This political cartoon is based on the below quote from The Daily Beast:
One woman in a tight swimsuit playfully squirted a water gun, joking that she belonged to the pro-government militia, the Shabiha, meaning ghosts or thugs, which is believed to be responsible for a recent massacre of more than 100 people, many of them women and children. “The opposition wants to kill us—they even announced it on Facebook,” the woman said, and blithely went back to spraying herself with water.
The political cartoon was drawn with a Fine Point Sharpie, lettered with a Micron Pen no. 1 and no. 0.8 & colored and edited in PhotoShop Elements.
The Ogre works as a call-center phone-monkey. He would eventually love to work as a commercial illustrator or self-sufficient webcomic. The Ogre loves many things and hates few, however he has issues with almost everything (mostly because he has issues--he's started having acne around and on his nose and sitting place again). The Ogre is forty-somethin' flippy years old for goodness sakes and is loosing his mind.
Nice work, Aaron.
Hey thanks Katy, I appreciate it.
Hot chic…..love women with weapons
Oh my!
HAHA! syria’s my national neighbor and you’ve pretty much got it spot on.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that.
Great drawing. Sad and terrible situation for the country.
It is a rotten situation, what’s sad is that seems to be a class and religion based struggle with a minority ruling class.
True, and the more frightened or closer to losing power the minority gets, the more vicious they will get. Then when religion gets mixed into it, well…
