Ted Stevens caricature
I drew the above cartoon for this week’s issue of The Economist to accompany the magazine’s weekly column dedicated to American issues titled “Lexington”. The subject is long-time Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens who has gotten himself into a little legal mess with allegations of financial/ethical wrongdoing.
Stevens has a great face for drawing. His age (84 years) has helped accentuate his sallow cheeks and scowling brow. You can see below some of my early sketches of the embattled Senator.

Our site has taken a somewhat more sympathetic view of the good Senator, regarding his troubles as more symptomatic of the party as a whole. But we had no choice but to put it in actual words. Thanks for adding your voice.
