Things are getting tense out there on the campaign trail. I suspect that it’s only going to get worse. Romney is ramping up his attacks, innuendos and digs at Obama. Obama is not giving up on pressuring Romney to release his taxes, and doing his share of attacking. In all my years watching presidential campaigns, I have seen this before, but this year it feels worse. Maybe that’s because I am drawing political cartoons like never before, and my focus is sharper. Finding the humor in all this is not easy, but it can be done.

We have to hold on to that.
