This political cartoon was drawn with a Fine Point Sharpie, shaded with a Chisel Tip Sharpie & lettered, 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.
Apparently they’re a very fuel efficient heavy transport system. I’m all for it!
They are very fuel efficient, if they were going to be used for transportation of cargo, I would probably go for it, but it is not. It is going to be used for forward reconnaissance. It is going to go where the drones go. If it going to be so forward in a combat area, then the cost does not justify the fuel efficiency when 500bn is blown out of the sky (IMO).
a slow moving large target as reconnaissance? That seems like an almighty blunder
Exactly. When this project was proposed back during the Bush administration, no one has ever brought up how these things are going to defend themselves or if they can be. These things are just a political boondoggle that brought money back home to some congressman’s home district. I’ll do more research on it and post another cartoon next week.
Superb graphics!!! Man The back story is hilarious!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
Ps. I also love those airship for transport.
Thanks Nonoy, you rock!!!
At least those technologies look pretty kick-ass in your drawings. That’s gotta be worth something, right?
Absolutely!
Seven stories high and longer than a football field! Surely not the ideal thing for spying? You have a great blog here. Thanks for the likes on mine
Not a good thing for spying at all.
LOL, love your cartoon! I agree that blimps are awful for spying (I wonder who proposed that idea in the first place?) But I totally want one of your bow and arrow sets! They look fantastic.
Thanks for the like, BTW!

My pleasure, I thought your illustration was pretty cool.
Thanks
That horse would be well worth any cost overruns.
Watchit buddy. This is about job creation.
Lol. Yeah, I suppose it is.
Great drawing. When the Steampunk revolution comes the gov’t will be glad they have those!
I know, won’t they.
