Editorial Cartoon: Osama Dead

Can anyone tell me what joke was repeated over and over on Sunday night?  If you said “Donald Trump is demanding to see Bin Laden’s Death Certificate” you would be right.  Go see for yourself.   

In fact, the first time I saw the joke, I thought it would make a cute editorial cartoon.  By the 20th time I saw it, I thought it was a little overdone.  I guess that didn’t stop these editorial cartoonists. 

The basis of the joke (for the uninformed) is that Donald Trump is toying with running for President.  So his first public act of late has been to join the birthers in their efforts to say that President Barack Obama wasn’t actually born in Hawaii so he shouldn’t have been eligible to be President.  Trump had been calling for Obama’s Birth Certificate.  Of course when Obama did share it, Trump just took credit for being able to put that rumor to rest and allow the country to move on.  Ever the opportunist.

So I thought I would take the joke (which you see in panel one) and go a slightly different route for the punchline.  Did I use an outdated reference with the title “Weekend at Donalds”???

Editorial Cartoon: Obama and Clinton

I know I don’t post editorial cartoons typically on Friday but this was so timely (thanks Mike) that I couldn’t pass it up before it became old news or someone else shamelessly stole my idea.

So it seem President Obama has been getting some slack for passing off his press briefings to the Clintons.  Last week it was Bill when discussing the reasons he negotiated the tax cut deal with the Republicans.  And this week he passed off questions on Afghanistan to Hillary.

I’m all for delegation but he seems to be running out of Clinton options.

Editorial Cartoon: Obama isn’t Muslim

I rarely have a cartoon on the back burner but this one I originally drew two weeks ago when a poll was released that now 18% of Americans believe that President Barack Obama is Muslim versus his self-professed Christianity. 

The absurdity of this pushed me to draw the above as it is like saying anyone that is circumcised is Jewish. 

(My wife got the joke immediately but then wondered if some might take offense as if I was implying that Jewish men may not be endowed.  I told her I hadn’t heard that stereotype and besides aren’t there many Jewish men in porn including  including Seymour Butts and Ron Jeremy?)

Bearman Cartoon: Where’s George

Noel Curry of DJ Bogtrotter fame had a challenge to cartoonists to do a cartoon without dialogue.  He designated May 14 as Dialogue Free Comic Day.  This is what I originally planned to post as he said dialogue on signs, etc was OK.  But I came up with one that may be a little less obvious but fits the entire bill that I will post on Friday.  So that is TWO…count em TWO Dialogue Free Comics for your enjoyment.
