The Incredible Cash Dummy
Saturday, February 25, 2012
I had the idea to summarize Romney’s “stiffness” with a reference to the dummies used in crash tests for automobiles. It seemed appropriate, given that the Michigan primary fast approaches, and could be a make-or-break moment for the candidate: He grew up in the state, but his stronghold there has been weakened by abysmal debate performances and his own calls to “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt“…
Butthole Surfer

The idea for this cartoon dates back to Santorum’s victory in the Iowa caucus, early last month. I thought it was funny enough at the time, but shelved it because I wasn’t sure Santorum’d manage to stick around for long afterwards. Fortunes can change rather quickly in the primary process, and I’ve had more than one cartoon’s relevance weakened, this cycle, by starting it while a candidate remained in the race, only to have him or her drop out hours before I finished…

Those who follow my Twitter feed may have noticed me making a comparison between Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Patrick Bateman a few weeks ago. I got the idea after seeing this infamous photograph of Romney and his cohorts at Bain Capital…
Mitt Robbery
Saturday, January 21, 2012

I had a lot of fun with the details in this one. Longtime readers with good eyes may recognize the crystal ball (or palantir, for you Tolkien enthusiasts) from this cartoon in the upper-lefthand corner. The flat Earth globe in the corner opposite could be taken to relate to Thomas Friedman’s “World is Flat” economic ideology…

Gingrich really owes his sudden popularity mainly to just how inept his competition is…

I knew if I gave it time, I’d eventually come up with a cartoon on Herman Cain that was funny. What I didn’t count on was the sexual harassment scandal remaining relevant this week, so now I find myself wondering how much longer it’s going to last…
The Texacutioner
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Those who saw the debate may have noticed that the biggest applause line of the night was Brian Williams’ pointing out the fact that Rick Perry, the current leader for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2012, has executed 234 people during his term as the Governor of Texas–”More than any other governor in modern memory”…
Trump Card
Saturday, April 23, 2011
As I mentioned in the previous update, I was trying to come up with something on Donald Trump, who, laughably, is among the top-polling possible candidates for President as rated by Republicans…
