Summary:This article discusses political cartoons drawn by "The Economist" staff cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher, and his work to further expand the medium of cartoon illustration. Kallaugher has spent months at the imaging research centre of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, to develop a three-dimensional virtual cartoon that can talk and move in real time, capable of responding to news with even more immediacy than the traditional political cartoon.
