When a newspaper's most reliable Sunday content is drawings of the week's failures, you've built less a masthead than a gallery wall with a subscription fee. The cartoons don't interpret the news — they are the news, because the news itself has become so predictable that a caricature captures it more faithfully than a thousand words of access journalism ever could. Somewhere in Ultimo, a sub-editor files this package knowing it'll outperform every think-piece in the building.
