August 20, 2010 – Obama and the Wave
Aug 22nd, 2010 by Rob Smith, Jr.

2010-0820-wave-chris1

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.

August 13, 2010 – Obama’s Slingshot

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.

April 13, 2010 – A New Platform
Apr 15th, 2010 by Rob Smith, Jr.

2010-0413-platform-chris

After there was much talk about “Drill, baby! Drill!”, I got tons of e-mails from environmental groups out to stop the idea. This time the President of the United States actually states that is his goal is to drill in a vastly larger area than Bush and I have yet to get even 1 e-mail.

Another written by Ken Culotta. I did a quick version of the oil platform. Those are VERY complicated. I added the oil slick for good measure. I forgot to record the pencils and inks for this cartoon.

Another great gag by Ken Culotta. Luckily I’ve been in an airport recently and could better draw the interior of an airport!

Click here and you can watch me draw the original cartoon for January 15th. Dick Daniels joins me and talks politics, too. I realized my concerns were too much and I scrapped it and zipped out the above instead. The cartoon above was entirely done using Photoshop.

January 12, 2010 – Unemployment

Click here to watch this cartoon being drawn. This cartoon came about because of an interview with Cristina Romer on ABC News This Week. WD from Sarasota pointed out the interview was coming up by way of Twitter. Thanks to WD for giving me the heads up. I would’ve ordinarily have missed the interview because where I am ‘The McLaughlin Group’ is what I watch when that part of ‘This Week’ is on. Ken took the concept and wrote the gag.

October 23, 2009 – Executive Pay Cut

So Washington talks of roping in executive pay. So executives will play the usual games by shifting positions to miss the purse string ties.

I had a fellow in mind as the janitor. I was working where he was a few months ago. That really helped get the distinctive look of the janitor vs. the executives.

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.

July 31, 2009 – Healthcare or no Healthcare?

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