Revised Cartoon

UPDATE AUG 7, 2006
As I expected, the PWW didn't run the cartoon. Showing Israeli insignia on the aircraft is too truthful.

There was some question by my editors about who the central character was supposed to be. I thought it was obvious due to my play on the Jesus quote "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." It was also questioned about the "generic" use of the Star Of David on the jets. Sorry, but that is the correct insignia. Is that my fault? I will not hide the truth for anyone. I am not taking sides here. If Hizbollah had aircraft, I would have included them as well. While I believe that the Israeli assault on Lebanon is disgusting, I also am not a supporter of Hizbollah. Terrorism and attacks on innocent civilians are unacceptable by anyone.

Hello there. Found your blog on the Autblogs site. Your cartoons are decidedly excellent. I particularly like the mad highway one.

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.

Soviet political cartoonist Yefimov dies at 108

REUTERS Yefimov 'survived not because of Stalin's generosity of soul, but because his talents as a cartoonist' Wed Oct 1, 4:38 PM ET MOSCOW - Celebrated political cartoonist Boris Yefimov, who drew brutally satirical images of the Soviet Union's foes in the service of Josef Stalin, died Wednesday. 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. Instead, Yefimov was sent after the war to the Nuremburg trials to draw the Nazis as they faced justice. Yefimov also turned his pen against the United States. His Cold War drawings po...
