Thug o' the Month
This was a lot of fun and took up the entire page of the Sunday Viewpoint section in the Daily News. I occasionally do these longer narratives and find them quite amusing, albeit it's a ton of work. I had the idea approved on Wednesday, laid it out and finished the dialogue and inking by 4 am Thursday. Spent all day Friday coloring in photoshop. Not a lot of time to do a full page color cartoon. I thought it turned out pretty well and the tomatoes really have my sympathies by the end.
Here is a fun drawing I did for the Sunday Business page about taming the beast within your checkbook. With economic times being what they are we all have to deal with our own spending monsters.
I think I got most of the administrations slogans in here. I'm thinking about adding some color and turning this one into a T-Shirt. The media like to focus on the numbers, especially body counts, during war time. It's a pretty morbid practice when you think about it. Of course, the Bush/Cheney junta and the Pentagon doesn't want to hype 'arbitrary numbers,' like how many fine young men and women have been killed in our latest imperial adventure.
A recent cartoon referring to the now famous Hillary Clinton ad. Funny the way there always seems to be some kind of a 'break-out' advertisement that captures the public's imagination every election season. Mushroom clouds and little girls, anyone?
