These were published by the Variety on the dates mentioned, but not in the order in which I prepared them. And of course, there is always a lag of time between an event, my art, and then submission and publication.

I'm a little behind on my blogging--a week without my laptop, and then just a lot to do. But now I have a chance to catch up.

Bright and sunny with a strong breeze continuing to bring cool relief.
This cartoon was inspired by the Governor's actions in the week following his SOCA (State of the Commonwealth Address) where he said he had made mistakes but learned from them, and that he would not repeat them.
Of course, in the SOCA he blamed the Federal government for failing to help enough. Since then he has made no progress on paying the contributions owed to NMIRF. He has abandoned his former plan pushing for pension obligation bonds (reported after I drew this cartoon), with his new mantra being we need "new" investment (and his latest deal with E-land for the purchase of Aqua Resort Club). He has said that he must continue with strong government employment practices and indicated he wants to hire more, despite our bloated government payroll. He has already issued an RFP for a new power plant, despite the questionable need for such an expensive purchase at this time. He has shelved the request for extradition of Ed Buckingham and there appears no likelihood he will do so. And of course, he is gearing up to defend himself in the Senate, recognizing he will lose in the House on the impeachment.
He obviously has not learned anything.
Coincidentally, the Governor's photo in today's Variety with the Mount Carmel School (celebrating 40 years of Catholic education) shows him wearing a yellow tie. :-)
Since I drew this cartoon, the Governor has also avoided the MV news reporters, despite his promise of greater transparency.

It's the start of 2013 and of course, my New Year's resolutions include dieting. I lost about 24 pounds in 2012 (although my target was 40), but I have a long way to go to a healthy body weight. I drew these women to help me and then thought--heck, I'm not the only woman making this resolution. So here it is--Milk diet aid. FWIW.

JacketFlap tags: Marianas Milk, Christmas Wish Tree, Add a tag
Merry Christmas |
This tree was inspired by the tradition here in Saipan where they put up wishing trees at the Paseo de Marianas and kids add their wishes. When I first came to Saipan, there was a special on the radio where they asked school kids their wish for Christmas. I was shocked to hear that most of the kids here at that time didn't ask or wish for gifts like dolls and trucks and stuff, but wished for things like daddy to stop drinking and their older brother to get out of jail and for chicken for dinner. This year the wishes again were similar, with kids wanting peace and safety and family unity.
My tree wishes remember the two little girls who have now been missing for more than a year and a half--Faloma and Maleina Luhk. Justice for Emi refers to the unsolved murder of Emi Romero who was murdered in February after going home from work at Godfather's Bar. The last ribbon hopes for comfort for the now orphaned six-year old boy whose parents were found murdered in their home in San Vicente.

This captures several different versions of the monument-as imagined by me. We see so much finger-pointing by our so-called leaders, and a few even act like clowns, so the finger-pointing version just seemed a natural. Mud-slinging happens-Governor Fitial is especially good at it, but so are others. Those who are ambitious in politics seem to be willing to step on anyone--look at the disaster at CHC, the willingness to have utility rates sky-rocket (and have the poor live without power), the governor's opposition to federal increases in foodstamps. The poor and sick take the biggest hits. And then there is the money that seems to lure in even those who might start out with good intentions.
I personally would have published this one before the final version (which the Variety published yesterday). But I'm not the paper's editor!

Well, obviously, I was wrong. Governor Fitial resigned today
