Halliburton Humor - Many Thanks to RadFringe!

I sent this out to my distribution list a short while ago:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

To cap off an important week in Halliburton History, and as a sneak preview of the features that are soon going to be rolled out on the full-fledged site, please take a moment to view the political cartoons that have gone up today. The full-fledged site is being beta tested now, and will roll out within a matter of days now.

The first cartoon features Congressman Waxman - whose staffers have done yeoman's work.

The second cartoon features Dick Cheney, caught in the perfect storm, and short on coverage.

Cheers, and have a great weekend!

(not to be confused, ever again, with David R. Smith, the as-yet-unindicted VP of Tax at Dresser Industries, and now at Halliburton)

8. Judging by the Site Traffic...

... that ensued from that e-mail, I'd say that RadFringe is now known to some folks on Capitol Hill!

: )

3. RadFringe...

: )

5. Posted at...

... my site: http://www.HALwhistleblowers.org

Search on "Waxman on the Hunt" to zero in on it (it'll be a helluva lot easier to navigate once the placeholder page gives way to the live site).

6. Thanx... I see it... LOLOL

Behind the bushes LOL... that's a double entendre, I think!
She's done it again! Good job, love!

7. A True Gift

10. :blush:

got tears in my eyes and a grin on my face so big it makes my cheeks hurt..

thanks for your support and comments...

I'm trying to find a publisher (newspaper/magazine/website) that is willing/able to pay for the toons... but being naive about the publishing world, I'm a bit lost on where to go and how to do it...

I did find a few places and am in the process of putting together a submission portfolio, but essentially I'm just shooting in the dark.. any advice/direction you can offer is greatly appreciated

daily toons can be found here: http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwc (you can even sign up to have them e-mailed to you -- and please rate the toons, I've annoyed a flock of freepers who regularly rate the toons low and send me badly composed e-mail comments... ;) )

daily and older toons are here: http://radfringe.tripod.com/radicalfringecartoons/

11. Have a great day,

I would say good luck but with the talent you have you don't need luck

[Buttercup McToots]

12. Good Mornin`

How is everyone taeday?
RadFringe...They are awesome!!

[radfringe]

13. thanks... glad you liked them

it's my way of commenting on the news/issues of the day - condensing a 1,000 words of rants into a toon, and making a few people chuckle


Sunday and Monday's toons are getting a hat tip to Sydnie and SFEXPAT2000 for their ideas... I had a bit of 'toonist block' and they helped clear the 'toobs' ;)

20. All Part of ...

... the creative process - and often, it takes just the slightest nudge to get those juices flowing again!

: )

14. We like your toons too, Spot on!

Hope to see you published someday in the newspapers!

[madokie]

15. We will

[CorpGovActivist]

16. LOL...

... karma worked in overdrive, apparently!

: )

- Dave

[DemReadingDU]

18. oh Wow! just saw Rad's thread

Her toons really are good..especially the Waxman and Cheney toons!

And double Karma - you get more traffic to your site too!

:)

19. Funny How That Works...

... in life, huh? She was sooooooo gracious, kind, and generous about letting me use it. Her work speaks for itself - all I did was provide another outlet for it to be seen, and pointed my list of contacts to it, exposing a new audience to her genius.

: )

21. You Will Always...

... have a welcome home at both:

http://www.HALwhistleblowers.org AND

http://www.BushBunglesBrigade.org

In fact, I'd be more than happy to add The Radical Fringe coffee mugs, etc., here, since I already have the infrastructure in place: http://shop.BushBunglesBrigade.org

[radfringe]

24. The Radical Fringe coffee mugs, heeheeheee

with a warning label - "excessive viewing may cause liberalness" :rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

25. Poifect!

I'm serious - even know a progressive-minded outfit that does high quality graphics transfers to items like that.

26. Democratic Underground Coupon Code

I just set up a coupon code for the Democratic Underground: DU2006, to celebrate the victorious vigil of this community: http://shop.BushBunglesBrigade.org

The coupon code is good for 15% off all merchandise purchases, is good through the end of the year, and may be used an unlimited number of times. More offerings are expected soon.

I think this is what community is all about.

27. Slouching ...

... toward a launch date. Still rough (and the clean site is light years ahead of what's up now).

But there is a separate Halliburton Humor page now.
