Today's J. Post cartoon, plus predecessor

An idea so nice I used it twice--despite a cartoon with an identical theme (below) being rejected, I could not resist doing it over for a decidedly less benign symbolization of the extremely wide web of corruption Jerusalem's "Holyland" building project has found itself mired in, termed "the worst corruption scandal in Israeli history".

(When the government initially left the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb off a list of national heritage sites slated for public promotion, I lent my voice the protest with the depiction of just why this was such an incalculable mistake. The oversight was, thankfully, rectified.)

1,000TH VISIT

Congratulations to whoever-you-are from Saugus, Massachusetts, USA, with your hit at 9:22:32 PM EST you are The Eighth Day's 1,000th visitor! Whooo!
In celebration of this milestone, coming 10 months and a day after the blog opened for business, I have prepared a compilation of representatives of this blog's most popular (i.e., most-viewed) entries. And heeeere they are!!


In no particular order:
1. Anthropomorphized Master Shifu of Kung Fu Panda 2. Linkara, host of Atop the Fourth Wall 3. Aesop's tortoise and hare, whom I storyboarded 4. Linkara's satirical superhero concept BloodGun 5. DC Comics' Lian Harper as a child and 6. as a superheroine in her own right, from my fanmade "near future" Young Justice: The Next Generation team 7. Kermit the Frog as a member of the Blue Lantern Corps, from a drawing that has drawn an inexplicably large number of people Googling "blackest night muppet show" (or [key]words to that effect) 8. Barack Obama (drawn in the style of Peanuts), representing my political cartoon work along with 9. accused Nazi John Demjanjuk.
In the background are, of course, their original appearances (accessible via the above links).
To quote from my other blog, "on to the next thousand!!"

Ripped From the Archives: August 2008

Once again, all three of the following saw print in a single month.


In what has proven to be my other blog's most popular image, I show the absurdity of Olmert complaining about Livni being a "backstabbing liar". Hypocrite much, Mr. Bolt-the-Party-and-Uproot-the-Settlements?


The infamous Samir Kuntar deal. Nothing more need be said.


An earlier variation on Olmert's tribulations.

Harry Potter game board

This is a homemade version of Monopoly based on the Harry Potter books. My brother was doing a report on one of them and needed to do something creative to accompany it (I don't remember if it necessarily had to be a game), so he chose this and asked me to draw it. He drew in the boxes himself and colored them; the only problem was that he forgot how many squares there are on a Monopoly board, which is why a few of them look wonky.
Many of the character designs were copied from those that appeared in my earlier Harry Potter Four-of-a-Kind (drawn for the same brother, incidentally).
UPDATE: Used by the Literacy, families and learning blog in a post. Claimed to be courtesy of my blog but no such courtesy was actually granted. Must be one of them imaginary courtesies I hear about floating around.

Today's J. Post cartoon

Obama's made the decision to remove any references to Islam from the National Security Strategy documents. Yeah, because that makes perfect sense, what with the worst threats to America's security being jihadist Muslims and all.
Also, please note the Amazing Levitating Table Top (Pat. Pend.)--I was fortunate just to remember to add in the ends, forget the legs.

The Atom and Ragman chow down

To celebrate my return to drawing after Passover, here's two of DC Comics' more prominent Jewish characters eating traditional Pessach foods, matza and matza balls. :-)
