  Townhall.com::Jeff MacNelly is Still the Best::By Ross Mackenzie
Jeff was unlike the everyday rest of us in three principal ways - in his depth of insight, in his breathtaking composition and draftsmanship, and in his ability to combine that insight and artistry through humor.
Jeff shouldered cartooning as revolutionized by David Low and Pat Oliphant, and carried it down a different path - a new path of wit and whimsy and iconoclasm, where the hard truth and the dribbly line complemented the importance of each other, and where the best bozo gag-writers daily strutted their stuff in DeeCee.
Sabatini surely foresaw Jeff MacNelly in the opening lines of "Scaramouche": "Born with a gift of laughter and a sense that all the world was mad." He privately delighted in the rib tickling his quips and inkstroke gallantries gave the faithful - in the knowing laughter that was his greatest joy.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning political cartoonist Michael Ramirez is Jeff MacNelly’s brilliant successor in political cartoon artistry.
I guess one could argue that Gary Brookins is the immediate successor as his drawing style mirrors that of Jeff’s and he basically took over all of Jeff’s comic endeavors.
MacNelly was a true original (I know, ironic, given the number of MacNelly “clones” out there) and I don’t think there is anyone who comes close to the combination you’re looking for.
