Moderate Man - Episode 1
It’s time for a little break from election stuff.
Here’s a sketch of a cartoon I did about the Ed Board’s failure to take a stand on the sleazy, racist, fearmongering, anti-immigrant mailer.
I never got around to inking and lettering it, so it’s still pretty rough. You’re going to get either a sketch or nothing at this point, though, because I’m out of time. I guess I can add this to the long list of projects which I have brought to 85% completion….
Anyways, I hope it puts a smile on your face.
Cartoon of James Lawrence as Moderate Man and Steve Minarik as Jabba the Hut

Awesome. I almost peed when I read this, I laughed so hard. How many superpowers do you have, anyway???
tom tomorrow is getting some competition
Thanks - it’s a ton of work… so it’s probably going to be a while before episode 2….
A buddy pointed out that the problem with this one is that nobody knows Manarik the Hut by sight… so for those of you who need an explanation:
Jabba: Steve Minarik
floating head: Maggie Brooks
Moderate Man: James Lawrence (the Editorial Page editor at the D&C)
Awesome drawing - and cartoon -
I really enjoyed it.
Itchy, this is wonderful! Thanks for the visual of Minarik the Hut. I love the way his double-chins just blend into the rest of the layered flab. The concept is great. I also love the little Maggie heart, next time can she be in Harem garb?
Thanks! I was going to go with Leia-in-metal-bikini for Brooks, but there are certain personal issues regarding that image. I couldn’t do it.
HA!
