The sad thing about that is that I would trust Daffy Duck as my Secret Service Agent.
The top one is definitely the better of the two.
There’s something very strange about the Yosemite Sam figure. It’s like his face is on the side of his head or something. And the Michelle Obama figure looks like a cross between Ella Fitzgerald and Margaret Dumont.
That is the absolute worst “drawing” of Yosemite Sam ever.
Usually there’s good reason to put these characters in an editorial cartoon, but these two don’t make much sense to me.
I think the cartoonist who did the second panel also painted my neighborhood ice cream truck!
Hahaha, they’re so wonderfully off model!
Wow, Yosemite Sam has got to stop drinking , he looks terrible.
That’s the worse Yosemite Sam I have ever seen!
That second drawing is almost completely without merit.
I’m with Grant on this. I don’t understand the reason for putting the looney tunes characters in these cartoons. I don’t care that they’re off model like the rest of you sticklers :). I just don’t get the joke. Would anyone care to explain?
The joke in the first one is that the Secret Service is staffed by Looney Tunes; the second indicates that they’ll let any old Looney Tune walk right in.
Yeah, once again, I’m not sure I get it either. I like the art, but yeah, what’s up with Yosemite Sam?
@Hulk
Right-wing editorial cartoons and “jokes” do not co-exist. See http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3044829&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 for further proof.
Same here, I don’t understand both of these comics.
Yech.
Not funny. Not well-drawn.
@ andy
respectfully beg to differ. I did right-winf editorials for 3 years in college and at least 2 of those cartoons I did had jokes.
Agreed though that the two toons above are less than stellar examples of humorous editorials.
I. Don’t. Get it.
I took a drawing class from the guy who did the second (terrible) cartoon at the University of North Florida… it was required for my BFA…
I dropped out mid term and took it with somebody who was also not very funny but could at least draw.
Yep, don’t understand the bad Yosemite Sam at all.
I believe the rule is, anytime a cartoon character sneaks in to a private function, it must be Bugs Bunny, either in drag (maybe wearing the same dress as… maybe that’s supposed to be Aretha Franklin?) or tunneling beneath the floor.
Since when are Looney Tunes inherently visual shorthand for incompetent staff and/or party crashers? (And can they really be BOTH?)
