Yesterday I submitted my 70th cartoon to The Jerusalem Post. With today's appearance of it in both the print and online editions, this makes 18 of the thirty I drew since the 309th post published (3 exclusively online). Their subjects were:
Iran (3)
The Palestinian Authority (2)
The "peace" process
Turkey
The Goldstone Commission
Gilad Schalit
Swine Flu
Settlements
Healthcare
Weather
Sabbath
Switzerland
The Demjanjuk trial
J Street
The iPhone

And these are the figures, political and otherwise, that I have caricatured:
US President Barack Obama (six times, once unpublished)
Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu (five times, once unpublished)
PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas (five times, once unpublished)
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad (four times)
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (thrice, twice unpublished)
Fatah Prime Minister Salam Fayyad (twice, once unpublished)
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
French President Nicolas Sarkozy
Israeli President Shimon Peres
British PM Gordon Brown
Jordanian King Abdullah II
J Street executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami
Nazi John Demjanjuk

Plus all of the following who did not make it to print:
Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert
Former Israeli President Moshe Katzav
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal
Former Israeli Finance Minister Avraham Hirschson
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano
Former Israeli MK Shlomo Benizri
Bernard Madoff
Murderer Dimitry Kirilik
Attorney Uri Keinan
Indiana Jones
A gremlin from Gremlins
Me (hidden cameo)

My conclusion? I'm getting better at diversifying my subject matters, and any cartoon featuring Ahmadenijad is a surefire winner (7-for-7).
Here's another peek at an unpublished tidbit!


Doubles as timely since he actually received the Prize yesterday. And yes, that's me (hair whitened) on the left.
