Insert Political Parties or Candidates or Referendum Preferences From Your Neck Of The Woods Where Appropriate

…so many choices…

….so many scenarios…

…only one (bad) result….

…the politicians will still be in charge.

 

Political Strings

…attached….

 

….steroids available on request.

At Last One With A Musical Flavour

….like Oy-Oy…I’m stuck for words today.

Those Fat Little Politician Guys

…they float, don’t they?

 

…then we could do them in colour…. suits in brown, perhaps?…

…just so they don’t completely disappear into the waves…

 

 

…hey! …I’m getting the hang of this.

1000 Likes

…are being celebrated here at Boredinarecordshop…

…being celebrated in fine style with the “piece” that has had me prevaricating all week…

…for anyone who unfollows in disgust, I can be quoted as saying “It seemed like a good idea at the time”…

…enjoy – if you don’t enjoy, don’t judge…

…um…

…Ladies and Gentlemen may I present “Tony’s Political Primer”…

 

…wow, you made it this far… I wasn’t sure you’d join me here…

…er… it has been my experience that 4 out of 5 people read “Fatc**t” as “Fatcat”…

…it isn’t…

…still with me?

…picture if you will the “artist” in is 6th week of smoking cessation… to the concern (and amusement ) of his friends, family and peers he has become very manic in his speech and actions… he is continually thrashing around in his sketchbook working thru another set of cigarette-craving induced ideas…

…the fat floaty guys start to get an edge, the “artist’s” imagination dipped in post-tobacco-anti-governmental vitriol…

…describing all establishment suits as Fatc**ts had become a habit (TV news time in our house…the air is BLUE)…

…the idea for the Primer was only going to be a sample page… but “manic” took over and before I knew it I had the whole thing drawn…

 

…all seven pages of it…

…good god, what was I thinking…

..good god, why, when I had returned to a more sedate version of myself did I feel the need to do the whole damn thing again in full colour….

…creative process?…desperate cry for attention?…both?.

For Christchurch 2

…this….

…is a hybrid of these….

 

… still pissed for the folk of Christchurch…. and any body caught up in natural disasters in general, as governments and local bodies, all over the globe,  continue to struggle with providing what they told us they could, should the need arise….

…the best disaster preparedness, as far as I can tell, is to live along way away from all disasters.

(apologies to any one whose broadband allotment got eaten by this post… the scan I took wouldn’t go thru any other way than full blast….will try to correct tomorrow…)

Feel Free To Float

… more floating politicians/business men…

 

…been up till all hours…working on a small project…

..have set a silly personal deadline…

….be glad when it’s out of my system and I can go back to a less frenetic schedule…

…feeling less than wordy… (pity the punters who have to deal with me in person today…)

….maybe  my “voice” will come back after a few nights not-drawing till very, very late.

Just Say No

….when election time comes…

 

…and from the sketch book…

 

 

…post cigarette resentment of politicians builds….

…had to take it out on someone…..

…rather “them” than those close at hand.

Parliamentary Coconut Shy

…roll up, roll up… knock the politician from his perch and win…

 

…and the original sketch…

 

…which, yes, contains rifles…

…thought it wise to leave them out because I didn’t want to be seen to advocate what has always puzzled me in this country….

…with all the moaning we do about them how come we never shoot the buggers?
