Is there a webcomic that, in form and function, takes after the visual and informational tradition of political cartoons, rather than comic strips or comic books?

This is a great example. (Also, hey, I vaguely know the cartoonist, whee.)

I temper the earlier statement, now that I've actually read it, to "good" example, since it leans down pretty hard on one side of the platform, and mixes in Tom Tomorrow-style elements like recurring characters and self-insertion.

That said, it's still fairly close to the mark I had in mind.

Well, right... she's definitely left-leaning.

You can have personal politics that lean a certain way, but still speak from a centrist perspective. I think the best political cartoons manage this (just as the best text editorials do), but Rain doesn't really seem to try for that. Which is fine.

I vaguely know her, too. Sorta friend-of-a-friend thing through mostly furry circles.
