    Not with Rahm Emmanuel as Chief of Staff.

    Barry better watch his back, because ol' Rahmmy was involved in the Lewinsky affair.

    Rahm Emanuel?!? What the f**k?

    Maybe it's like LBJ's "inside-the-tent=pissing-out tactic?

    I think that when watching a cartoon, people expect it to flow in a more narrative way. This cartoon just cuts to new scenes which are just animated versions of the panels in a cartoon. When you start to get connected to a scenario, it ends and cuts to a new one.

    If you cannot get this somewhat unconventional format to work for people, adapting a more traditional narrative approach will get them, but it will lose something.

    Better sound, more sound and less Kubric-pauses are helping alot!!! Please keep it up.

    Sorry, but it just doesn't work for me, neither did the Sarah Palin one. You're still one of my fave cartoonists though...

    I thought it was amusing, though the voiceovers are pure amateur.

    Nonsense. The voice work is amazing! You should do that professionally.

    Im sorry Ted, I do like your comics much better your cartoons. They are funny yes - but you have to keep in mind that Ive been a fan of yours since I was in High School( since 1999 unfortunately that hasn't translated into $$$ on your products all that much, sorry Im just cheap and I have the internet).

    not that familiar with your cartoons yet (print or animated) but i thought this was funny. i especially like the scene with the american licking the t.v. screen. i think you should make obama more svelt, afterall when time allows, he opts for at least a 90 minute workout.
