47 Reasons I Didn't Become A Cartoonist: Part 3

Politics...why did it have to be politics?

I've got one for each of the major players in the 1980 presidential election.


Jimmy Carter - Make fun of his big teeth and smile...check. Damn! So much other well trodden ground left unvisited. And why oh why didn't I do something with everyone's favorite presidential brother, Billy!


Ronald Reagan - I was only 10, but I was well aware that Reagan was a doddering old fool. I'm curious...does this one actually make sense to anyone?


John Anderson - Ever the iconoclast, I was a John Anderson supporter. I had a button and everything. Unfortunately I'm at a loss for why I liked John Anderson...or what his stance was. Likely it was just the first major election where I was old enough to understand what was going on.

Oh...and more nostril fixation. Noses have 2 holes in them, so OF COURSE I have to draw both of them. It's a law. You can look it up.

I don't get the Ronald Reagan one. I know he liked jelly beans and all, but did he use his power and the Star Wars program to cause an earthquake? Was the Jelly Belly factory hit by a Nucular war head? (yes, that's the correct way to spell Nuclear during the Bush regime.) Was that his stomach rumbling maybe?
