State of the Union

My favorite editorial cartoons are those that combine two current events.  Here I mixed Obama's triumphant State of the Union message last night with the image of the darling Haiti boy who was pulled from the rubble after a week. 

HAUNTING ME: Was it a mistake to use a 10 day old image? Have people forgotten? Do I watch way more 24 hr news than the average person and not everybody saw this boy?

Love your comments! Karyl

24 HR. News Monster

Hardest thing about doing current events cartoons is the events become dated right after you finish the drawing.  For instance: I had to change the titles on the "food" this AM. Haiti was always on the top - being the first story we will abandon.  The second food I had was JUICY BOOK O POLITICAL GOSSIP.  The third was LOVE-CHILD DNA. And the fourth was TIGER SPOTTED.  I better post this before another news story along.
Thanks for your comments!

Hi friends,
Thought I'd take another occasional crack at topical subjects, so here's the first one I've done in a year!
