Cartoonist hits funny bone and journalistic nerve

Story  

Ruben Bolling's "Tom the Dancing Bug" cartoon is funny on most days, but when he decided to spoof the use of Photoshop by an Iranian news agency he hit a nerve. Bolling leaves few pop culture stones unturned with visual making references to how Fox News saved journalism by using a photoshopped headshot of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
