Who at DU can draw a cartoon for us? (Brilliant idea by "blm")...
He (or she) suggested an editorial cartoon featuring Cindy Sheehan as the guy in Tiananmen Square...Four tanks, so you could put bushyboy in the front one, then cheney, then rumdumb, then condileast...

I bet it would make a good T-shirt to raise some money for the Peace House people in Crawford as well.

Who's going to step up on this one? I can't draw, so I can't do it.

3. Not bad at all, but I think a cartoon would work better.

4. I could give it a go.
But we might have to lose a few tanks.

The image of Cindy would be so small, it wouldn't read well that it is her unless we enlarged the image a bit.

Actually, it would probably look funnier if they're all in a single tank. Kinda like Keystone Cops. :)

5. Oh yeah!
And does anyone have a nice pull body shot of her from Crawford? Possibly wearing the hat that's made her so recognizable (To me, anywayz..)

6. Hey, you're the artist; do what you think works best.
Let's see what you got. I actually like the single-tank idea.

8. I would but I don't have alot of time to do it
It would be a very provoking image though.

9. Actually, I think Bush would be hiding in the rear.
The first tanks would be members of the Reich-wing media - Hannity, Limpballs and all the folks trashing the mother of a slain soldier. Bush would be hiding behind the tanks, giggling maniacally.

11. Okey Dokey, here's my political cartoon idea.
It's probably a bit over rendered but I think it came out pretty good. I saw the signed hat she's been wearing in the last few photos of her and thought it might be recognizable enough by now. Also, she has a photo of her son in her right hand.



I thought I'd get a litle feedback before I added anymore cronies to the tank or did anymore touch ups. :)

Someone just e-mailed me your cartoon and I had to come to the thread to see it. What an incredible job you did of bringing blm's insightful idea to life!

It is so professional. Very impressive, from concept through the finished cartoon. What incredible talent we have at DU!
