Freedom from 'Family Values' Neocons


I think I have a little explaining to do...
This cartoon is a rendition of Norman Rockwell's "Freedom from Want" painting depicting a happy, white Thanksgiving scene. I happily replaced many of the faces with our very own Republicans. Starting on the left (of course!) is my rendition of Jay Ramras, the patriarch is any old oil executive, then there's Princess Lisa serving the turkey, email me for who the dough boy is, the troll is Don Young, and then there's angry old Uncle Ted.
The Kool-aid seems to be ubiquitous in toeing the party line at all costs which seems to be the norm in this state, no matter how much it stinks.
The Charlie Rex anti-dumpster diving initiative would have been fun to draw up, but hell, I was on a deadline and accidentally bumped into the editor/publisher at Lu Lu's who promptly asked me, "where in the hell is my cartoon, you rat bastard?" Maybe not so harsh, but I was working under pressure. Perhaps Charlie will step on his Twinkie again soon so I can belittle him.
