Editorial Cartoons (part 2)

It has been pointed out to be that I should be calling these ‘editorial cartoons’ rather than ‘political cartoons’ as they are not all political in nature. I suppose that’s splitting hairs a little, but I kinda like editorial rather than political.

Our little town theatre has gone through changes again. Oh, the drama.

I hate this time of year. The flu shot always raises big questions for me.

This is actually a comic I did a year ago, but if the fights over wind energy are still around, then this should be too. (PS, I should be reprimanded for linking to this article)

This is really a very small news item, if it’s even a news item at all, but I do love how politicians seem to say one thing while doing something completely opposite.

Yeah, I know

Political Cartoons

I’ve always been interested in political cartoons. I think in my case it comes from reading or hearing about something extraordinary, and not knowing exactly what to do about it. Well, here is my new coping mechanism. While I’m sure I won’t actually be affecting whatever the particular situation happens to be, I will, at the very least, be able to vent a little. Hopefully I’ll be able to give someone else a chance to think about it too.

Mayor Mustache

Here’s an image I created to help a movement started by the owner of Chesterfields Cafe to convince our newly elected mayor to join our Movember group.

Mayor Mustache 2

After several friends posted the image on the mayor’s facebook page, and he consented, I changed it in recognition.

Bad decisions in a Halloween costume prompted this image.

It’s amazing that in this era of air travel something like this could go on.

Well there you go. As more come along I’ll post them under a Political Cartoon category. Enjoy!
