Notes
2002: A Contemptible Year
The
year began with a full head of steam. Steam which I blew off
with regular weekly bursts as events in Afghanistan became as
chaotic as opponents of the war had predicted; as the President
continued to embarrass us abroad while stripping our basic protections
from government and corporate malfeasance at home; as hypocrisy
from the homophobic crowd turned vicious during the Catholic
Priest Pedophile Scandal; and let's not forget the failed attempted
coup in Venezuala that has the BushAdmin's fingerprints all
over it.
You
may notice a gap from May until July. Emotionally, this steam
venting got scalding. I took a break. I found ways of tempering
my, er, temper. And I switched from inking with brush to inking
with a fountain pen.
By
year's end, the prospect of war in Iraq and nuclear confrontation
with North Korea seemed somehow manageable. Enraging, horrifying
and frightening. But cartooning-wise, manageable.
