Roughing It, Volume Ten

Hey, kids. I don’t have that many roughs to share with you today. These are from ideas pitched to CNN last week, and I eventually created three cartoons from that batch. That only left five to share with you. Here we go.

I was riffing with the “chosen one.” I thought this was just OK. I forgot to finish his tie.

I liked where this one was going. I had a few other ideas on how to tweak it. I almost drew it but other issues kept popping up. It never ends.

I liked this one too but there are just so many shots I can take on one issue.

Since the newsletter was going to be published during the G7 Summit, I thought this might fit even though I wasn’t in love with it.

I almost drew this one, but it didn’t really light me up. I do like sharing it in this form because it shows you just how rough these things can get. Yeah, that’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders talking to Sean Spicer.

Which of these is your favorite?
