I threw this one out to the for the little papers across Canada to run if they want it. It's a revision of a cartoon I drew for budget day during the Chretien era which predated my syndication days:
It worked better as Chretien's time in office was winding down, but I'd say given the enormous size of the federal surplus the cartoon could apply to Harper as well. I'll be working on a barand new one for tomorrow's Spec.

It's experimental, a bit crude, but today's cartoon is animated:

Gareth Lind March 22, 2007 11:46 PM PDT Graeme, I just discovered your blog. Hadn't visited your site in a while. Your work makes me chortle more than that of most other editorial cartoonists. (Even the stuff I disagree with vehemently. It is possible to chortle loudly about a cartoon whose viewpoint you oppose?)
And your drawing style rocks. Love your Harper.
Graeme MacKay March 24, 2007 03:43 PM PDT Wow! What an honour to be visited upon by the great and talented Gareth Lind. If you haven't already, visit the website of his wonderful comic strip/blog Weltschmerz --http://www.weltschmerz.ca. We may be polar opposite on many issues but I still love the way Gareth illustrates issues. His archive is a great chronicle filled with politics from the past 10-15 years. I especially love the Ontario strips going back to the Harris years. Lots of stuff to look at and listen to at Weltschmerz.
