Joan Rivers

In memory of Joan Rivers' passing yesterday, here's a cartoon of mine in which she appeared in 2008; a Hollywood writers' strike was expected to affect that year's award shows.

I freely admit that, had Ms. Rivers actually been forced to critique picketing writers' couture, she would have come up with much fiercer -- and funnier -- comments than I put in her mouth.

P.S.: The memorial cartoon I had in mind to draw for next week is too similar to today's cartoon by Steve Benson, so I may have to choose some entirely different topic.
