Are We Lucky They Didn't All Go For "Skinhead-Towelhead"?

Seriously, was this a trunk cartoon that he did for a day that he wanted to slam Romney but couldn't think of anything new? And what kind of self-respecting cartoonist does this when given material like "Mitt the Twit" and "RomneyShambles"?

(A bit of sleuthing discovers that this was Carlson's cartoon for January 20th, which explains much.)

Stuart Carlson, 1/30/12:

Funny names are Unamerican, and parents should be forced by law to name their children honest, God-fearing, upstanding names out of the bible, like Zippor and Nimrod.
