I don't need a sign si...I thought it was excellent. I don't need a sign signaling "SATIRE", especially with Blitt's work, and I thought it was interesting they put it on the cover instead of inside, as a "sketchbook" feature, where it'd have a title and a more distinct frame of reference. And I wish I could draw like Blitt anyway, so I'm predisposed to like it. If you read the Ryan Lizza piece about Obama inside it's pretty obvious Blitt's drawing isn't illustrating it. The piece mostly deals with Obama's years in Chicago politics, which is evidently something he hasn't dealt with in his autobiographies. It's not a worshipful piece but it's not out to wreck Obama either. The third sketch I did, which I didn't post here, was Obama as a carpetbagging yokel gaping at the big buildings in Chicago. It only illustrated one little bit of the article, so I can see why it didn't run. <BR/><BR/>What did you think of the cover?richardcthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176282831210054050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-13423392428334619102008-07-14T15:39:00.000-07:002008-07-14T15:39:00.000-07:00So what did you think of the Obama cover?1) Did it...So what <I>did</I> you think of the Obama cover?<BR/><BR/>1) Did it strike you as funny?<BR/><BR/>2) If not, do you think it could have been funny, or is it just irresponsible etc.?<BR/><BR/>3) If yes to #2, what would you have done differently?
