2024 Libertarian Convention

I wasn’t thinking about attending the 2024 Libertarian Convention until one of my readers asked me after I posted about attending the two big political conventions. Then I looked into it and holy crap! It was the very next week and in Washington, DC, just an hour from me. So I applied for press credentials and I got them.

I drew four cartoons during the convention. Two were like roughs but with a bit more detail and color and the other two are official cartoons sent out to my clients.

I drew this during RFK Jr’s speech.

And this was drawn in the convention room where Trump gave his speech. After getting through the Secret Service, I had to wait about four hours before his speech, so I had time to draw a cartoon. Libertarians were planning to make noise during his speech with squeaky rubber chickens and kazoos, but the Secret Service took them away…at least most of them.

I had a blast this weekend and I love meeting people from around the country, even those I disagree with, like Libertarians. I’m looking forward to the Republican and Democratic conventions this summer even though I may not actually get inside the venues. I’m still working on it.

I’ll see you in Milwaukee in July and Chicago in August.

Creative note: I drew this at Soho Tea & Coffee on P Street in Washington, DC. It’s my favorite coffee shop in the city although they don’t bring your order to your table, even if you tip. This blog was written on an Amtrak train in the dining car that has a bathroom that’s going to give me nightmares.

Music Note: I listened to Cake.
