Here’s this week’s cartoon for The Economist. I enjoyed playing with the caricatures, though my Karzai still needs work.

Tricky drawing a cartoon in advance of a monumental election… for a weekly publication… that will not be overtaken by events when the election results are in… So, here is my best effort for The Economist this week.

Here are 2 fun pieces to share. Both with boxing themes! The first above is a book cover for an upcoming publication about the controversial 2008 Senate race in Minnesota between Al Franken and Norman Coleman. The book is due out this year titled “Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Senate”.

This is a drawing I did for the annual Washington Press Club Foundation annual banquet and fundraiser.

I will be the guest speaker at the annual benefit fundraiser for “At Jacob’s Well” a very worthy charity dedicated to aiding the homeless community in Baltimore.  Here are the details:

When: Saturday, May 8, 2PM
Where: Church of the Redeemer, 5603 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD
Details: $20. Admission includes Wine and Hors d’oeuvres. Silent auction to benefit the charity

Also, on Monday May 3, I will be a guest Washington’s NPR showcase station , WAMU (www.wamu.org,  88.5 FM), on the Kojo Nnamdi show. I will be on the 1-2PM slot as part of a discussion on Satire and Culture. Please tune in!
