Cartoon Tuesday: A Modern Day Paul Revere

Over at NYC Streetsblog they’re calling this strip “The Modern Day Midnight Ride.”  Of course, on this coast we have a different idea of what constitutes a Midnight Ride.  Other than that, Ben Fried introduces the strip perfectly.

Paul Revere embarked on his midnight ride from Boston to Lexington more than a year before the United States declared independence. Nevertheless, with the Fourth of July around the corner, this toon from Tom Toles seemed appropriate today.
