Local politics was the hot topic on this election day and my drawing board was smoking. The bitter mayoral campaign that pitted the Democratic contender, Allison Silberberg against incumbent write-in challenger Bill Euille, along with a potential shake up in Alexandria (VA) City Council — prompted my having a second cartoon at the ready to cover either scenario. 

That in itself is not an uncommon practice in the world of editorial cartooning. However, because of the write-in campaign which could have made for an exhaustive tallying process extending days beyond my paper's deadline, a third alternate cartoon was needed. 

Whew.
