So, I decided to finish off this sketch. You’ll notice that I made the Zimmerman character look more like the actual guy instead of a sort of generic fat guy like in the sketch.

Blown Covers Design Competion: My entry for the Trayvon Martin theme
This is my entry for this week’s Blown Cover design competition. The contest asks for a sketched design idea for a New Yorker cover using that week’s theme. The theme was Trayvon Martin. Mine didn’t win, but I thought I’d share it anyway.
Edit: The finished version is here.
Editorial Cartoon: Eggs
If this image doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable, it isn’t doing its job.
Political Cartoon: Bronies for Obama
Obama seeks support from underrepresented minority groups.
Political Cartoon: Taxes
Donkey: Oh, come on. He needs the money.
Elephant: Why? He’ll just go out and waste it on socialist public institutions and free birth control for co-eds.
I Need a Caption for This
This image needs a caption, but I haven’t thought of anything much. Here’s what I’ve got:
“But, honey, he’s a Nigerian prince and he needed my help.”
“You never call, you never write, you never email, you never tweet, you never PM, IM, or text, and you never like anything I post on your Facebook page!”
“Your father and I have decided that you need to take a second job to support us.”
“I wanted to adopt a dog, but they said I was too old to become a parent.”
What do you think? Can you think of anything better? Suggestions are welcome!
