I don’t follow politics, and I don’t make cartoons. The other day I decided to venture out of my little cave, and this is the result: [Sanctity](http://www.flickr.com/photos/38340361@N04/6306561002/) Thoughts? ---

If you are fishing for compliments: Fabulous, I loved it! If your interested in my thoughts: A little trite. It lacks sufficient irony because a lot of people do hear what she thinks they hear. But apply that to today’s candidates on a new topic. Try using Cain’s denials of impropriety, Romney’s flipflops, or Perry’s lunacy. Targeted political satire depends on good timing. Are you familiar with[JibJab](http://www.youtube.com/user/JibJab)? Still good for your first shot. ---

Reminds me too much of the classic Far Side [“What Dogs Hear”](http://www.flickr.com/photos/sluggerotoole/153603564/) strip. ---

Still good for your first shot. Well, I’m not looking to make a career out of this, but thanks for the feedback anyway! I originally made it so I could post it on a BigT’s facebook wall; BigT is a lesbian, so this is the only political shenaniganry I could think of that I knew she would find amusing. It wasn’t until after I posted it that I realized other people might enjoy it too. And no, I hadn’t heard of JibJab. ---

> [@Cryptic\_C62](#): > > BigT is a lesbian Whoa. You learn something new about [your fellow posters](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) every day. 😉 Liked your cartoon, thought it was funny. For people who are less politically aware, if you posted it somewhere, I would include a link to explain who the person in the photo is, not everyone will recognize Michelle Bachmann. ---

The words on the bottom of the picture should appear on top. That’s all I got.
