Editorial cartoonists all employ the standard trope of pinning a label on their targets. No caricaturist can expect his or her work to be universally recognizable; multiplying that constraint by about a factor of 5 yields the
Lake County Journal's DIY cartoonist:
2010 Election Review
For those keeping score at home, the images represent, from l. to r. -- Mark Kirk, Joe Walsh, Robert Dold, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Seals. Although your LakeCountyEye isn't all that sure that Joe Walsh wasn't mislabeled:

DIY Cartoonist Drawing | Don Henley | Joe Walsh |
The label may say
WALSH but your LakeCountyEye's
Lyin' Eyes see someone else. Operatives are asked to decide for themselves who the
Lake County Journal's DIY cartoonist intended to represent. Don Henley or Joe Walsh? It goes without saying that quality control is the first thing to suffer in an economic recession.
