Political Gamer.

July
24

As is common among pols who want to appear to be “doing something” NY just passed a law that purports to usurp parental discretion over video game violence. I think some of the stuff in video games is nuts, which is why I don’t let my kids play them and I don’t need politicians help on that one. Besides, I think the law is probably unconstitutional.

I had a tough time last night deciding on imagery. I’d be curious to know what readers of this blog think.
Below is the cartoon that I chose to run in print.

This is the one I originally drew, but decided to take the mom out at the last minute. (My self-described Monday morning quarterbacking editor feels this one works better.)

And below is a sketch that I rejected. Nice image, but I thought too much label-ism.

-UPDATE: I had to share this. After reading this post, my friend, cartoonist Clay Jones of the Freelance Star in Fredericksburg, Virginia emailed his own rough on this subject and agreed to let me post it. Unlikely that something as hilariously gross as this would ever make it into the paper. I love it. He also questioned why he was working on a cartoon about a NY issue, when he has to come up with a cartoon of his own.
That’s a good question Clay…

I had a footprint in my sketchbook left over from the previous cartoon…So being frugal (as one must be these days) I felt I should put it to good use!!
