I’m posting this as my erstwhile friend and cartoonist-in-arms, Matt Bors, called me Saturday night and asked if I could scribble a caricature of myself for his cartoon. He also fearlessly hit up our mutual friends Ted Rall, Jack Ohman and Joel Pett and managed to draw a cartoon about the object of cartoonists’ most vociferous grumbling and hand-wringing. I thought it was a good idea, and felt the cartoon came out well, despite my obvious attempt to sabotage it.

I came up with this idea after reading the breathless and amusing comments from this blog’s loyal right-wing peanut gallery in response to my previous cartoon.

I’m kind of thinking this road is more Cormac McCarthy than Jack Kerouac. While I am posting a cartoon on our war strategy in Afghanistan that I did last night, I can’t help but see the irony in the surprise awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama this morning. I must confess I was puzzled. He may one day deserve such an honor, if he, y’know, secures some peace somewhere.
I’ll post my cartoon on that subject just as soon as I can get it down on paper…

I confess this cartoon is a tad formulaic in its presentation, but I couldn’t for the life of me think of a better way to present my point. I’m sure I could have metaphored up or done something with labeled animals or something, but not on a Monday at 4:45PM.
