    I particularly like the discussion points in the blog because they offer a way to pursue in depth understanding for the cartoons about presidents whose administrations are not as well known.  In these trying times, the perceptions aspect (now they call it "optics"?) is more relevant than ever.  I always watch for Danna Bell's blogs and writings as she illuminates multifaceted perspectives.  I have already downloaded AND bookmarked this link.  Thank you for calling attention to it.
