Duck Goes Moo!

One of my original posts on this blog was about my desire to make a political cartoon called “Strange Bedfellows” that would star an elephant married to a donkey.

Today, I have made the first step in making that a reality:

This is just a preliminary design for the characters, but it’s a step in the right direction.

I actually like the idea so much I might drop the daily Duck Goes Moo! cartoon and just work on this comic. There always will be plenty of fodder for jokes and story lines with all the politics that go on.

I’ll have to make a couple of strips and see if it seems to work.

I’ve been thinking about making a politcal cartoon called “Strange Bedfellows” that stars a married couple, an Elephant and a Donkey, that bicker about political issues like a married couple would about money, the kids, etc… I tried to draw some prototype characters but I have just come to realize that I can’t draw very well. I’m much more of an abstractionist than a cartoonist. Still, I will keep trying to draw the cartoon and will post my successes here as they come.

I do know that I want the husband to be a trucker-nascar type republican and the wife to be an NPR-GreenPeace type democrat. I’ve thought about making the elephant like G.W.Bush and the woman a zionista but decided against those obvious stereotypes in lieu of others, hehe…
