Puppies, Elephants, Bunnies and Sexual Assault

Here are my last four cartoons.  The most recent is below, on the press growing less cute and adorable for Obama.  I think if I drew puppies in all of my editorial cartoons, my work would be much more popular.  I didn’t quite know how I would handle this one when I started drawing, so the rough sketch is a bit of a mess.

I was thinking of making this a four panel cartoon at first, with the doggie growing progressively bigger and a caption, but the simple two panel format won out.  here is the line art that most people will see in their newspapers that print in black and white.

Before that I did this one on the ongoing, outrageous, sexual assault scandals in the military.

And I drew this “Energizer Bunny” cartoon about the Benghazi Scandal that the Republicans can’t bear to see fade away.

There was a time when I would see an Energizer Bunny cliche editorial cartoon every week. Alas, those were the good old days.

Metamorphosis!

Richard Nixon is great fun to draw.  It would have been wonderful to work as an editorial cartoonist during the Watergate days.  It was an editorial cartooning renaissance.

This week, the pack of cartoonists all ran in the direction of comparing Barack Obama with Richard Nixon because of Obama’s worsening three scandals: the AP records seizure, Benghazi and the IRS.  I draw metamorphosis cartoons every so often, when the news seems to be calling out for them.  Here is the line art for Obama turning into Nixon, which most readers will see in newspapers that print in black and white.

Here’s the color version.

Just after the presidential election, the folks at Fox News were apoplectic about their loss, and ranted that Obama would be free to be the wild, radical leftist they knew he was all along, now that he was freed from the constraints of needing to be re-elected.  So I drew this metamorphosis cartoon.

Cartoonists draw evolution themed cartoons all the time – which are pretty similar to metamorphosis, I guess.  Here is Mitt Romney, and his evolving views about evolution, from back in 2007.

Here’s an evolving Donald Trump from 2011.

Cartooning, evolution and metamorphosis! It’s a tradition!  I’m working on another one today.

Are we there yet?

One of the most common editorial cartoon metaphors is the “Are we there yet?” cartoon, with “kids” in the back seat bugging a driver. It has been drawn hundreds of times, addressing all kinds of issues. I do one every couple of years.  There was a big Yahtzee of more than a dozen “Are we there yet?” cartoons during the run up to intervention in Libya, but I don’t recall seeing one on the current run up to intervention in Syria, so I thought it was time for me to do another one.

I thought I would look through the archives for some other “Are we there yet?” cartoons. Here’s a couple of nice ones from RJ Matson of Roll Call.

I drew this one about the Gulf Oil Spill, as Obama was being criticized by Fox News for being slow to react – “just like President Bush with Hurricane Katrina.”
