Cartoons For A Friday
Monarchy merch, Rambo, Napoleon, jaunty hats
The above drawing of a fictitious medieval t-shirt store (don’t ask, it’s a cartoon) is from a few years ago. I just happend to run across it and thought it might be timely.
Sort of related, I went to a talk today by a Vassar professor friend, Justin Patch, all about Trump art. There is such a thing. His book is called “The Art of Populism in US Politics”. There are folks out there painting Trump as Napoleon and Rambo, recreations of Jack Daniel’s labels using Trumps name….and that’s just the tip of the iceberg on this subject. I had so many questions for Justin, one being was there Kamala art? Not really, not in the same cult-like way. It’s fascinating.
It’s been a long week, so I will leave you today with another drawing, no politics. Except what you might glean from my drawings. I do these every week, and love sharing them with you.
The man above may be wearing a jaunty hat, but probably is not particularly jaunty. While I don’t own a jaunty hat, I can relate.
Have a good Friday evening, see you tomorrow.
I stepped back into the water tonight and tried to watch the news. I did not succeed. Had to turn it off. What prompted me was I would love to know what ELSE is going on in the world. But at what cost? He was in one of my dreams the other night, and all I can remember is he wanted to go to my 8th grade prom with me. Oh My Dawg. Anyway, been thinking about a book we could do together. Just a seed of an idea came to me this morning. I will keep at it. Not wearing anything jaunty, but do have a T-shirt that reads, "I miss precedented times." And I do. I really do.
I have a couple of jaunty hats, and when I wear one, I feel like it gives me permission to behave in a jaunty way! (I am definitely NOT a naturally jaunty person!)
