Splattergate 1998


In 1998, with impeachment in the air and the Clinton administration being hobbled by the investigation of the nature of the president’s relationships with various women -- most notoriously, Monica Lewinsky -- I felt called upon to lampoon the scandal. So I created a series of caricatures featuring some of the main characters and wrote goofy captions for them.

That was "Splattergate," which was my fifth series of collectible cards on a theme. Below the reader will see seven of the nine frames for the Splattergate cards (click on an image to enlarge it).


Haven't done another set of cards since this one. Now I'm working on a new series of caricatures based on a political scandal. At the center of this scandal, rather than a randy president, we have a tacky governor. We'll see what comes of that.
