MissionViejoCA.org Wins ‘Best Cartoons’
Press Release

Mission Viejo, CA, October 10, 2009 – It’s official: MissionViejoCA.org has the best political cartoons in Orange County. OC Weekly Magazine on Oct. 10 announced its “Best of Orange County 2009,” awarding the Mission Viejo Watchdog blog with Best Political Cartoons in OC.

MissionViejoCA.org’s political cartoonist, Lisa De Paul-Snyder, gives blog readers an entertaining view of city hall’s mismanagement, cover-ups and buffoonery. She often portrays council members as pinheads and uses her edgy wit to expose government wastefulness and incompetence.

OC Weekly’s brief description of De Paul-Snyder’s prowess acknowledges that her cartoons are hilarious. What piques De Paul-Snyder’s thought process? She says, “Mission Viejo city hall is a target-rich environment for anyone with an appreciation for sanity and a preference for limited government.”

MissionViejoCA.org publisher Dale Tyler says he enjoys De Paul-Snyder’s wit. He added, “Some of Lisa’s funniest cartoons demonstrate the outcome of city hall’s catastrophic ideas. The point is to laugh at officials’ bumbling behavior and inflated egos. We’re gratified that OC Weekly appreciates Lisa’s sense of humor, and we thank them for the award.”

MissionViejoCA.com is the city’s pioneer blog, founded in 2005 by editor-in-chief Carl Schulthess. Tyler has published the blog since its inception on his Web site, Mission Viejo Watchdogs, http://missionviejoca.org
