FDR Has Some Words of Wisdom
'Nother bunch of strips coming your way.
April 27th, 2010. I drew this cartoon almost two years ago. My editor at the time asked for a bonus cartoon that wasn't topical so that it could run at any moment. That moment never came, so it's been sitting around for awhile. A cartoon I did just recently ran into some problems, so I submitted this as a replacement.
The FDR caricature in the strip is based on a real caricature I saw from the 1930s. My only real change was to make his head bigger. That made it funnier for some reason.
I've always liked this one, and whenever I pass my portfolio around I usually include this strip.
April 28th, 2010. I received an e-mail last Tuesday asking for a cartoon regarding Mark Emmert's sudden departure as president of the University of Washington. Upon reading this news, my first immediate thought was, "Well, I'm leaving this year, so there's obviously no reason why he should stick around." This joke became the basis for the cartoon.
By the way, this is the fastest I've ever put together a cartoon. From idea to drawing to submitting, the whole process took a little over an hour and a half.
May 3rd, 2010. Nobody ever complains about those damned Canadian immigrants. Stop taking our jobs!
This was a fun one to write, and I'm particularly fond of the "Alan Thicke level of blandness" line. Oh, and there's another "Degrassi" reference, for you "Degrassi" fans out there.

New Quarter, New 'Toons
Spring quarter has begun at the University of Washington, and that means new cartoons just for you!
March 29th, 2010. I think this one speaks for itself pretty well. And yes, that is the 1958 version of "The Fly" in the last panel.
April 1st, 2010. This one has a pretty long story. Earlier this week my editor informed me that she had pushed up an upcoming deadline, leaving me no time to do an elaborate cartoon that I wanted to do. So I frantically tried to think of easy, "cheater" cartoons that I could do instead (no joke, I once did a cartoon with just Jim and Jillian's eyes). Then I realized I had done a bunch of cartoons over Spring Break for my own amusement, and the above cartoon seemed the most fitting to run.
Because of this fairly rushed process, I left in the name, Stephanie Kaye, which is a reference to the study body president character from "Degrassi Junior High." Normally such an obscure reference wouldn't make it into an official strip (I probably would have used Patty Murray instead), but it just sort of happened this way.
