Quick and under attack from Leaf... blah

Sorry for the delay in cartoons. I've been having problems with the blog software. I am looking into moving this site to another ISP and switching software. This will likely mean more downtime in the future... blah.

Quick quick... The stories about how much money the CEO's for Fannie and Freddie are making out with are insane and sadly typical. Nobody gets rewarded for incompetence like these clowns.

This was an opportunity to do two caricatures. Plus there was a very funny story in the NY Times about this meeting. Here is a quote:

After all, the Libyan leader had professed his “love” for the American secretary of state. “I support my darling black African woman,” Colonel Qaddafi told the network Al Jazeera last year. “I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders.”

He continued: “Yes, Leezza, Leezza, Leezza... I love her very much.”

I had to majorly photoshop this because the faces were too big... I wanted to add some funny quotes like Condi saying, "Time to get my groove on." Or Qaddafi saying, "Nobody understands us." But, eh....

I tried sending an email to Matt Davies this week. A total fanboy email that got no response. Oh well. I still have only received one email from a major political cartoonist (Ann Telnaes, apologizing for her website being down). I'm starting to consider more serious ways of publishing a few cartoons. There are a couple syndication sites... some crappy some good. I will look into their requirements next. Also I'm forming in my head a way to send local papers an email.

Another one I drew in Tucson. The way the Republicans played ot the media on their first convention day was pretty funny. I especially liked Bush sitting at a table with bottled water... I think we need a new verb for it... maybe gustaving?
