Obit Watch

Two bozos just died: Bozo the clown and the despicable racist Jesse Helms. We can expect some obit cartoons for both. (including using the line about "two bozos," I'm sure.)

John Kovalic has made a do-it-yourself obit for Bozo and Helms: "Grab it, open photoshop, and beat many a salaried editorial cartoonist to the punch!" Check the comments for versions his readers have posted.

Here's mine:


Edit: Looking through the thread, there's some funny ones. Could it be that in 24 hours some people responding to a LiveJournal post already created some cartoons that are far better than those we'll see from professionals who seem to ape the first one out of the gate after every major death?

Yes. Yes it is.

Looks like Stephanie McMillan decided to draw an obit cartoon on Helms herself.

Reminds me of one I did years ago just after Strom Thurmond died. It's not in my archives anymore, but it's still on my server:
