What I find fascinating in these cartoons is the relative stature that each character has. Look through the archives and you find trends that seem to be common regardless of artist, subject or support for for or against the person in question.

Over his administration GW Bush has been drawn as getting shorter and shorter from year to year, so that of late his portrayals have him half the size of a typical podium.

Hillary has also undergone a shrinking effect, even when the thrust of the cartoon would seem to favor her, while Obama has routinely towered over other figures even when the cartoon has a distinctly anti-Obama message.

I have to wonder of there's something in the collective unconscious, some subliminal cue that directs the artist's hand in some way.

You forgot the wings and halo for your God....

You can draw him to look like MLK but that won't make him MLK.

You should have drawn him like Frankenstein's Monster since he was built in the Daley Democratic Machine Labs. That would be far more appropriate for him because he sure is no monument, except to the stupidity of the American Democratic voters.

ShyGuy is another one of the Loyal Thirty-percenters, for whom the moronic Bush is a god and all others are the real fools. I can't wait for November to put reality rightside up for Mr. Guy.
