David Letterman admitted this week to having at least one affair with a staffer and at least one other has come out. His production company is known as Worldwide Pants. As the title of this editorial cartoon says “Worldwide Pants INDEED”.

Christopher Smitherman is a former Cincinnati City Council Member and the current President of the local NAACP. As a public figure (like many others) there are many times that I agree with him and times that I don’t. But at least I tend to understand what he is saying until I find a recent press release from the NAACP
Huh???? I don’t get it. It starts talking about the budget but then veers off into talking about the Wizard of Oz.
Here is just part of it:
Smitherman says, “Will Mayor Mallory find his ruby slippers click them 3 times and show up at the finance meeting today?”
The Cincinnati NAACP is frustrated that a Scarecrow, a Tinman, and a Cowardly Lion have not been able to find the financial yellow brick road. The Cincinnati NAACP believes that city workers who are laid off deserve severance packages based on their years of service. “The only hope that City Council has in exercising financial responsibility is in the leadership of Toto. This means Cincinnati is in big trouble when I am looking for Toto to lead us out of this financial mess. The Cincinnati NAACP is very concerned that 600 city employees could loose their jobs over the next 12 months and there seems to be no leadership at City Hall for these families. The City Manager will ask the Wizard of Oz today how he can find $125 million to fund the Cincinnati Pension by January 2010? He will ask the Wizard of Oz how he can find $28 million in 5 months for 2009? Last but not least he will ask the Wizard of Oz how he can find $40+ million for the 2010 deficit?” Smitherman says.
Was this a reference to something that someone on Council brought up? Who is the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion or Toto? I just didn’t get it…but a couple of lines were just classic enough to make the following cartoon.

Just another “only in Cincinnati” event. Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding is looking at all angles to attack aggressive panhandling in the city (which I applaud). However his latest proposed tactic (read about it here and here) would actually charge a commercial tax to the homeless who panhandle.
Then again, isn’t the government already an aggressive pandhandler???

Did a new cartoon entry for Comic Strip Improv and this time the topic was ‘Evil Twin”. Will post it later but for now you can see it at their site. If you want, go to the home page and login with your openid if you want to vote. Personally I think they should open it up to anyone to vote whether they sign in or not b/c they aren’t getting many voters and I think it is ultimately hurting their number of entries.
UPDATE!!!! Here is the pic.
It must be tough being an Elvis Impersonator these days. People who were alive when Elvis was are becoming older and now with the untimely death of Michael Jackson, you will have all his impersonators cashing in. Them along with people hawking t-shirts and other unlicensed crap (as well as the occassional editorial cartoonist taking advantage of the situation).
So my three predictions:
1. Michael Jackson Impersonators will be getting alot of work.
2. Debbie Rowe will come out and say Michael is NOT the biological father of his children in her attempt to get custody (or at least more money)
3. Someone will link prediction 2 with Billy Jean (ie. The kids not my son) in either song or late night joke form.

So the Iranian High Pooba has announced that there will be “limited” recount of the votes. What exactly does that mean? Well Jeff Jena thinks he has some answers. Jeff is not only a funny working comedian but a sometimes right-wing conspiracy purveyor and asked me to collaborate with one of my editorial cartoons on an article he was doing for Big Hollywood.
Big Hollywood is a site created by Andrew Breitbart, a former Drudge Report editor. The site is a collaboration of right leaning people in Hollywood and the issues they face.
As I typically do with guest cartoons that I draw, here is the link to check out the article. In a few days, I’ll post it here as well.

Several days ago, Larry Fire had an interesting post about Canadien photographer Dina Goldstein’s recent project on Fallen Princesses. Here is one of them…check them all out on her site:
So not to leave well enough alone, I thought there were some princesses she missed, including Princess Fiona from Shrek. Maybe Lord Farquad did get some attention before Fiona married Shrek. For my overseas friends, Maury is a reference to talk show host Maury Povich who 9 times out of 10 is doing a show on people trying to prove or disprove the paternity of a baby.

There is a new site out there called Comic Strip Improv. Essentially each week they put up a topic and ask people (no matter their drawing ability) to do a cartoon based on the topic.
This weeks topic was Scary Girlfriend. Here is my entry but go and check out all of them and vote starting tomorrow. There are some really good ones.

Thanks to George Ford at Addanac City comic for supplying the idea behind this editorial cartoon. I was just thinking of what to do around the swine flu when he emailed me with this idea. Thankfully he didn’t have the time to (pink) flesh it out so I got to.
I may post another idea I had later in the week (or I might not).
It’s interesting when you get a huge spike in hits to find out the cause. Fellow blogger Robert at Fundamental Jelly always is talking about how an innocent mention of gall bladder in one of his posts has turned his site into the leading purveyor of news on the medical condition.
Do I get the people looking for medical advice…no, I get the porn addicts. A few weeks ago I posted a story about Joe Shuster, the creator of Superman, falling on hard times. In order to make ends meet, he started drawing racy, fetish cartoons for a magazine called NIGHTS OF HORROR.
Well it seems like the phrase “Nights of Horror” is very popular search term the past two days and they all seem to want to check it out. So all you pervs…here again is the link to the site.
