Obama sure has proven that with a lack of education you sure can’t see past the end of your nose.

Written by Ken Culotta.

November 24, 2009 - Mary Landrieu

Prostitution is nothing new in Louisiana or Washington, D.C.

Ken Culotaa wrote this one. I was going in a different direction yesterday afternoon. My version involved a car and a street walker. I was speaking with Ken when he instantly suggested this far better version.

This is the first time I’ve used Photoshop filters to get effects and I think it worked.

October 16, 2009 - Obama’s Banking Trobles

Ken Culotta wrote this.

This sums up Obama’s run in office at this time. He has a Nobel Prize to show for his actions.

I penciled and inked this on paper. I inked right on the pencils, so the pencils were erased.

September 25, 2009 - Obama wants to ACT NOW..sometimes…

Ken Culotta wrote this cartoon and this really illustrates Obama’s priorities.

August 11, 2009 - The Untouchables

Ken Culotta and I cooked this one up.

Ken Culotta wrote this one.

I had to rush to deadline and, I feel, it really looks it. This is one drawn entirely digitally that I shouldn’t have. Amongst the mistakes here is that I drew the caricature of Hillary digitally and couldn’t get the proportions I wanted.

This one written by Ken Culotta and produced too fast by me.

July 28, 2009 - Sarah Palin Rides Off into the Sunset

I’m afraid the liberals now see this as her Waterloo and now they just push her to being exiled in Alaska. I know she has the spunk to move on. But will she?

This was entirely drawn using Photoshop. There is no rough pencil. Also, Ken Culotta and I collaborated on this with Ken writing the initial idea.

July 21, 2009 - Ham for All!

I’m combining all sorts of things here. From the mess that the OMB chief wants to whitewash, to Health and Human Services Director Kathleen Sebelius’ comment that the money for healthcare is already there, only “misdirected” to overpaying for ham.

I did this one quickly. The original cartoon for Tuesday was a tribute to the moon landing with a gag by Ken Culotta. But I had a lot of trouble getting the art to work with the gag. As these stories converged, I made the decision to construct this and hoped it encompassed it all well.

Here’s the cartoon on Glenn Beck’s website.

May 19, 2009 - Water Boarding

To see the cartoon at Glenn Beck’s site click here.

This originally was going to be more extensive with interrogators and tables and papers around. I had spoken to Ken Culotta about this we had discussed crazy things going on involving the interrogators torturing themselves to stop hearing Biden speak. As I drew it I realized I just didn’t have the room to draw even a few people and have it make sense. It’s not easy getting identifiable interrogators in the background dunking themselves in the water boarding bin. And playing Russian roulette. So I cut them out, extended the text and ended up with a mediocre cartoon.
