While I do understand that caricature and exaggeration are an editorial cartoonist's stock in trade, I think Theo Moudakis crossed some sort of line when he translated Hillary Clinton's statement that she was "not going to be channelling (her) husband" into an image of the U.S. secretary of state flying into a chainsaw-wielding rage at the mere mention of the word "Bill."
I think it may have been the line between exaggeration and fabrication, or perhaps the one between political satire and misogynist fantasy.
