Auchter's Art: Thankful for leaders

Cartoon of old men asking women for "where are our great Men" with the next panel showing the Elissa slotkin getting threats on TV and the women saying "The next great men, may be women".

For Michigan Public

I suppose I should have done a Thanksgiving Day cartoon. But in a way, this is one. I'm thankful that there are elected officials, leaders, and everyday people who continue to try to do the right thing. They are out there speaking truth to power at a time when it seems like it has never been more difficult to do so.

So maybe next year something with pardoning turkeys, pilgrim immigrants behaving badly, and whatnot. But this year, I'm just gonna focus on the grateful and support the courageous.
