Post a Comment*Come on!
How many cartoonists have already used this or haven't used it because it's so lazy? It's as bad as using Popeye back during the spinach contamination scare.
You were lamenting back in 2007 that you hate lazy cartoonists. Mirror, dude.
Wow. I hadn't seen it.
But you know, I also have to add, part of the point of this blog is to share the sketchbook stuff that doesn't make the cut for prime time. You're going to see plenty that isn't good enough to publish. It's the nature of the thought process. A sketch like this is a notion in search of a context, a larger meaning, and they only get into print if/when they develop legs.
I agree. There ought to be a brilliantly insightful way to use this. Maybe a political laugh olympics. Probably have to wait until things get more competitive though.
Honestly, I read a LOT of political cartoons, I haven't seen ONE reference to Huckabee Hound.
MPH
Let's see...
Rudy Giuliani - Top Cat. A guy who knows
the alleys of the big city.
John McCain - Quick Draw McGraw. The guy
with the straight talk express.
Ron Paul - Yakky Doodle. Not the clearest
character choice, but I found him hard to quantify.
Mitt Romney - Blue falcon. I can't
explain this one, it just feels right.
And the Democrats:
Hillary Clinton - Cindy Bear. There
are unfortunately a limited subset of
notable female Hanna Barbera characters,
and as Bill Clinton is clearly Yogi,
Cindy gets the nod. Yes, I know this
makes Chelsea Boo-Boo, but politics is
a strange business.
John Edwards - Snagglepuss. He has the
teeth for it, and he exited stage left
in the 2004 campaign.
Barack Obama - George Jetson. His use of
modern media pegs him as a character
of the future.
If people really want to know who
Dennis Kucinich or Fred Thompson should
be I'm sure a character can be found
for them.
and Ron Paul can be Snagglepuss, Exit, Stage Left!msc
Just a few examples on how unoriginal the Huckleberry Hound thing is.....

>>>But you know, I also have to add, part of the point of this blog is to share the sketchbook stuff that doesn't make the cut for prime time.
But you were searching for a way to USE IT.
I simply said I thought it was lazy to use it.
Then it becomes "merely a sketch...an idea...in your sketchbook.
I like it, no insight into use.
who
Clicked the links, HoundDogger. The reference apparently hasn't been used well yet. I'll let mine marinate in the sketchbook until something just right happens.
I guess when Punch used the Punch character they were being lazy, too? It's all about using icons for satirical purposes. Thanks for linking to my political cartoon site...I use it as therapy to get rid of my frustrations with the current politicians and their eilte politics.

Welcome back, Mr. B!
I didn't realize that Huckabee Hound was already in use! But then, I don't get out much.
Still, I think it's a great idea. Huckabee is just begging for Hound to be attached to it......
The point is that an idea is original
if is fresh to the person who has it.
That doesn't mean that it is going to be usable if it's discovered to have been already found by others; it may prove to be an unfresh idea, after all.
BTW, Being rude and casting accusations is such an old, lazy, dunder-headed approach to conveying opinions.
In that case, this was a great fresh idea. It made me laugh out loud (thereby convincing the dogs that someone else was here).
Personally, I think rude people are rude because *they* have no original ideas, so they whale on others to cover themselves......
Any interest in selling the original Huckabee Hound....
