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.

May 29, 2009 – Everglades Pythons!

Above is the final art of Friday’s cartoon on Glenn Beck. To see it there click here. Below is the very rough pencil drawing. I’m pretty knowledgeable of the environs of the Everglades. So I filled in the landscape when I inked. Still I should probably pencil a bit tighter.

The pythons are loose and it’s actually a very serious matter. These guys eat everything and spit out what can’t be digested. According to State wildlife officials in a story last year, there’s little to stop the migration of pythons throughout the state of Florida due to their ability to reproduce like rabbits, lack of natural predators and the difficulty in finding and killing them. As that migration north occurs, many native and non-native wildlife will begin to disappear as these critters literally eat their way into the Southeastern U.S. The prediction is that within fifty years these giant snakes will be well embedded throughout Florida.

What to do about it? Well, it’s like those immigrating into the U.S. that demand we speak their language and they have little interest in learning ours. Aggressiveness rules. If we in Florida handle the python issue as we handle other aggressiveness into the country, we’re in big trouble. I doubt that we will change signage to add a python language or that the U.S. government will belittle everyone else in favor of the pythons. However, if we just sit back and drink beer and watch football and don’t react to this threat, we could have interesting neighbors in our own backyard.

Obama news conferences
Feb 8th, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

Not one of my better constructed cartoons. I envisioned this cartoon very differently. I had already pencilled and inked a different comment on the Daschle issue and then he goes and resigns. So this replaced that.

So, I thought I’d tackle the big beginning of the new regular series of Obama TV shows. He has little experience in anything. One thing he does know is how to use his mouth. Monday is the beginning of some people getting reeeeeeeeal tired of hearing him and his fancy talk.

He’s going to be sailing the typical platitudes and weaving around specifics about this payoff to big business. Specifics the public needs to know. Sepcifics that the folks in Washington don’t want the American public to know. Just trust them. It’s like the Bush administration never went away. Only now they’ve got a better pitchman.
