Caricature Friday: Liz Cheney & Bill Kristol
Once again I go inside baseball with a political caricature. Today it’s Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol as dung beetles, which I fear unjustly insults dung beetles. After all, they roll balls of shit into perfect spheres, a truly impressive accomplishment for creatures with no geometric sciences to speak of. I was going to say they were low on the evolutionary ladder, but that’s not good biology: they’re on a very different evolutionary track than we are, and the whole notion of a “ladder” implies more special chauvinism than I am comfortable with. That said, Liz and Bill are pond scum.
Um, words on technique: I used dry brush for shadow and texture effects. I feel like I should have made the dung ball more poopy, but the reference photos I used showed some rather bland balls of dung.
See what I mean? Look more like balls of straw and gum. Again, I tip my hat to dung beetle mad skillz. I should just accept that as a cartoonist, I am not bound by reality.
my take looks like the beetle has a little more sense than brain dead attempts at humour that you are attempting. The beetle sets out to clean up the environment. Morons like yourself, without ability to find a place among society that is suitable for you set about to change the nature of the environment by making stupid comments about those who are dealing with it. And by the way in dealing with it putting up with bullshit from people like yourself. Have a nice fucking day.
Are you defending the dung beetle? Or William Chrystal and Liz Cheney? If the former is true, I sympathize; the dung beetle is a worthy critter and will most likely outlast our species, no matter how much damage we do to the environment we depend on. If the latter, then we have no common ground. Sorry.
