Time to start playing around with some different caricatures of Trump. When I come up with a likeness of a politician that reflects my opinion of him or her, I tend to treat it like a logo, or a trademark, and draw it over and over again.

I was in the checkout line at the Walmart recently. That’s what they call it in Indiana, “the” Walmart. My dad worked there before he came out of retirement because of sheer boredom. It was the only place that would hire him (he was in his early 80s) because of his advanced age. He was a janitor and loved playing Santa Claus at Christmastime. He did it until the “cheap bastards” (his words) in corporate decided one year they couldn’t afford to rent a costume. He said of all t
