The Best of Jim Hunt 2001
We expected big things from the past year, seeing how it was the actual, for-real
first year of the new millennium and everything. But we didn't expect that
big a year. Nationally, of course, the horrific September 11 terrorist attacks
and the US response dominated the news. But locally, Charlotte had its own homegrown
horrors: city council bent over backward (or was that forward?) to please the
Hornets' owners, then had its head handed to it by referendum voters; the Panthers
organization vied for both worst team and worst turf of all time; rats took up
residence in a school food warehouse; troubled US Airways took solace from a post-September
11 bailout; the neediest among us continued to be victimized by the mind-blowing
disorder at Charlotte Housing Authority; plus, we had to put up with the usual
school board battles and follies. Yep, it was a stellar year, and CL editorial
cartoonist Jim Hunt was there to capture that special flavor of absurdity so often
served up in the past 12 months. Here's a chance to look back at some of Jim Hunt's
best work from 2001. Let's hope, for our own sakes, that Jim doesn't have so much
to work with this year.
