I did this 'toon back in 2004...seems just as relevant today, just for different reasons!
after which an example of Pedro Picasso's "art"work
New campfire; only one lumpenunterprimitiven's showed up at it yet.

It's astonishing that a man with that kind of talent has never been able to make a living.
Oh, wait..no, it isn't.

Pedro McGrath won`t even make it into the top 10 DOTY balloting and may not be nominated at all.
Such a :loser:

Probably not, but it's his own fault for not putting out.
On the other hand, if he thinks "out of sight, out of mind," well, he'd perhaps better re-think.

Oh my God is that awful! A hideously ugly cartoon. A real embarrassment. Besides that, the reader of the cartoon has no idea what the message is. None at all. They're too taken aback by an ugly drawing of a naked old man considering himself. Not fit for public consumption.

Who has it worse....
Atman with erectile dysfunction...or...Omaha Steve with electile dysfunction?

Pedro can take a pill for his problem.
Obamaha Steve, not so much. :-)

Isn't the message of that pitiful "cartoon" exactly opposite of the message of the entire democrat party?

Love the fact that only one person responded to that pathetic post. Poor Texas Toast.

I may have doused that campfire myself; I'm not sure.
The evil twin had just lit it when I got to Skins's island, and so I immediately posted it here.
I dunno if anybody else has noticed this phenomenon, but many times when a primitive campfire's brought over here, it dies out on Skins's island. Although that could be a coincidence.

Noticed that too on occasion.

If it's Assman, then the campfire dying out is a good thing.

Well now, I just got back from home after driving somewhere, and for some reason I was thinking of this thread as I was on my way; it's remarkable how much of the eastern slope of the Sandhills of Nebraska in autumn resembles Connecticut in autumn, or at least Connecticut in autumns of the late 1970s and early 1980s when I was through there several times.
Miles and miles, thousands and thousands of trees, in all their autumn glory, green, yellow, gold, brown, red.
I thought about buying a disposable camera when I was in the big city to snap photographs, but then figured no, I don't want any more pictures, and besides, if anybody wants to know what the eastern slope of the Sandhills in Nebraska looks like in autumn, there's plenty of pictures of what Connecticut looks like in autumn.
Excepting minus toll-booths and traffic. One can go for a long time without seeing another vehicle, and the lanes are wider and smoother (so as to accommodate agricultural machinery). Otherwise, the trees, the roads, the rivers, are just the same.
Anyway.
You know, we rib Atman a lot about his "art," and while much of the disdain is deserved, not all of it is. This piss-poor example he proudly hung in Skins's island is far from any of his finest works. In fact, I was surprised he chose this one to show off, it's so inferior to other stuff he's done.
I think Atman is pretty good at caricature, but could be outstanding at it, if he dropped his Hate and rage and politics when working on it. That does show through, and it degrades what could be a fine, expertly-drawn caricature down to simply another run-of-the-mill dime-a-dozen coarse Hate-cartoon.
I'm a fan of caricature, and Atman does have potential. Potential.
He's got to sit down, relax, and get mellow, shedding himself of his Hate for other people, and vote Republican, after which his remarkable potential can become reality.
There's a framed caricature of franksolich hanging on the wall near the computer here, made in chalk by some itinerant Russian caricaturist in Kiev the spring of 1995. I've only ever had custom-framed, and hung, two pictures of myself; this one, and a profile of myself in silhouette when I was seven. (They're both way too large to scan, sorry.)
It's a very good caricature, and it's obvious this long-ago Russian artist and Atman came from the same school, with similar styles and manners and flair. The only difference is, Ivan drew his with love and humor, while Rob draws his with Hate and anger.
