Roughs, Volume 184

Most of these roughs were drawn on May 25 and 26. The first four on DeSantis and Disneyland were drawn a few days before. I was struggling one morning trying to find the right idea for the news that Disneyland was pulling a $1 billion investment out of Florida.

I almost went with this one but I wasn’t sure if people would remember the “I’m going to Disneyland/Disneyworld” campaign.

I knew I could do something better than this.

I wasn’t happy with this one.

And then this idea hit. I was happy. A couple days after I did this, a couple other cartoonists used the Nancy Sinatra song in cartoons. I’m an influencer.

This and the rest were submitted to CNN.

One subject my editor was interested in was Putin’s enemy list. I liked this one and thought I would save it for my newspaper clients, but something else happened.

This wasn’t my favorite.

I thought this was OK. I didn’t want to do a “failure to launch” cartoon as so many other cartoonists had done.

My editor suggested this subject too, but this cartoon idea wasn’t great.

I drew this rough before the drone attacks hit the Moscow suburbs, so I changed this up and gave it to my newspaper clients.

This was OK.

And this is the one CNN picked.

So which of these are your favorites?
