The picture on the wall is "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso. In it, he depicts the death and destruction brought on by the Spanish Civil War (which was why he permanently relocated to France shortly after). Basically the comic is saying that the GOPs and Dems need to sit down and co-operate, most likely on the issue of Iraq.

The title of that cartoon was "Accounts of the War".

I don't know the details of the politics involved, so I may be wrong, but I would venture to guess that the liberals are keeping pace/passing the tories by not doing anything (coasting). It's like they shouldn't even be in the race (no engine or tires), but somehow they are keeping up (or winning). I think those bumper stickers on the liberals car might explain more of it.

Yes, the Suns across this country are conservative, for the most part. And the writing is directed at a grade 8 reading level.

As for the interpretation of the cartoon, Bamspeedy got it in one. The Conservatives narrowly won the last election, in January of 2006. Since then, the Liberals have been operating under an interim deputy party head.
In the meantime, an aimless, leaderless Liberal party have pulled even with (or according to some, have surpassed) the Conservatives in the polls, while the Conservatives have begun to choke on their own election promises.

The ships are names Cambridge, Nashville, and Gemsbok. The people are saying:
"The only way to capture that ship, is to get Morgan to buy her."
"Ship ahoy! Heave to and surrender!! Don't you see that the 'Department' have bought and fitted up this magnificent vessel, on purpose to catch you?"
"I don't see it! Nary a catch!!"
"Give our compliments to the Secretary, and tell him, he shall certainly hear from us by every Northern vessel that we meet."
"If you don't stop, we have instructions to come to anchor, and write the Secretary for further orders.""Well Shipmate we've done our duty; We put in this old tub to Watch and we have Watched."
"Shiver my timbers my hearty! but it would have been a darned sight better to have put us in a decent Ship and sent us here to catch.

Just to reply to that. We do technically get free education and I do feel for people like yourself who really get screwed by the system by only trying to better themselves. I was more annoyed at the idea that I'm only getting charged this because I stayed the full course of the degree. People who started sitting a HND and then progressed onto my degree didn't have to pay anything. Crazy. Anyway, back to the Political Cartoons...

This cartoon is funny because it works on two levels.
