Description The full title of this cartoon is "Pay No Attention to that Man Behind the Curtain," but again, DeviantArt won't let me fit the whole thing in the title field.

I drew this in anticipation of the 2010 Midterm Election, since the Supreme Court recently gutted campaign finance reform, opening the floodgates for corporations to buy candidates even more easily and anonymously than a nameless drifter buys porn in an adult video store.

A complete explanation of the symbolism in the cartoon can be found on my website . I encourage interested readers to take a look–please shoot me a few bucks if you appreciate the thought I put into it!

And to you all manly Americans out there, where the hell are you hiding? Forgotten about Thomas Paine's revolutionary writing, the Common Sense?
Or maybe still indulging in MacDolands or Paris Hilton porn?
The tea party wasn't used to be what it was last time.

Ah yes, the facade of democracy. A shame most voters aren't even aware that there IS a man back there.
