Fantastic! Way to open up a can of wicked-cool sarcasm on our culture. This is a great dictation of where we are now in society.

Spectacular piece: clever, cheeky, and fresh- I want to high five you!

Great work, Dave and it certainly speaks toward the tendency of the right-wing wackos in this country who feel Obama is trying to disarm them, thus making their pile of Ramen noodles a target for neighborhood bullies, the Jew, the Mexicans, the Blacks or anyone else they feel is against them.

great as usual!

But I was just wondering what's the deal with Colt 45?
I've seen it in a couple of your pieces now, like the Menace II Society/Sobriety.

All I know is that its a beer and that we don't get it in Australia

ahh ok
thought it may have some relevance

oh and yea, despite what people may think, it is quite hard finding fosters in a pub in Australia
Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever seen it in a bar/pub

davidmacdowell In reply to mungbean [2009-04-29 17:12:32 +0000 UTC]

I guess I just think the label looks visually cool with its play of primary colors-The Fosters can looks cool too!

Another piece of yours that kicks ass. Love your stuff, Dave. (May I call you Dave?)

(By the way, those 2 dudes (or gals) questioning Tupac's, Malcolm's and Che's free thinking aren't getting any points from me.)

First off I really like this piece and almost everything else you do. The only real crit that I have is with putting Tupac into the piece. Everyone else that you have up there is a political figure and protested against something or was a symbol of the movement. They all died for their beliefs, except Obama. To me Tupac was a gangster and a thug that died doing what gangsters do, talking shit about others and getting killed for it. Aside from that I think it's a great piece.
