Political cartoons (Obama years)

The DarkSide Weekly: Blood 

When blogs were all the rage and as far as political humor goes, I decided to experiment and test my sense of humor by playing with the irony of the political scene. With Obama under constant, nonsensical attacks from the fringes of "the right" and the absurdity of Fox News, I couldn't resist intervening with my own brand of humor to make a larger point—or at least let the ironies stand on their own.

The idea was to make the graphic itself the punchline, and I sort of got good at it, finding the humor and the right tone. The format was simple, fun, and artistically challenging, as everything had to work together to be funny and make sense. Caricature was my approach, and somehow, I managed to make that work with everything else. Even though it's dated now, you can probably still relate to those moments in time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
