C. Wright Mills

Famous theorist of the “power elite”, C. Wright Mills is one of my favorite sociologists. SocProf writes about him at Cranky Sociologists, and the above illustration goes with it. Pay the article a visit, Mills is always worth another look.

Digital Sketchbook: Arizona

Arizona and Tennessee seem to be in competition for who can impose the cruelest and dumbest laws on its citizens. In Tennessee, the legislature is moving forward with a bill to deduct 30% of TANF benefits to families whose children do not perform well in school. In Arizona we see yet another bathroom policing law, attempting to prevent people who identify with a gender different from what they were born with from using the bathroom they prefer. To get as far as trying to regulate this sort of thing, it must be keeping some folks up at night. I don’t know why. Maybe real social problems are too complex for their little minds.

Digital Sketchbook: Shadow of Fear

Some days it seems like my country is overrun by guys like this: not too bright, but full of anger, fear, resentment and overconfident opinions on the decline of “America” – a vague notion that rests more on fictional, highly idealized (and edited) versions of a glorious mid-20th Century past.

I think I unconsciously borrowed that cat from a Chuck Jones cartoon.

Drawn in Paper by 53. I will be adding this and other Paper sketches to the sketchbook gallery soon.

New Learning Curve Cartoon: Parent Trigger (Un)Happy

Posted on October 26, 2012 By kevinwmoore
cartoons

Newly added to the Learning Curve page, a cartoon about “Won’t Back Down” and the parent trigger option it propagandizes. The real challenge of this cartoon was rendering Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis in a cartoony fashion, less caricature, more cartoon character (subtle difference, I know.) I think the top panel is successful, Maggie reads … Read More “New Learning Curve Cartoon: Parent Trigger (Un)Happy” »

Obama: Cruisin’ to Victory

Posted on October 17, 2012 By kevinwmoore
politics, presidential election

I came up with this one prior to Obama’s somnambulant performance during the first debate, when Romney was imploding so bad that it distracted from some of Obama’s own problems. But after the first debate, I decided to wait until after the second, when I knew he would be more aggressive and thus earn a blue ribbon … Read More “Obama: Cruisin’ to Victory” »

Sketchbook: TinTin Discovers Edward Said

Posted on September 30, 2012July 18, 2021 By kevinwmoore 5 Comments on Sketchbook: TinTin Discovers Edward Said
politics, sketchbook

My son was watching The Adventures of TinTin, an early 90s animated adaptation of Hergé’s classic comic books, and it inspired the above entry in my sketchbook. The series is faithful to the look and style of the comics, the character design, the stories and, more unsettling, Hergé’s unapologetic racism and imperialist condescension. If anything, … Read More “Sketchbook: TinTin Discovers Edward Said” »

Mitt Romney Chums Up to Death

Posted on September 15, 2012 By kevinwmoore
caricature, politics, presidential election

Mitt Romney’s kneejerk response to the protests and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya, which led to the deaths of four Americans, revealed a lot about his character. All politicians have a talent for opportunism, but so few are driven by it as Romney is. It was naked ambition that overrode any respect … Read More “Mitt Romney Chums Up to Death” »

Future School Reforms

cartoons

A new Wanderlost page is coming. But while we wait, here is a new Learning Curve cartoon I did for PCCFFAP, my teacher’s union, all about the trend of school reforms, at least in my life time. My editor, a dear, sweet person, politely requested the next cartoon be a bit more hopeful. I think … Read More “Future School Reforms” »
