American playing cards: king of spades

: King of Spades

During the 2003 Iraqi invasion, US troops were provided Iraqi playing cards depicting the most wanted criminals. Naturally, after such a bizarre handout was given to the armed forces to aid in identifying and capturing these individuals, I thought it best to develop an american version so we would have such obvious cues on who to lambast. In departing from our normal media for The Fowls Gift, the Joker and King of Spades are painting on canvas…but I just had to share these works after I unearthed them in my “studio”, otherwise known as my closet. Think I should complete the set?

The Joker

I couldn’t dignify George with the King of Spades since that implies somekind of mastermind. His talents are better suited to this role.

Kidnappers consider the iPhone

I live in the bay area and it is a sea of iPhones. I’ve come to realize that people are so attached to them that they pass out with these things laying on their chest let alone never leave home without it. If it’s lost, it’s as if one is experiencing phantom limb problems. The hand reaches out to find air, no phone, and as it’s as if the soul has been torn out.

Thus, if you’re a in a pinch and seeking to find one of the only things capable of rendering a grown, upwardly mobile business executive into a puddle of terror, it would be to snatch away his iPhone. All previously stored contacts – gone. Coupon apps-gone. All previous map history perilously close to being deleted.

Are you spent?

We are entrenched in such a dilemma as a country– we need to be spending money to recover not just our own economy, but others around the world that own much of our debt, yet with unemployment rates climbing towards 10% Americans are reverting to saving more spending less.

Really, we need to start producing something (other than continuing to print devaluing money).

Also, does anyone else think he looks a bit like W?
