This week’s word is ‘Crash’. Originally the Glenn Beck cartoon was going to be about the -crashing- Dixie Chicks and then this 7,000 Iraqi thing came up.

It Takes a Village, What's New? | 2 Comments »

This week’s word is sprout. Took a bit of thinking to fit it in. As it turns out it fits well with the idea of body snatchers and the pods from the story.

The word this week is ‘Red’. It came to mind that Mrs. Clinton’s gaffs this past week would make a good CD and whatelse could an album of her’s be but - ‘Red’!?!

The ‘Illustration Friday’ “word” of the week is ’super hero’. I came upon an unfortunate incident in the news involving Isaiah Washington and referring to a fellow actor on the set of a current T.V. show he stars in by a certain word. The word doesn’t matter. The incident doesn’t matter. Bottom line: Washington was […]

The “word” this week is ’80s’. Sooo, kicking this around with Rob Labby back at ‘Julie’s Waterfront’ restaurant (Entry of Jan. 12th). We put this together. What was Paris thinking back then. I can’t believe she was dreaming of what she is today - Generally a bum.

This week’s ‘Illustration Friday’ word is Mask. Came up with the gag of the pun of the word ‘course’. I wasn’t sure how to best illustrate it. Needing to fit ‘Mask’ in solved the puzzle by having a frustrated Democrat using it as part of the dialogue.

For Illustration Friday. The word this week is ‘might’. I originally was going to draw a cartoon of the last week of the -Mighty- dominance of the Republican Party in Congress in which it looks like they’re going to squander their last days. I decided to go this route with still the far, far, far […]

Illustration Friday’s theme - Invention. Something Christmas isn’t, despite what others might think.

This week’s Illustration Friday contribution. Rather self-explanitory. For political commentary, I plan to add some on my political cartoon blog later.

Wanted to work the word ‘clear’ in visually, but that got thwarted as events lead to frustration and lead to this handling of ‘clear’. More political comments about this to come on my editorial cartoon blog in a couple days. The ‘Illustration Friday’ folks will think that the ‘Village’ cartoons only have to do with elephants. […]

So this ‘Illustration Friday’ was brought to my attention. The idea is that a word is given and some form of illustration is created from it. I thought, “How can I help this challenge me”. Not so much artistically, but creatively. I had an idea for this week’s ‘It Takes a village’ cartoon and realized that it […]
