Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
Using the New Testament parable of the prodigal son who returns to his forgiving
father, the cartoonist pokes fun at Benjamin Butler's embrace of Hancock and the
Democratic party after being kicked out of several other political parties. (See the explanation of the previous cartoon, "The Widow's Wants.") |
