Slogans

Slogans : Dry Bones cartoon.
I did this cartoon while Israel still had its defense forces in Gaza. It seems strangely dated now. The resolve of our government seems in doubt, there's a new man in the White House, too much quiet about Iran, and an Israeli election about to take place.

I wonder how this cartoon will look in the future. It's less than a month old and already it feels like a Golden Oldie!!

The "Don't Tread On Me" slogan is from a flag used in the American War of Independence.

Thanks for catching up with me. The Gadsden flag adorns my car's rear window, and it featured as embroidered "sew ons" on my sport clothing, as a small brass plaque by my doorbell, and as a small tattoo I had placed on my right forearm in 1954, as I started my tour(s) with the U.S. Marine Corp.
It is also the official "cruising jack" flown by U.S.navy warships, in it's other form of a horizontal red & white jack with a rattlesnake and the words, "Dont Tread on Me".
Along with the Bald Eagle nothing symbolizes the true attitude and personality of a citizen of the United States of America.(regardless of what Democrats and other socialists may prefer)
"Dont Tread on Me", indeed.

All the slogans in the world will not mitigate the fact that within two short years Israel has gone down in defeat in Lebanon and more recently in Gaza. The lefty traitors led by Olmert has come to the fore once again. Moi fois, how strange these mortals be.

Now I await an answer from that hero of heros annon-y-mouse.

Forgive me, but I don;t think this cartoon was ever "true." I think that Israel made ONE stab at pushing back the terrorists before "You can step on MY face" Obama became president. While there are still those in America who would say "Don't tread on me", they are the minority.

So Israel has abandoned the doctrine and laws of her God in favor of the good old American way?

I suspected as much, but it's nice to see a confession. No wonder Israel has become so bloodthirsty; I suppose her staunchest supporter has sent more than money and weapons across the seas.

"Don't tread on me" is also the slogan of we who are 'car-free', and ride our bicycles to/from wherever we go.

It's all about 'cagers' needing to learn to not run over our Right to (share) the Road (or over us, literally).

NB: And get off your cellphone, when driving that SUV!

Great :)

I've only just discovered your work and am so pleased to have done so!

Am also really loving the background info you are giving us to each drawing :)

My mother used to live in Israel, quite a long time back; I am going to share your work with her and I have a feeling she will love it too :)

Shalom

i just hope obama will be more objective and not 100 % pro-israel as bush and previous presidents, because that didn't bring the peace.
