Today's jpost.com cartoon

I'm not sure why they're running this one when the subject already became obsolete. (Context: for several days after their big earthquake, Turkey obstinately refused all offers of international aid, including Israel's; by today, they finally caved in and admitted that they needed some help. Is the cartoon a bit insensitive to them in a time of tragedy? Perhaps--but the ridiculous [and not to mention self-harming] stance they took just begged to be mocked.)

Plus it gave me a chance to draw the Three Stooges in a political cartoon for the first time (following in the footsteps of Laurel and Hardy and the Keystone Cops), so there's always that.

Drawn using:
No. 2 pencil (sketch)
Black 0.4 mm pilot pen
Black 0.5 mm pilot pen
Serif PhotoPlus 6.0
