Some cartoons for you to chew on

Is School Consolidation the way to go?

Well, Christmas is over, and we're back up and running at the Politicker. Here's today's cartoon for PolitickerME, where their School Consolidation Plan is just a big, stinkin' mess!

And here's the sketch:

Maine mayor wants a 51st state...in New England!!!

Today's cartoon for PolitickerME is based on a great story out of Maine. I won't ruin it for you. Here's the story:

Mayor calls for secession from Maine
Portland Press Herald

Here's the sketch. Notice that I had drawn in some other framed items, like the Confer ate flag. I took them out for two reasons. One, I didn't want people to think I was calling Soule a racist. And second, I'm sort-of digging how the cartoons look on the web with only a white background. Maybe less is more :)

Maybe Lemoine can fix social security too

What are these guys screaming about? Why, it's my latest Maine cartoon, located only at PolitickerME.com.

So go check it out!

Here's the sketch:

Baldacci's Monster

Consolidation is a big issue in Maine. Governor Baldacci wants to take the 296 existing school districts and reduce them down to...26. Quite a task for someone elected with 38% of the vote.

And 296 school districts? Man, I thought New Jersey was bad!

Here's the sketch:

Senator Cruella

Just thought you guys might like to check out my first cartoon for PolitickerME, sister site of PolitickerNJ, where my cartoons already appear weekly. So I hope you enjoy it, even if you have no interest at all in Maine politics. Pass it to a friend that lives up there :)
