9/11/08 McCain and Obama came to campus and I did this cartoon for the special political supplement. Hopefully they saw it! I tried to make fun of the terrible bipartisanship.
April 22nd, 2008 NY Comic Con happened this past weekend, and the Mighty Marvel Kids panel was great. Giarrusso, Eliopoulos, Van Lente, and a couple others including their editor, Nate Cosby- whom I worked with at Marvel!- were like their own comedy show. Shout out to them right here.
April 21st, 2008 Hillary and Obama launched new negative ad campaigns. In Hillary's, she quotes Harry S. Truman, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." How fitting for her campaign.
April 19th, 2008 Mitt Romney started berating Obama harshly while also trying to get in John McCain's favor to run for vice president. Wonder what Romney's motivations for attacking Obama are...?
March 9th, 2008 Bush refused to give up the American tradition of water-boarding in order to combat terrorism. Fight terrorism with torture, that's humane...
April 15th, 2008 McCain has proposed a new approach to fixing the economy. He plans to cut a bunch of IRS rules out and let the tax-payer decide which system to use- the IRS' HUGE book of rules, or his little nice one. Good idea....?
April 7, 2008 Hillary came out with her infamous 3am phone call ad and got a lot of negative feedback. The stock market closes at 4pm so why would she be taking care of the economy at 3am? Her message was unclear and not well thought through.
April 1st, 2008 Obama began heavily campaigning in Pennsylvania, advocating change. However, for some of the blue collar workers, change doesn't mean anything good. Change, for them, could put them in an even worse situation, at least financially.
March 25th, 2008 To celebrate Easter, it's fun to play with old sayings. Plus, this could also apply to certain political situations...cough cough Hillary cough cough.
March 4th, 2008 Hillary Clinton made a whole host of public appearances, trying hard to grab some last votes before Ohio and Texas. Guess it worked...sadly.
March 2nd, 2008 Hillary Clinton had a "surprise" appearance on Saturday Night Live on March 1st. It appeared to be a completely desperate move to get last minute votes....guess it worked in Ohio and Texas...
February 27th, 2008 Barack Obama has almost enough Secret Service Agents to protect a sitting president. When asked about his safety, he said, "it's not something I think about day to day." Really?
February 27th, 2008 Howard Dean accused McCain of illegal campaign financing. However, Dean did the same thing, but had a signed letter saying he could do it. Dean said that McCain's only excuse was "he did it too!"
