My First Political Cartoon

Instead of a long winded rant on my political views, I decided to try my hand at a political cartoon. I haven't drawn anything in a long, long time, so I'm a bit rusty. I'm a little nervous about revealing it, but Jenna laughed so it can't be that bad. Without further ado, I give you, "If Obama interviewed for the job of President"...(drum roll)...(you may need to click on the picture to enlarge it to see his 'resume')...


[If you can't read it, his resume says, "Objective: To be President of the USA. Qualifications: 1) I'm black; 2) I'm a natural born citizen, I think; 3) I'm over age 35; 4) I'm not George Bush; 5) I'm for hope; and, 6) I'm for change.]

So should I change jobs or what? I have a couple more ideas, but it's hard to find the time as you can tell from the lateness of this post. I should be in bed.

Ha ha! Thanks for the laugh. And ya, I think you're in the wrong profession! Although, trying to get any of the media to actually post anything that isn't going to make Obama look like a superhero may be a bit of a challenge!

These are absolutely amazing. I thought you could only do Microsoft paint.

You just might have a career in this Blake once the fariness doctrine is initiated. One more qualification you could have added was, my nickname is the "messiah".

You found a way for me not to argue with you about politics! Good job. One cannot deny the talent that you posses. They are really good.

Is that a "glamour shot by Deb?" By the way, why is Dick Cheney interviewing Obama for the job of President . . . oh wait, I get it.

Actually yes, up in the corner it does say 'Glamour shots by Deb'! You know me Brandon. And I was going for Karl Rove, but Dick Cheney works too.

Blake, you did mention enlarging the cartoon to view the details on the resume-but I did not do it. I'll blame the computer and say that it did not work when I tried it.
