can you tell I don't listen to the news much! It wasn't till today that I heard what happened.
Nice take on simple!

Cindy said...

Funny and perfect for this week's topic! If only Mr. Cheney had this before his hunting trip!

HARDWAX said...

sooo funny, and clever!

Twisselman said...

Ha! Timely. Appropriate. I really hope attorney Whittington pulls through. News today was sorta rugged... For a shot pellet to enter the blood stream and lodge in the heart, makes the wounds sound more than 'minor' and 'superficial.'

Looking closer at your illustration, I can see where the VP could get confused... both have a sorta head feather/tassel thingie. I should know what that's called... what with the quail being California's state bird and all.

Nice job.

Holly said...

Oh goody-another funny about Dick! I think this makes a fine and very funny poster. Thanks for the laugh!

Amy Zaleski said...

Oh man...that's too funny! Still laughing....

Caroline said...

Clever. Too clever...

String said...

Tony, you were SUPPOSED to give it to him last week!

Alexa Brett said...

Oh my Tony, you are brilliant!!! This belongs on the Daily Show...You should email it to them.
I am going to use your little email feature and send it to everyone... I can't stop giggling!!! Yes, it should be simple but however nothing seems to be for this administration.

Ellen said...

LOL! Funny thing is I ran into Mrs. Cheney with her two secret service dudes that same week end in St. Michaels. Otherwise I don't really think about them.

Wee Cottage said...

This is so funny! I love it.

Catnapping said...

OMG OMG OMG

ROFLWMP !!!!!

LMFAO!!!

Catnapping said...

The fact that pellets were able to penetrate the heart causes me to ask if Cheney was as far from the victim as he claims...

And that day's wait to notify authorities...were they waiting for his BAC to return to normal?

Mike Thompson said...

HA!

Kay Aker said...

Cheney ought to have consulted your diagram before embarking on this misadventure and becoming the first VP to shoot someone since Aaron Burr

TXArtcGal said...

ROFL! Good one!!

Ian T. said...

Heehee! LOL at this!

Alina Chau said...

LOL!! Very clever!! Love it!

Aravis said...

Hilarious!!! I'm still wondering if the poor guy was a Democrat, or knew too much about something he shouldn't. Perhaps the fact that he was a lawyer was enough of a reason for Cheney...? *G*

OneSickIndividual said...

brilliant!

carla said...

Your work is awesome. The tears are streaming down my face.

BiscottiDog said...

This is great! Very CREATIVETONY. Do a series of these and you'll have a book and I'll buy it! Plenty of presidential faux pas to choose from...

brandon said...

Aw, hell, we both did pretty much the same thing. Yours has a better setup, but hey, I've got excuses! Anyway.

I'm sure this happens a bunch, especially now that 8,623,524 people do Illustration Friday every week.

Simple, elegant, easy to understand. Great idea for "simple". Thanks for your comment on my "speed" entry!
