Lol this is similar to Idiot box and a couple of other cartoons. I wish I had the tools that you had to create this. Unfortunately all I got is paintbrush. Thanks for the humor. (some might not quite get this and will take it seriously)
Do you ever notice that Ron Paul could only get all of his promises done if he was a dictator? Has a single bill of his ever been passed into law?

Servando, welcome to the Chart and appreciate the cartoon. Right now, only one author is currently publishing cartoons, and I for one welcome any diversification here with this choice of media! Thank you!

Hi Jake:
Hi:
Thank you for your encouraging words.
I love political satire, and I promise I'll make some time to create more cartoons like this one. Creating them takes some time, but it is worth the effort.
Best,
Servando.

Hi Lloyd:
HI:
I used Comic Life, an inexpensive and easy to use software (I work on the Macintosh platform, but I think they have also a PC version). Now, though the software is easy to use, creating a cartoon like this is still a painstaking, time consuming job.
Taking humor seriously is a contradiction in terms. Unfortunately, some people do it -- particularly the politically correct crowd. (I mention this in my just published article "Castro's Cuba: A Testing Ground for the NWO?" Take a look at it.)
I am aware of what you mention about Ron Paul using executive orders as a way to carry out his plans. But, when somebody asked him that question, he answered that he would do it by convincing the people to pressure the legislators. A good answer, but probably too naive.
Best,
Servando.
