Alle Politiker werden Brüder

 This week's VARA cartoon. This time, I imagined how it would look if Dutch politicians used Eurovision techniques for their political campaigns. It would look like the Song Festival itself: terrible, but secretly hilarious.

... and this is how far I got with the previous drawing before finding out the joke had already been made. Next time, I'll really have to find that out before spending all night on drawing one guy's head.

So this is the cartoon I made after finding out my first idea wasn't original enough. Arjen Robben, who missed a penalty in the finals of the Champions League, is consoled by two Dutch politicians - who both blundered their way through the week too.

Try again please

One bad thing about drawing cartoons: once you come up with a new idea, you should check really thoroughly that nobody made the same joke before. At least not on The Internet.
(The solution to the last question, by the way, is Think Of A New Joke.)

This is my first cartoon for the VARAgids website.
Again, the context is a bit hard to explain; but if you understand Dutch, you might enjoy watching this fantastic bit of Dutch television.

We asked the pigeon

Great news!!! My "Voduifone" cartoon actually WON the contest. Thank you all for your votes and kind words!

In the image above, the Voduifone pigeon voices its own opinion on the matter.
