WaPo architectural cartoonist Roger K. Lewis RIP

...The subjects could often be weighty, but Mr. Lewis approached them with a distinctive wit that was distilled in his sketches — usually one-panel cartoons with commentary that carried a bite but was never mean....

In 2001, he sketched two people looking at a D.C. rail expansion plan. An idea pops up for financing: Tax all the property owners whose names contain any of the letters M, E, T, R and O.
