Checkers

Since Sarah Palin's dumb new reality show started recently, I thought I'd post a few cartoons I've done in the past which comment on the way she shamelessly exploits her family.

I forget what prompted this one, but I remember it was pretty vicious even in context. I love all the little details in the closet, though–see if you can identify each of the objects I crammed in there.

The title of the cartoon is a reference to Richard Nixon's famous "Checkers Speech," in which Nixon attempted to distract the public from campaign finance improprieties of which he'd been accused. Audiences fell for it, and the rest is history.
