Burn The Witch!

A Rabid Right-Wing Comic Strip "Day By Day" by Chris Muir

Those clever Wing-Nut bloggers have saved America once again. They apparently have outted a notorious commie journalist working for Reuters in Cuba. I have seen these attacks on Reuters before. I suspect this must be some effort to cast doubt on the news provided by a "furrin" news service. You just can't trust anything not coming from der Idiot-Führer's Homeland News Bureau & Comedy Department.

Somehow from deep in a dank bunker in Idaho, some America-Firster discovered that Marc Frank, Reuters Cuba correspondent, used to write for the Communist Party USA's People's Daily World (now The People's Weekly World) back in the 1980's. Since Marc has written a couple of books and not made a secret of his past affiliation with the CPUSA, I'm not sure why this revelation warrants such chickenhawk frenzy but there it is none the less. Always vigilant, I guess, protecting the shores of America from threats of free thought and association--things they are so quick to accuse communist and socialist regimes of stifling. The implication here is that Mr. Frank's possible political views taint his news reporting. Now they know how we all feel about Faux News...

A Completely Made Up, Fantastical Biography of George David Darrow (1861-1925)

Born in the spring of 1861 in a modest East Anglian village on the wooded edges of Bury St. Edmunds, George David Darrow was the son of a gardener and a washerwoman. A solitary child, Darrow showed early signs of a vivid inner world, sketching woodland creatures and imagined spirits on sheets of whatever scrap paper he could find, much of which smelled of fish or meat that the paper had once wrapped. His youth was shaped by the rhythms of rural life and long hours exploring hedgerows, brooks, and ancient groves. Possessed of a quiet, observant nature and an innate gift for drawing, Darrow taught himself the principles of line and light by sketching the creatures and foliage around him. His Father, Henry Darrow, disapproved of his son’s obsession with woodlarking and hoped that his son would take up a respectable trade. As a young teenager, George was apprenticed to a local stone mason, but his tenure didn’t last the summer. George was found to be carving mysterious symbols into the lim...

Illustration Friday "Fat"

I did this one with colored pencil but wasn't real happy with it. I put a Photoshop filter on to liven it up some. I'll probably do it again so I can get it right.

A Mention In The Independent

Too bad I stumbled upon an email from The Independent's Tehran correspondent, Angus McDowall too late. The email ended up in my Yahoo email which I only use as a spam trap. An article was published today about the Iranian public's ho-hum reaction to the "Holocaust" cartoon exhibition. I was pleased to see that I was treated fairly. "The cartoons included US, European, Brazilian, Korean and Chinese entries. However, the US cartoonist David Baldinger said that his drawing "in no way ridiculed the Holocaust". It is best to let people determine what is propaganda and what is not. Most of the time intelligent people know the difference. Sane people, I would think, don't place value on government statements refuting the Jewish Holocaust's historical fact. I doubt Iranian president Ahmadinejad even believes his statements. He is engaging in what I would call "political mooning". A bare ass sticking in the world's face gets a lot of atten...
