Fella's HalloweenAnother Halloween night.  The child-sized, pointy-eared creature gave himself one last once-over in the mirror before heading out the door.  There hadn't been much for him to do, costume-wise.  Given his everyday appearance, Fella didn't think he needed a costume at all.  His sole concessions to the holiday were a pair of glittery antennae and a ray gun.

That'll do, he thought to himself.  He picked up the most important part of his ensemble for the night - a massive Trick-or-Treat bag - and marched out the door.

It was a cold, crisp evening, filled with the delighted screams of children and the scent of singed pumpkin flesh.  Fella eagerly

YAY! I get to make an editorial cartoon.

This accompanies an article about private vs public funding for the media industry. There's the fear that if it's too privatized (and therefore deregulated and totally profit-driven), the corporations can get too powerful and take over. No innovation, no consumer choice, and no competitive pricing. Of course, a government-granted monopoly (like Canada had in many cases in the early years) can run into very much the same trouble. Forget the battle between government and big business. Neither institution is particularly democratic. So, who do you want to get ripped off by?

This is the only image I spent any decent time on.

I love it. :D

Especially the Jesus-fish on the first guy, and the crossbones on the second. :aww:

Ack, it's not a Jesus-fish. >.> It's an "alpha" - he's got a letter on his jacket to show what a tough-guy he is...yes I am aware that's a stereotype.

Oh oh oh..okay. ^^;

Terribly sorry for the mix-up. *feels un-college like*

And w/out stereotypes, political cartoons would be damn near impossible, now wouldn't they? ;p

Nah, it's just you're the second person to see it as a Jesus-fish. :blush:

It's a cute comic, and I like what it's editorializing. Good job!
