Machine Gun Wielding Cartoonist. I Kid You Not.

By Mark Kaufman
A 3 ½-hour standoff at The Miami Herald building ended without violence today as Miami police officers arrested cartoonist Jose Varela. — dressed in camouflage and carrying a submachine gun. Varela barricaded himself in the office of the top editor of El Nuevo Herald. The pen is mightier than the sword my ass. An example of Varela’s work above. Happily no one was injured in the incident.
