Belated Comment on the Latest Galliano Collection

Then I decided that it was better late than never to comment on the latest Galliano collection, otherwise known as torture couture. [Click on the image for a larger version of the cartoon. The text reads: 'I was out walking the tortoise, which can take forever, and I ran into Liv, who was on her way to that new salon, and she said, “Have you seen the Galliano collection for men?” and I said, “No, why?” and she said, “People are saying it's inspired by Abu Ghraib, and the models have bleeding neck and chest wounds, and they're wearing hoods and nooses,” and I said, “Wow, that's edgy,” and she said, “Gotta run,” and by then the tortoise had gone into his shell and it took me forever to coax him out, and I said, “That’s not edgy, that’s sick,” but the tortoise never listens to a word I say, though on the other hand I’m glad I’ll have something to say to Liv next time because I am just a tiny bit intimidated by her.']

First Fashion Sense Cartoon Celebrates Prince Fielder


My first Fashion Sense cartoon was done in response to the news that baseball player Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers had decided to become a vegetarian.

The text reads: 'When I came to Kiki’s place for lunch I wasn’t really expecting steak tartare, and I said, “It’s practically still alive,” and she said, "Mmmmm, bloody delicious," so I said, "Did you hear that Prince Fielder became a vegetarian?"and she had no idea who Prince Fielder is because baseball is so blue collar and she would never be caught dead, etc., etc., and I said, "He’s a first baseman and he felt bad about animals," and then I said, "Did you see those half-dead downer cows in the video?" and she said, "Well, this beef is organic and zero carbs," and I couldn’t finish mine, so while she’s getting coffee I'm letting the bird eat the meat which she said was OK because she’s raising him organic, and trying not to get too attached to him because you never know when you'll have an emergency when not being afraid of a little blood will be an advantage, and I think I’m beginning to feel queasy...']
