Mr. Obama Goes to Washington and then what happened Mommy A look-back at the Obama years. I know, I know -- No Drama Obama -- but don't forget there was the never ending war with the Republican never ending Nay-sayers, and that Dark Cloud hovering nearby, His Lowness Trump, who started with the Birther thing about half way through Obama's presidency tainting the last two years with toxic hate. And don't forget the racism which infused the entire eight years, thanks to the Republican goon squad who never, it seems, sleeps. In other words there was, to say the least, more than a little drama after all. Plenty of cartoonery, of course, as well as the usual irreverent commentary.

The New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) Graphic Artists Guild (GAG) George W, The Son King is a short history of the Son King's catastrophic mess in political cartoons cum commentary; essentially equal parts critique, history, lampoon and indictment of Bush & Co. and its egregious mugging of America. Most of the cartoons in the book first appeared in the feisty The New Hampshire Gazette. The pithy insights accompanying the illustrations are all new. To order the book, please click "CONTACT MIKE HERE..." button (above). The Son Also Sets is continuation and a blessed wrap-up of the Great Dark Age we all lived through under the direction on Fort Bush. Like its predecessor, George W, The Son King, it is a compilation of cartoons and wise-assery. (To order, please see the notes for George W, The Son King or click the buttons on the top of the page.
