The lazy babysitter

This one was really complicated. Each flame is a different layer in PhotoShop. I feel like I didn't finish the donkey well enough. Once again I stole from myself- Bush is from an earlier cartoon, although I tweaked his face a little in PhotoShop. It took forever to find a chair that I liked. Daryl Cagle is not just a cartoonist, but a syndicate editor and he complains about aspiring cartoonists who send him works with lots of photos or clipart included. All these things had me feeling pretty bad about this cartoon, but I got an email from a former student who went to Georgetown and now works on K street in DC and she told me tha tshe thought it was so funny that she shared it with a bunch of her friends. Maybe it is the thought that counts after all.

Super Hero, or super villian?

Protect us, PLEASE

One of my New Year's resolutions was to make the editorial cartoons that I do for the Charter Oak-Ute NEWSpaper and the Schleswig Leader lighter. They print darker anyway, so I'm trying to not shade darker than 50% and to use it more sparingly. I think my George W. is getting better, don't you?

I worry that with so many readers over 60, who don't have computers or lots electronics at home, whether the surge protector analogy will even make sense.

I have this goal of being clipped out and hung on peopl'e refrigerators, I'm just afraid that I'll have to do something cute and sweet like Bill Keane's 'Family Circus' for that to happen.

I've gotten several compliments from real right-wingers on my column lately and I just know it's because I haven't been writing about politics.
