Cool “Support the artist” button!

(Fat dude is Al Gore.)

I thought that was Gore, thanks for confirming. Like I said, you rarely need to label like a lot of cartoonists seem to have to.

Keep ‘em coming!

This is great! So do the Demos get to blame Bush for HCR too?

Sarjex,

I would have put a fading thought bubble higher above Al Gore’s head with the phrase “Ahem, Ms. Speaker, I’d blame Global Warming. It always works for me!”

SIDEBAR:

I had a SNL skit idea a while ago but maybe it really belongs in the territory of cartoon animation. If you like, try drawing a series of cartoons that depict the following:

If Saturday Night Live wanted to do a skit about “A day in the life of Al & Tipper Gore.” How do you think it would go over with GE & NBC executives?

The SNL announcer appears on a separate set: Ever wonder what Al and Tipper Gore talk about when it’s just the two of them alone? Join us now as we drop in unexpectedly on the Gore’s.

—– Skit begins —-

cue canned applause

Tipper: Hey Al, I had an uncontrollable desire to consume Celery root puree today. I blame it on global warming.

cue canned laughter

Al: I hear what you’re saying Tipper. Why just this morning I forgot to tie one of my shoes. I blamed it on global warming too.

cue canned oohs

Tipper: Al have you seen the television remote control?

suck the sound out of the studio for two seconds

Al: No I haven’t. I’ll bet it disappeared because of global warming.

cue canned oohs and ahs

Tipper: You’re right Al. Now why didn’t I think of that?

—– Skit ends —-

cue canned scattered rants of ‘what the eff’s’ coming from off stage

cue up some socialist national anthem from who know where, end it quick with simpani drum sounds and then fade to black & cut

cue canned applause

The SNL announcer returns: Well, wasn’t that fun?Thanks for joining us. Be sure to tune in next week, we’ll be presenting an up close look at Joe and Jill Biden, just what do “they” talk about when it’s just the two of them alone.

Maybe, Day by Day Cartoonist Chris Muir has done this scenario with the Gore’s already.

It’s just rough outline, I really don’t know the first thing about writing skits or how they format them.

You’re the pro, do what you will with this, ignore it, amplify on the idea, whatever. If this skit has already been done somewhere before, then I missed it.
