I found myself compelled this week to spend a few minutes putting together this Tucker Carlson composite, just as a quick post on Twitter. I figured lots of people would do create an image like this.

I quickly saw that I beat “The Lincoln Project” Twitter account to it by ten minutes; they did the exact same thing and pressed the Tweet button just after I did. And, as I expected, I eventually saw that at least one person beat us both to it, by hours: cartoonist Clay Jones.
