Earlier this month, I lost my shit over Mitt Romney’s binders full of women comment. I literally couldn’t stop laughing about it. For days. I lived off of the tumblr for several days, and I liked the Binders Full of Women Facebook page. Because, you know, that comment was hilarious. And it so completely encapsulated how out of touch with women Romney is.
So I had fully intended to make binders full of women the subject of this month’s illustration. But then a couple of weeks passed, and for as funny as the concept of binders full of women still is, it’s become a little overplayed, and then something else happened–Hurricane Sandy. I was really fortunate here in Philadelphia, as my power didn’t go out, my basement stayed dry, my neighborhood didn’t flood, and there’s no wind damage on my street (although the trees are looking a little more bare). But I have a bunch of friends in New Jersey and New York, and my heart goes out to them, as I know Sandy was far less kind to them.
Which brings me to this month’s illustration.
