Animation: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall


Link to cartoon on Mother Jones
In this week's editorial animation on Mother Jones, Charles Koch is the magic man in the mirror, exhorting a poor schnook to protect the rights of his future billionaire self by voting against raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires. As Koch says, "Your present self may suffer, but your future self will thank you for your forethought!"

Animation: Archbishop Dolan, Patron Saint of Discriminators


Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, who lobbied against legalizing gay marriage when he was archbishop of New York, recently counseled President Obama on the separation of church and state.
Here's the cartoon on Mother Jones
In his letter he declared that if the president supported gay marriage, it could "precipitate a national conflict between church and state of enormous proportions.” The archbishop warned that support of gay marriage will lead to discrimination against the people who discriminate against gays.


Dolan, the patron saint of discriminators, tends a curious flock.

What Makes Dogs Tick

For an article in The Christian Science Monitor this week, written by a woman new to dogs and her discovery that the overweaning interest of her pooch is in food. CSM said they would design the page around the art, so I tried a few approaches. They chose the full page treatment with the dogs in the corners.
