People just can't seem to control some overwhelming compulsion to give Barack Obama awards for no good reason. Remember the Nobel Peace Prize for continuing 2 wars? That encouraged him so much that he got into a 3rd one! Well, now (even though his administration is one of the most secretive ever, and he's the most mysterious man to occupy the Presidency) a group has awarded Obama a "Transparency in Government" Award. In true Obama style, he insisted on accepting the award in an unannounced private ceremony with no cameras allowed. I kid you not! - Jerry Breen www.newbreen.com
I've been doing political cartoons since the 60's. Since that time, my work has appeared sporadically in a few major papers but never on any regular basis. My best work has gone unpublished and unseen over the years. UNTIL NOW! With the advent of the Internet, I can now publish my own work on my own terms. And now that my cartoons are accessible to the public, people have been discovering them. And republishing them. And "googling" them. My Barack Obama cartoons are the most popular Obama cartoons on the worldwide web. Even my classic Nixon "Checkers" cartoon, which I couldn't get published back in the 70's, is now one of the most popular Nixon cartoons on the web. The Internet is a level playing field, and the cream rises to the top. I'll be publishing my latest cartoons on this blog, interspersed with some of my classic (unseen) older work. Now that there are no stupid editors to get in between me and the reading public, nothing's gonna stop me now!
