Muscle-Brained
Plus a guest appearance!
A big shout out to all my subscribers for faithfully following and supporting me. Thanks to you, I can pursue my mission to keep the flame of satire alight in these darkening times.
Here’s this week’s Substack cartoon.
Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, a former Fox News host, is woefully under-qualified for his post. To make up for his inadequacies, he hides behind a veneer of bombastic, toxic masculinity. The more he struts and sneers the less impressive he seems… and he struts and sneers non-stop.
The artwork started as this 4 inch sketch with a different caption.
Sometimes I prefer the looseness and spontaneity of my rough drawings to the finished products.
Come join me and the multi-talented Jason Chatfield for an hour long Substack Live this Tuesday, March 17th at noon EST
We will talk about many things including Cross-Hatching (I hope to give a demo!)

See you then!







Neither muscles nor brains - you hit it again!
I like the looseness of your preliminary drawing as well, nice and organic…but I think since we are talking Pete Hegseth…that stiffer approach works perfectly! Thank you, Kal❣️ Great cartoon❣️💫
