Time for roughs.
I had this idea a few days before CNN chose it.
I wasn’t thrilled to draw this because I don’t really enjoy drawing monuments. But I think it worked out. I changed it up a bit.
I really liked this idea and drew and published it last Saturday.
I was expecting get a lot of shit over this one.
But it didn’t happen. I changed up the text in the first panel. I wanted to make it meaner.
I knew this was a good idea when the each of the few people who saw it at this stage liked it.
I created a new canvas when I went to draw the cartoon, then I realized I liked the rough. So I kept that and just drew on top of it, thickening lines, touching up this and that, redoing the lettering, stuff like that. I like it when that happens. I left the “nyet” alone.
I think a few of my ideas from the previous week stink. This is one of them.
I thought this was OK.
Yeah, this sucks.
He’s supposed to be dressed like that St. Louis Karen lady. I’m not sure it works.
I think this idea is just acceptable, but it’s not great. I do like the way I drew Trump.
I didn’t finish a word in that second speech balloon. I do that a lot with roughs. I think my editors at CNN have learned to read through those glitches. My editor liked this one.
Some people liked this one.
I don’t think anybody liked this one.
So I drew this last week and I really dug it. I showed it to my “protege” Alexandra and she loved it. So I felt it was good except I had just drawn a similar scene.
But after SCOTUS ruled on Trump’s taxes, I did another version of it. I almost drew this Friday night, but Donald Trump pardoned Roger Stone and I had to go with that. I still plan to draw a cartoon on this subject but I’ve decided on a different idea. Still, I like this one.
Which cartoons are your faves?
But, all and any help is greatly appreciated and it helps keep me going. Think of me like a street performer busking out tunes on a corner (I won’t play “Wonderwall.” I promise). If you like the tune, or in this case, toon, throw a buck into the tip jar. It’ll help me play another song, draw another toon, write another blog, make another video, and post another snarky post on social media. It’ll help keep me alive. You can also order a signed print for $40. And if you don’t like the PayPal option, you can snail mail it to my P.O. Box.
You can purchase a signed print of this cartoon.

Good thing you didn’t go through with this one.
