Editor's note: After the success of the recent Daily Kos fundraiser, Markos gave me the go-ahead to add some new cartoonists to our lineup. Today marks the debut of Brian McFadden, the creator of the alt-weekly comic strip Big Fat Whale, and more recently, a weekly contributor to the New York Times' Sunday Review. I'm a huge fan of his absurdist humor and offbeat insight, and couldn't be more thrilled that he'll be part of our new "afternoon shift." Please give him a hearty round of virtual applause -- and check back at this time Friday for our final comics announcement of the week. --Tom Tomorrow
