Is That All You Do?



My buddy Albert Pyle over at the Mercantile Library asks me each year to do a caricature of that year's speaker for their annual literary dinner invitation. It's one of my more satisfying pro bonos because he always invites my wife and me to the dinner and makes sure we meet the subject. One year we sat with Salman Rushdie; last year I drew Annie Proulx.

I agreed again this year and was midway through my vacation at the lake when I remembered the project's deadline was upon me. Googleless, I borrowed a couple of Calvin Trillin books from the nearby library and drew the caricature from a book jacket while standing in the post office, then stuck it in the mailbox with a descriptive address (Mercantile Library, Main Street somewhere between 4th and 5th Streets, Cincinnati, OH 45202).

By the time I got back to town Albert said the invitation was at the printer. I'm pleased with how it turned out. There's something to be said for not overworking an assignment.

Jim Tarbell Leaves City Council


Challenger



Lee Ann from Middletown asked me to post this tribute drawing to teacher Christa McAuliffe who died in the Challenger disaster twenty years ago.

I remember that on that day I struggled to execute the idea I had of a child offering an apple to the heavens. I must have torn up three or four versions in which the child's hand was drawn realistically. Finally in exasperation I drew the image more the way a child might draw it and it became one of my most commented-upon cartoons.


Bonds Away



I happened to be penciling some strips late last night and caught the Bonds home run live. Obviously, I'm no fan of the guy but I was glad it happened at home so he could have a true moment of glory before the rest of us dampened the celebration. The muscles may be out of a bottle, but the eye-hand co-ordination is still remarkable.

Willie Mays was always my hero, and his presence gave Bonds some credibility in my book. But Willie looked not so much like the godfather as the Godfather in his role last night. I never caught a smile pass between them nor a look of pride. Mays looked like a security guard protecting his quarry.

And the moment at home plate struck me as symbolic. Bonds' son hugged his dad but dad pointed at the sky, to his dad presumably. Talk about a missed opportunity for the sake of a photo op. If your son hugs you at the climactic moment of your career, here's a hint: take a moment and hug him back.

Nobody else is saying it, but I found myself wondering if Bonds had stayed in the game might he have helped his team win, by the way? In Barry Bonds world, the outcome of the game was insignificant compared to his solo accomplishment. Get more symbolic than that.

Brutal


Chill

Relax, folks. I posted the Bonds cartoon prematurely. It'll run when he breaks the record (as opposed to ties the record.)

Thanks for your comments on the pencil-rough post earlier today. As you can see, I've incorporated several suggestions which solidly improved this idea. "A Tip of the Hatlo Hat to..." Anonymous and Anonymous.
