September 25, 2009 – Obama wants to ACT NOW..sometimes…
Sep 26th, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

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.

August 7, 2009 – Clinton Benched

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.

July 31, 2009 – Healthcare or no Healthcare?

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!
Jul 21st, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

2009-0721-ham-blog
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.

GITMO

Another great one written by Ken Culotta!  Taylor and Jacob rejoin us after an absence to make a bit of sense.

Another great gag by Ken Culotta!

The bubble pops
Jan 16th, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

I’m not sure if we’ll have an infrastructure bubble as Ken Culotta indicates in writing this cartoon. it is sure that if we over accelerate that kind of construction, American taxpayers will be the victims of pork barrel projects of unneeded roads and overpriced boat docks. This ain’t the 1930s. Folks aren’t going to create infrastructure like they did in the ’30s for a dollar a day. Much less without health care insurance. It will be expensive and our country is not only broke, but in debt also.
