3. Yeah, I chose those 3 because...

A) Coulter started the whole "Treason" conversation and that quote is particularly obscene

B) Geraldo's stupidity is widely known, loathed, and laughed at.

C) The Novak thing is the most timely and is particularly CREEPy.

4. I like it, but there's one problem...
"REPUBLICAN TREACHERY from from Watergate to Enron to Iraq".

5. HAha... wow...

... that's one of the oldest optical illusions in the book. I didn't even notice it. Thanks. I'll fix it in a bit.

6. Very truthful
And truth is what really makes for great political cartoons. It is funny in a dark way. Fix the repeated "from" in the book title and you've got perfection.

7. Fixed...

... and yes, all good satire has at least a grain of truth at its core. In this case, it's almost pure truth, with the only exceptions being modifications to the book cover, a couple things to make the images more clear or lay out properly, and paraphrasing Rivera and Novak instead of using direct quotes.

8. I LOL when I read the Whorealdo paraphrase
And thanks for the links to your paintings. I love looking at them. The first time I looked at them they reminded me of one of my favorites from 1932: Ben Shahn's "The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti."
