About this cartoon: The United States military finally captured Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, pulling him out — bearded, dirty and disheveled — from a tiny hole dug into the dirt near a hut. The fugitive presence of Saddam —on the loose, making broadcasts and trying to rally his people — helped stir anti-American violence, so perhaps his capture will help reduce those sentiments.
Noteworthy: Saddam's capture from his tiny hiding place seemed like an extraction, as in teeth, and his temporary beard lent itself visually to the offbeat image above.
