Heavy lean toward NSA/Obama toons for me. Among these there are plenty of simple text ones and complex. You do both well certainly. Some I love more for the pure hilarity and others for the critical points they make. Anyway…
Man I could gush about my favs so much…but one?! OK. For funniest and wittiest idea and execution:
Data Hoarders 8-7
I liked the 11-7 cartoon with the quote about Obama not realizing he’d be good at killing people and with the illustration of his daughter running up to him, calling “Daddy.”
Thanks, guys! Off to the races.
My nomination:
“How I Kept Worrying and Learned to Love Drones” (11/01/2013)
Thank you, I enjoyed doing that cartoon, but this book only allows me to include syndicated editorial cartoons.
There is still very little market for comics journalism, especially since cartoon movement stopped commissioning it in Holland.
Fortunately, I am about to begin an endeavor that will allow people to fund such things directly if they are so inclined.
If it’s not to late to do so, I’d like you to submit the mock “Obamacare website” cartoon. The one where you predicted the problems pre-rollout.
I know this is a done deal, but the one that really got me awhile back was the one with the prisoners arguing about whether to use acquired weapons to break out of their prison, where the last panel was a chimney.
