The Spectacle Blog
Some people think they’ve made it when they do television. Or when they get syndicated. Others know when they get quoted, say, on NPR.
National Review’s Mark Hemingway (former AmSpec contributor and fellow Phillips Fellow) has a different barometer for success: Pancakes on his head.
An artist in Shakobee, Minnesota has made this his
shtick. So while Andy Warhol gets away for tinkering with the
colors of a bunch of Marilyn Monroe photos, I’m happy to report
that this man shows that the economy hasn’t done away with
everything strange and unnecessary.
Hilariously, this was posted because the artist took umbrage that Hemingway sniffed at his previous painting: a nude Obama riding a unicorn. He (apparently wrongly) assumed it was a pro-Obama painting. I never bothered looking into the thing, but it always struck me as being a simply ironic kitschy thing the kids are into these days. Turns out that’s exactly what the artist was going for.
Go to eBay and get your own.

I've drawn the Faithmouse pro-life cartoon for years.
I participated in the first Blogs4Life conference at the Family Research Center in Washington, D.C.-

-got potshotted by Amanda Marcotte for this cartoon-
http://faithmouse.blogspot.com/2007/02/past-faithmouse-posts-on-pandagon-by.html
produced about 100 cartoons for Stop The ACLU over a two year period-
http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2007/04/18/faithmouse-partial-birth-abortion-ban-upheld/
had cartoons featured regularly on Alan Keyes Renew America, including many supporting Terri Schiavo-

was linked on Newmax, Men's News Daily, Conservative Truth, and hundreds of other Christian/Conservative sites-

and got the heck beat out of me by the liberal online community for years. 'They' knew about my cartoon-

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1994079
-but outside of steadfast supporters and a number of fellow pajama bloggers, I couldn't interest the larger secular conservative community in bringing my apologetic to a wider audience, so I became disillusioned and whatever the cartoon used to be died. That community included The American Spectator, which I approached repeatedly. You wouldn't even acknowledge my emails. So I hope you can understand my deep feeling of pronounced absurdity when I'm noticed by the first time by the very people who should have been supporting me and only because they're on a looney Obama image treasure hunt. Producing a humorous painting as a response was restrained, considering. Mr. Hemingway enjoyed his painting, by the way.
As for those 'liberals,' the very people who used to criticize my cartoon, they've embraced my newer work and I'm grateful.
