still another page from my "sketchbook of ugliness"
I've really been getting into making these ugly drawings lately. For whatever reason, I find myself looking forward to the weekend when I can sketch out really unflattering portraits of people who deserve to be captured in such a manner.
Today's caricature is of a member of the "Fox And Friends" morning show which airs weekday mornings on Fox 'News'. I usually avoid that channel because it's nothing but right-wing, pro-Bush, pro-war misinformation 24 hours a day. They call themselves "fair and balanced", but I'm pretty sure they mean that ironically. It's pure crap. And the on-camera personalities are like parodies of actual news persons. I've read that their ratings are way down. What a surprise.
And that brings us to Steve Doocy. He's the 'weather guy' who tries to look like the apple-cheeked, all-American boy next door -- even though he's getting a little long in the tooth to play that part. I guess he has appeal in the red states among grannies with glaucoma who think he's "a cute boy".

You're just peeling away the false faces and showing what's really there. I haven't watched anything related to Fox since the X Files went off the air.

Unfortunately, the New Technology (i. e., new TV, multi-function remotes) don't let me delete things. Not that it made much difference. Every time I'd just finished deleting them, the cable would go off. And I'd have to re-program everything. Then go delete what I didn't want.
So, I don't delete anything anymore. I smell conspiracy.
