I dunno, I get an "I'm clued on, everyone else sycks" vibe from him. Wow, compromising to corporate America - that's a new development. Obama wouldn't have met all MLK's expectatuons - no one thought that beforw. And then America's painter in a hood - another breakthrough. Somehow I prefer Banksy.

I read your link and looked at Fish's site. Cartoons aren't anything I've spent time looking at and beyond a brief perusal of his site I don't have the time to understand sufficiently to say anything meaningful about his work. But there is something from the article I want to address, it's kinda a pet peeve of mine.

A child of the ’70s, Fish was hopeful that the activism of the 1960s – such as the civil rights, feminism and gay rights movements – would lead to a better society. “I couldn’t wait to grow up, because I saw all of these things that from the past were finally being shaken out. All the nonsense and the bulls*** was finally being called nonsense and bulls***, and I was ready to reap the rewards of living much more honestly and sane in a saner society.” Unfortunately for Fish, that hope has long since dissipated. “I am furious at the fact that all of those sacrifices seem like a waste of time.”

I'm so tired of this attitude and this criticism of the boomer generation. I agree that we didn't change the world and create a utopia. True that there is much more work to be done. But there were more changes for the better in the 50 years from 1960 than any other time in history. I'm proud of what my generation accomplished and I'm proud of my small part in making those changes. Anyone who doesn't see the changes and how massive that shift was just doesn't know what life was like for blacks, women, gays, lesbians etc. in the 50's and before.
