Writing the words “US constitution” and “fire” on a drawing of the US constitution on fire, political cartoonist Keith Buchanan added the final touches to his cartoon “Fat Cats of Wall Street” by labeling absolutely everything. “I just want to make sure my readers get the message,” said Buchanan, writing the word “ca$h” on large sacks of money held by the fat, dapper cats. “That’s why I am making sure to specify, in writing, that the downtrodden man on which the cats are putting out their cigars represents small town America." Buchanan finished his cartoon by writing “my signature” underneath his signature.
