Reading magazines like The New Yorker and Mother Jones, I've often seen Steve Brodner's artwork, and sometimes I've even appreciated it, but I never felt connected with him as an individual until I started visiting his site on the topflight aggregator Drawger.
Funny how that works. I've had the same experience with Tom Toles. I always liked his work. (I mean, who doesn't? The man's won a Pulitzer, and draws left-wing cartoons for a right-wing publication, the Washington Post.)
Still, it wasn't until I started seeing his sketches (available here) that I really liked Toles as a person. Curious. I wonder if anyone else feels this way.
But no matter…here's a truly devastating drawing by Brodner, sez me, on the demons of John McCain. He calls it Things We Did Last Summer.
Brodner's caption reads:
upcoming long winter vacation may be the things he heard in his rallies
from the kind of human beings his campaign attracted, and whose
“passion” he was counting on. It feels like he pretty much got what he
ordered. Skol, my friend.
