'Questions' animation begins...
The beginning of a cartoon full of questions.
Hi friends,
There are so many things I'd like to tackle this week, like Clarence Thomas' mystery loan and the new House speaker who is a climate (and election) denier and fan of the "young Earth creationism" movement. (Not to mention stories I somehow missed, like Donald Trump getting even more racist.)
Unfortunately that will have to wait because of all the awfulness happening in Israel-Gaza War.
You can see the script and tiny thumbnails above in what will be another serious look at the unfolding tragedy.
There won't be any voice-over in this cartoon, in part because it is a simpler, less-snarky piece than I usually do.
My last animation on the Israel-Gaza war spawned lots of discussion (and a few cancellations.)
Cartooning about reprisal, retaliation & revenge
As you may have guessed, horrific violence in Israel and Gaza calls for decidedly un-funny cartoons. Mocking Kevin McCarthy is one thing, cartooning about people killing civilians is quite another. No matter how you slice it, civilians in Israel and Gaza
I'll keep you posted and plan on having the new finished animation for you tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your ongoing (and much-needed!) support!
I'll see you back here shortly,
-Mark




Interestingly, no one suggests Hamas return the hostages. Why is that?
