Warthogs

I’ve never met Cook County Commissioner William Beavers, but the Chicago Sun-Times editorial cartoon of him on Thursday as a warthog.

In the cartoon, warthog Beavers looks really dangerous.

Downright mean.

One might be tempted to say he invited the characterization by referring to himself as "the hog with big nuts."

Since we were just in Disney World and I took photographs of a warthog, I thought I’d compare the real thing to cartoonist J.P. Schmelzer’s imagination.

Make the comparison yourself between an African warthog and what the Sun-Times labels “Hogzilla Beavers.”
