A Spot Drawing I'm Happy With

I did this spot for the upcoming issue of the People's Weekly World. It is about the looming disaster when millions of people with the moronic Bush Medicare Part D prescription plan find themselves without any coverage once their initial coverage amount is spent on medications. The "donut hole" is the gap between where coverage stops and then picks up again after the individual pays out of pocket thousands of dollars to reach the "catastrophic coverage" level. It is projected that millions will reach this point in September 2006. Won't that be a pickle for Republicans up for re-election. I guess they forgot that it is mostly the elderly who vote. As soon as the article is published, I will post a link.

He was 108. Yefimov's death was given wide coverage on Russian state television. No cause was given. His cartoons spanned virtually the entire history of the communist state, from shortly after the 1917 revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Among his most memorable drawings was one showing a wretched-looking Hitler, who is said to have ordered Yefimov shot if the Nazis captured Moscow in World War II.
