political cartoons, which became an instant bestseller, not just locally but nationally.
