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!…

Sack Classic—-Nobel Prize
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!







Thanks, Craig. Happy to be here. Looks like an interesting place!
Welcome to our world. You will do well here. You're such a major talent.
