George Carlin: Death and Coincidence

The final truth...

This editorial cartoon was published in the Cincinnati Enquirer, before word of George Carlin's death.

I know this is a somewhat different definition of the word "comic" than we usually address here on ComicMix, but Carlin did much – perhaps more than anybody else – to mold and shape our attitudes over the past 40 years. He will be greatly missed.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to the Chicago Tribune's Charlie Meyerson. His paper also published this cartoon before news of Carlin's death.

And no, I won't say "passing." Carlin hated such euphemisms.
