Got a neat story to illustrate today. It was about corrupt politicians, without whom, we editorial illustrators would quickly run out of subject matter to excoriate. I went with a classic theme of the watch dog and the fat cat. It is meant to appear as a spot in next Monday's Newsday on the OpEd page. I had quite a bit of fun on the cats face. The idea--compositionally--is to create tension between the Lilliputian watchdog and the Brobdingnagian cat.
