I've been trying to figure out how I would handle the War on Iraq as a comic strip artist. Will I be "against the war" and develop, hard-hitting satirical material about the political leadership (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield. Powell)? Or, will I be "for our troops" and develop moody illustrations and sparse one-liners about "lack of sleep" and "trying to win hearts and minds of Iraqi civilians." I like being "for our troops" and trying to see the War through their eyes, yet, slipping in a jibe at the political leadership. Most recently there are reports on the National Guard units making their own armor from salvaged Iraq Army vehicles. That's a cartoon soon to be drawn.
