Now there’s a well-timed Jim McKee cartoon that looks at government’s super intrusiveness.
Jim McKee is relatively new to me, but he does great work. You can see some of his other cartoons here and here.
Regular readers know that I’m very fond of cartoons that portray government as fat and bloated slob. For other examples, see here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Humor is typical consolation on the road to serfdom. It is part of the standard path to decline. Europeans are daily making fun of the mandatory collectivism they have empowered their bureaucrats with. They make fun, they laugh… And then vote otherwise.

A good laugh makes it a little easier to capitulate to what seems inevitable.
