My first Substack post!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first edition of The Art of Sack. Each post pairs one of my Sack Classics — an editorial cartoon from my five decades in newspapers — with one of my goofy Fun Art projects. Serious satire meets unserious silliness.

Let’s play!…

Nobel meets no-class

now, if only there was a Nobel category for Psychotic Narcissism.

Fun Art 1. —-Whoopee Cushion

Art takes many forms. Some hang in galleries. Some… make a noise when you sit on them.

For this project, I wanted to come up with a fun promo for my Substack paid subscribers. And who doesn’t love a whoopee cushion?

It was easy. I had my AI virtual robot research custom-made whoopee cushions, get me expense estimates, and do some figuring on packaging, shipping, and postage costs. The rest was quite simple. I made a drawing of our Dear Leader and uploaded it to the manufacturer’s website. The next day they sent a proof for my approval and we were good to go.

10 days later, a big box of them arrived at my door. There’s nothing quite like opening a shipment of your own art, especially when it comes with its own sound effects.

Behold, the official MAGA Presidential Whoopee Cushion — the perfect symbol of Trumpism.

These whoopee cushions are a bribe, …er, I mean “bonus of appreciation” for all of my paid subscribers (while supplies last). Now I just have to mail them out. Was this a fun project? Your darn tootin’!

Thanks for joining me for this first installment.

Now sit on that suspiciously lumpy chair cushion and subscribe!
