This is what Wikipedia has to say about the cartoon feature in the Onion:

An editorial cartoon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editorial_cartoon> drawn
by "Kelly", a fictional character; the cartoons are actually the work of Ward
Sutton 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Sutton>.[37]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#cite_note-kelly-36>
The
comic—the most controversial feature in *The
Onion*[9]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#cite_note-DS-8>—is
a deadpan parody of conservative cartoons, as well as editorial cartoon
conventions in 
general.[37]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#cite_note-kelly-36>
Roughly
half of the cartoons feature the Statue of
Liberty<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty>,
usually shedding a single tear.

And here's what they say about Ward Sutton:

He also illustrates and writes a cartoon for *The
Onion<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion>
* under the pseudonym of 'Kelly', depicting the far-fetched Republican and
Fundamentalist Christian one-panels of a middle-aged cartoonist. According
to Onion President Sean Mills in an interview with
*Wikinews<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikinews>
*, the cartoon has generated "a lot of
heat."[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Sutton#cite_note-DS-0> "He
has a very unique take on what is going on in the world," said Mills, "and
it does tend to upset some people, but that’s the job of an editorial
cartoonist, to be a provocateur."
