"Thursday, September 4, 2008 Allow me to reintroduce myself... Okay, we've almost reached the end of week 2 and it's time for another update. With my increased workload this semester, my posts on this blog are obviously taking on a different character - no more does every cartoon get a post and special attention - there's too much to put up. Instead, I've got to do these bulk posts, but that's cool with me if it's alright with you. We'll start with cartoons. This first one ran at the end of last week, actually. Just as I couldn't resist nabbing Hillary one last time, taking pot shots at Bill Callahan is like taking candy from Trig Palin. I immediately regret typing that. Anyway, as photog Andy Lamberson pointed out, Callahan is actually doing very well for himself. I could give a shit. Next is the cartoon that ran yesterday, Wednesday, my first of this short week (no school Mon., someone else took Tues.). I got more comments on the DN website for this cartoon than any in recent memory. As some have been wise to point out, McCain and the Republicans have in fact been very tactful in withholding the race card so far. But if Obama loses in November, I will go to my grave believing race was the most significant factor in this election. And here's the 'toon that ran today. Pretty self-explanatory, not very impressive, but I could see it becoming Part 1 in a "Double Standard" series. And now for the non-cartoon work I've had in the DN in the past week. I can only post two because the other two, which are full-color, are for some reason showing up as color-inverted images. I drew this first image to accompany a poll running in the Opinion section of the DN basically advertising the upcoming "Lincoln Calling" concert series. I decided to reproduce the cover of The Clash's "London Calling," but due to fair use standards, couldn't include the words "Lincoln Calling" in the final image and had to crop them out. As a result, the whole image of Paul Simonon smashing his guitar on stage couldn't be shown either. Quick sidenote: Did you know the cover of "London Calling" was intended as a parody of the cover of Elvis Presley's debut album? This second piece is Staff-Ed Art for an editorial which ran today about the GOP's whole "Sarah Palin's family is off-limits" schtick and the hypocrisy Mitt Romney and others have shown repeatedly in attacking Michelle Obama. I had actually planned a cartoon about that very point, so I basically just simplified it and molded it into this art. Well, that's all for this week, folks. Check in again next Thursday or Friday.
