Ah, old friend
That’s it. Two more blogging days until the election, and I’m out of juice — have a recycled classic!
Yeah, I’ve just been browsing all my old Obama P’shops. Even though I never really nailed him, it occurs to me what a very easy target he was, after all. Remember the handwringing about how to caricature our first black president without Going There? Turns out, if it weren’t for his excellent tan, he really looks more like a nerdy white guy.
It’s dawning on me that I might have to draw Romney for a few years. I can’t draw Romney! I can’t! I’m not good with likenesses, and he doesn’t have much ‘hook’ to hang them on.
It’ll be four to eight years of Guy Smiley P’shops, I warn you now!

I gotta say, Guy Smiley should be just about right, just brush a little “Just for Men, Touch of Grey” through his hair.

You can’t nail obama because he’s an ever morphing slimy nightmare.
And considering your last Ryan piece, I’m thinking you have it in you to do up Romney and Co. Something nice. Something that includes a butcher knife.
God Bless us all for the next four days!

I’ve always liked that pic, but seriously, anything that got that creepy Obama / Jarret mash-up of the top of the page is fine with me.
Maybe the nightmares will subside….
Four days.

I have decided to start my election-night drinking tonight. There are two reasons:
First, we in the states are doing (not the)equinox time change tonight and it always confuses me for a couple days.
Second, I am still of the belief that Obama may just survive the election and take a second term. To paraphrase H.L. Menken, ” No one ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American public”.
Should that be the case I want to be so hungover on Wednesday morning that an Obama victory is way down on the list of things making me feel bad. Given my current level of training, that is going to take a couple of days of steady drinking

Romney has a huge head and a huge chin, that’s a start. Gonna be plenty of material from him, I expect.
