There goes those kooky SEIU folks again!

Below is the pencil drawing.

Thanks to J.R. Griggs for this gag. Culotta and I had kicked this idea around but couldn’t get the wording right. J.R. nailed it! Thanks, J.R.!

Novermer 10, 2009 – Healthcare rammed through

Captain Nancy’s ignore’s the people’s voice and the 9/12 – Tea Party efforts and rams the mess through.

This was one of three cartoons that were going to appear Friday until the Fort Hood tragedy hit the news Thursday night. I pencilled and inked this last Thursday with Photoshop colors added Monday night.

In remembrance.

Photos with the drawn figure. All digitally done.

November 3, 2009 – Obama’s Major Crop Accomplishment Since the Election
Nov 4th, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

2009-1103-crop-chris

The greatest result Obama has accomplished while President.

Inked on the pencils. Had a tough time deciding how much ‘conservative’ should take up flower area. I condiered loading the area with farm equipment and then decided to simplify.

October 27, 2009 – Golf Balls
Oct 27th, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

There had been much talk of Obama’s golf game. So I comboed that with Obama’s accomplishments.

Artistically I had envisioned something different. This was all created in the computer and I just couldn’t get the depth quite right. I should have drawn this on paper first.

October 23, 2009 – Executive Pay Cut

So Washington talks of roping in executive pay. So executives will play the usual games by shifting positions to miss the purse string ties.

I had a fellow in mind as the janitor. I was working where he was a few months ago. That really helped get the distinctive look of the janitor vs. the executives.

October 20, 2009 – Ivory Tower
Oct 22nd, 2009 by Rob Smith, Jr.

2009-1020-ivorytower-chris

All this chatter from one side of how the other is the party of “No’ when that same “No” party doesn’t even have a seat at the table to help guide the path to passage. Yet the media continues the myth.

I penciled and inked this on the same board, so no pencils again. However, the inked version is very, very plain. The digital manipulation got it to a point where the towers appear to be in some misty, cloudy realm.

October 16, 2009 – Obama’s Banking Trobles

Ken Culotta wrote this.

This sums up Obama’s run in office at this time. He has a Nobel Prize to show for his actions.

I penciled and inked this on paper. I inked right on the pencils, so the pencils were erased.

October 6, 2009 – Obama’s Unreadable Presriptons

2009-1006-healthcare-chris

I have yet to speak to a doctor who is in favor of any part of the idea of reform. I have only spoken to a few. Especially going through recent medical procedures. But it says a lot that those on the front lines are very concerned and seemingly scared.

This was still another all digital production. Below is the digital sketch.
