Mitt and Gordon Gekko for The New Republic

For the current issue of The New Republic, Gordon Gekko and Mitt Romney toasting each other, Gekko with a predictable martini, and Romney with his favorite drink: chocolate milk. which, according to his wife, is his greatest vice. Could I possibly conceive of wanting a president who considers chocolate milk a vice? I'd far prefer someone who thinks getting a bigger tax break bigger than your secretary a vice. And I don't believe Mitt counts such an inequity a vice.

Occupy Cover for The Progressive

Here's the cover I did for this month's Occupy issue of The Progressive.

The Evolution of The Candidate

I'm in the middle of animating this one, but I kinda like it as a strip, too. It's up on Cartoon Movement, and here it is, bigger...

Faithful Voter and The People, Who Matter Most

Here's my latest cartoon on Mother Jones, just up. I just really like this character (his name should be Faithful Voter). I made him up for my Koch Brothers Mirror, Mirror cartoon, back in October. I'm thinking I'll use him throughout the campaign season, he's so wonderfully dopey and dupe-able, and his dog casts such a bored and jaundiced eye on the world, it just makes me laugh to animate them.


It was fun doing Ron Paul this time, too...and making Santorum pitching to the dog, given Rick's penchant for imagining dogs in all sorts of situations. But Faithful Voter's dog is unmoved.

The Hypocrisy of Newt

Right wing, conservative “family values” newly-Catholic presidential contender New Gingrich’s second of his three wives reveals (for the first time) in a TV interview this evening that he wanted an open marriage, and that the woman he is currently married to, devout Catholic Callista, with whom he was having an affair at the time, was fine with “sharing him”.

At the same time that he was petitioning his wife for an open marriage, he was Speaker of the House, carrying on a crusade against then-president Bill Clinton for having an affair.

And this is the guy who wants to tell us how we’re supposed to live our lives.

Podcast Interview with Escape from Illustration Island

Here's an interview that I did for Escape from Illustration Island with Thomas James. Mine is the last in his series of 81 interviews with illustrators and art directors, so I made it in, right under the wire. If you want to hear me yakking about all things illustration, here you go. But be warned, MAN, I have me a New Yawk accent...

SOPA

As you probably know, a number of big websites (Wikipedia, Boing Boing, Reddit, etc.) are going black today in protest over the proposed SOPA ("Stop Online Piracy Act", which would be better named "Censor The Internet For Hollywood Act") legislation here in the US. I thought it would be a good time to link to the animation I did about the SOPA legislation a few weeks back; Here it is on YouTube:
