With the start of the new Congress in Washington DC I was inspired to make this cartoon. I guess I have been around long enough to remember all of these “changes” in Washington.

The Economist goes to press every week on a Wednesday. Which means for 33 years I have been at my drawing board trying to conjure up cartoons for the upcoming edition for the magazine. Fortunately for me, US General Election are always held on Tuesdays which means by Wednesday the results are in(except for that crazy 2000 election).

The US Election results are closely watched around the world and thus make great fodder for cartoons. Above is this week’s rendition. I think the conflict between these two protagonists will likely supply ample material for cartoonists and satirists in the months ahead.

Here’s this weeks cartoon for The Economist. I wounder if this will be the last cartoon that I draw of the nutty/dangerous leader of North Korea.

Here’s this week’s cartoon from The Economist. I had terrific fun drawing this one… I hope to resurrect this unlikely Party animal again in the future.

I have been rather remiss in keeping my blog up to date… so I enclose a couple of recent cartoons that I hope you enjoy.

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.
