Steve Jobs Is Dead, Alas

Tom Toles, 10/6/11:
Because what Steve Jobs is known best for is taking over tedious grunt work and automating it?

No, wait, that would be either Microsoft or Oracle.

This is, in fact, just a bland "hey, a famous guy is dead" cartoon, and it proves that even Pulitzer Prize winners nod, especially when on deadline and with an obligatory cartoon subject.

And Toles wasn't the only one...

Mike Peters, 10/6/11:
I'm sure Apple fans wish that they could call Jobs back for an encore, but this cartoon strikes me as not quite as clear on the permanence of death as one would expect.
