Dustspeck to Gore: We are Here

Al?  we are here.

(I'll try again)

ahem.  We Are Here!

(Okay, once again, with feeling):

WE ARE HERE!!!

(Darn, I have to track down that kid who yells,"Bop!")

Well may we try to raise our collective voices loud enough to reach the ear of Al Gore.  Our little dustspeck is in dire need.  In that spirit, I'm re-posting a cartoon I drew back in December 2000:

We've been feeling a lot of heat for the past seven years (especially with Cheney and his buddies trying to boil us in oil).  But we are still here.

RUN AL, RUN!

  Help us, Al Gore!!!  You're our only hope!!!!

•  Nice.

  I suppose you could update this by adding a Hillary figure in the corner saying, "Lobbyists are people, too!"

  •  I'd be more inclined

    to see her with the small kangaroo saying, "me too" -- considering the Clintons' reliance on polls to shape their publicly stated positions (not to mention the recent revelations about the tensions between the Clintons and Gores during the 2000 race).

  •  Sort of ...

    Since it takes me far too long to draw a cartoon that I consider decent and I have gotten little response on the few occasions I have posted them in the past, I've been putting my energies elsewhere in recent years.

    •  Well..

      ..a very nice drawing, nonetheless -- it has a unique character that I like.
