Light Bulb Icon

Before you know it, a switch is turned on or off, and the light bulb lights up or goes off.

This is the way The Daily Dose editorial cartoon began 2012, with an iconic picture of what a light bulb thinks of when it has an idea.

Of course you might try to point out that light bulbs don't have ideas, but then you'd be clearly expressing that you have no idea about how cartoons work.

Maybe it's possible that old light bulbs think of CFL lightbulbs, or vice versa, and those would also be funny images to depic.

Meanwhile, you can thank Laughzilla for concocting this funny drawing for your pleasure, by getting your own copy of one of Laughzilla's cartoon books -- the perfect gift for any fan of editorial cartoons.
