Eeek
I'm bored. Let's make fun of stuff. Haven't seen many good Haiti cartoons. This one lets you know there was an earthquake if you hadn't heard.
Not a cartoon I would have drawn. But if the stake represents the earthquake, maybe the pins represent the 100 years of brutal policies we imposed on the people of Haiti.
God kinda comes off looking like an asshole in this one.
It's a good thing Haiti vaguely sort-of resembles a letter in the alphabet or John Sherrfius would have had to actually work yesterday.
We live in the richest country on earth so shame on us for thinking we could actually provide health care to all our citizens.
Someone drew this.

Is the Sherffius one supposed to say "Please jive"? 'Cause that's sure what it looks like to me.
*sigh* The TN one just had to be the suckiest of them all. I hate my state.
If the point of the Beeler one is to imply that Robertson's version of god is an asshole, then it's an interesting and to the point cartoon. I just looked at several past cartoons of his though and don't see him doing anything that subtle.
Assuming Charlie Daniel is a 5th grader, his work shows promise.
I love your cartoons Matt, but sometimes the funniest part of your blog is skewering your colleagues' work. Your placement and comment on the Daniel atrocity made me laugh out loud.
In Daniel's cartoon, Uncle Sam is kind of a creepy wife beater. In the "Before" panel which was left out, Uncle Sam is pummeling Haiti with his fists, not letting Haiti buy some nice new things for herself, but pocketing all Haiti's money himself and telling her to quit complaining or he'll give her some more. Then Haiti has a terrible accident, and Uncle Sam is all, "Oh baby, I'm so sorry, let me help you, babe."
Like I said before, even if you weren't the original Bad Cartoonist, you're certainly capable of carrying on in his stead. Though, you do manage to be a bit more...gentle, for lack of a better word, which probably helps with the non-anonymity.
I'm sure you've thought this a thousand times to yourself, but i really and truly have no idea why some of these people's cartoons are published.
Any editor with half a brain should realize there's better work out there... There are probably college freshman at every art school in the country with more wit and skill than anyone you just linked.
I though Charlie Daniel was from Georgia. He would be in trouble if the devil ever challenges him to a cartoon-drawing contest.
The fault line in the Rogers SBT cartoon appears to lie directly along the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic... more to it than you first thought?
