The First Cartoons of 2009...

...are a'ight. Y'know, I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm really going to miss drawing George W. once he leaves office. He's just so easy to caricature. Barack Obama, not so much.

I got a disagreeable comment on this cartoon on the DN website, but it was not ideologically based. Rather, the commenter claimed instead of not doing enough to fix the economic crisis (the point behind my cartoon), Bush was doing far too much in his last days in office, causing "11th hour mischief." Check out this link from CREW to learn more about why this is probably the worst administration ever:

Next up, a cartoon representing my ongoing frustration with the presence of Sarah Palin in the media. Palin is pretty easy to jaw, I mean draw, but I would rather go about my life not knowing she ever existed.


And finally, here's a piece I've been meaning to upload but couldn't: the front page of the last issue of the semester, which centered around paper dolls of the "Men of the Semester." Feel free to print off the image and put Barack Obama in a Joker costume, or Bo Pelini in a Monkey Suit. I think the Harvey Perlman doll works better in skivvies. As an added bonus, notice that the Space Ranger doll in fact has no skin showing, and therefore is unidentifiable no matter who is wearing the outfit. So really, the Men of the Semester are Obama, Pelini, Perlman, and a Space Ranger.
