Halloween Cartoon Character: Mel the Mummy



Meet Mel, He is a Mummy from the “Death Valley”. He is a character that I had made a while ago and one of the leading roles in a comic strip I’m still thinking about doing called “Death Warmed Over”. During the time that I have been thinking about the strip he has gotten a few modeling gigs through his agent “Count kid-u-la”. The Un-dead are a pretty tight group as it turns out. Anyway, I let him know that given the length of time it has taken me to determine if he will score a staring roll in my comic strip, I would do him a solid and throw up some of his products on the Blog. He let me know that it would be fine for now but I’d better give him an answer by the fall next year because he is being considered for an animation deal and if I didn’t get my butt in gear he would have to take it, if offered. The Un-dead are also pretty serious about their careers as well. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoons: Will the real Obama please stand up



I did this cartoon as a result of a conversation I was having with someone. We were discussing the loss of the Olympics in the U.S.A. and why the President might have made the journey as he probably already knew that the U.S.A. was out of the running or maybe it wasn’t clear at that point. Who knows? Anyway, during this discussion, the U.N. speech also came up. The topic was the difference in the speeches. On one hand you had a President who was in some instances talking less than positive tone about the U.S.A. and other countries as well in some attempt to get some unity I’m sure. Then a week or two later you have the sales pitch for the Olympics where the U.S.A. and more specifically Chicago was the cat’s meow. It was probably the short time between the two speeches but it struck me as nothing more than pandering to whatever audience happened to be there. Anyway, that’s where this cartoon came from. Enjoy and have a great day.

Harry Reid Cartoons: Nuclear Options and Nobel Prizes



This cartoon came to life when I heard that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. I thought that was very interesting given that he has talked about what he would like to do and started laying groundwork for those plans but none of it is complete yet and no one really knows if it will lead to a significant enough result to warrant the “Nobel Peace Prize” or at least what I used to think a “Nobel Peace Prize” was all about. Anyway, that, combined with all the talk about using the “nuclear option” on Healthcare Reform led to the creation of this cartoon. Let me say this to be fair, I have not seen or heard Mr. Reid use the term “Nuclear Option”, I believe he called it “Reconciliation option” which both parties have spun into the “Nuclear Option” term when it is politically convenient for them to do so probably because it sounds so scary. It just works better in this cartoon so I figure if they can use it for their political ends, then I will use it for my humor ends. Enjoy and have a great day!
