I do feel that Putin is challenging the power of the west. He’s doing it well do to the West being so lost in poor leadership and home based problems. At this rate Putin could rightly take the mantel as the world’s leading power.

The version above was not the first I did. I was listening to The Five and the Kelly File on Fox News and I pictured this scene and started drawing it. As I got close to finishing the cartoon, I realized it just didn’t work and went back and did the version above. With a head for sequential storytelling, I want to layout a meaningful stage to place the characters in with lots of detail.  These days, I need to work as simple as possible and get the message across. Hope the cartoon above worked!

I’m, backed up with cartoons to send. And the brilliant Ken Culotta called me today with more ideas! I’ll get a few out in the next few days. Tomorrow’s will be one that Ken called me about.

Please feel free to forward and post these as you would like.

My editorial cartoon for today – Response from The Flat Earth Society to John Kerry. Drawing again from John Kerry’s speech a few days ago where he stated that anyone not believing in Global Warming must also belong to the Flat Earth Society. Seems the Flat Earth Society might just disagree with Kerry’s sentiments.

I wanted to add more items around the hideout that would fir, but, with deadline approaching, only added the swinging tire.

There goes Obama! Isn’t he havin’ FUN!!??!! And not one press person around!

I have been recently slammed with work and divorce legal issues and was going to pass on both cartoons this week. I quickly knocked this out Thursday night. Entirely done with Photoshop.

This was a tough one to get out. I had an extremely full day where I was on the road. I ended up drawing this at a Denny’s while waiting for my father’s delayed flight near the airport. So this one was drawn a bit more in a rush than others.

As this bubbles up, Pelosi and friends are in trouble.

Apparently if you want to make your troubles disappear, you just pretend they’re not there. So are the actions of Afghanistan’s Karzai as he seeks to excuse 100 on the United Nations Terrorist blacklist. I have to wonder if this is also what the Obama administration seeks to start for the back door of their Afghanistan war.

Another written by Ken Culotta. This was also his layout for the cartoon. Originally this was going to be a cartoon about the Black Panther situation that Ken wrote and really wanted me to do. But I considered the cartoon to be a bit volatile, unfortunately, and pulled it at the last minute. That is why this one only exists in the computer. I entirely drew it in Photoshop using a Wacom tablet as my drawing instruments.
