Description:
Two men in a bar editorial cartoon by Tony Newman.
Drawing of two men sitting in a bar with drinks in front of them. The man on the proper left is saying to the other man: "IT COULDN'T HAVE WORKED. SHE WAS DOWNTOWN, KAYAKING, AND "MORNING EDITION," AND I'M VALLEY, SOFTBALL AND "CAPITAL CHAT." Bottom foreground it white. The men sit in a hallo of white. The top background is black.
Notes:
The cartoon is satarizing generalized differences between the Valley and Downtown. What the character is doing is saying is that "She" is from downtown, listens to public radio, spends time in the outdoors, and is effectually a yuppie liberal. While he is from the Valley, is more conservative, plays sports and listens to more conservative radio.
