It has been a while since I’ve collaborated with artist Ed Butler on a “Doofus and Leanie” cartoon (Ed was also the artist for Wii Lean and the satirical “Lean Sensei” app. The recent reactions of GM (layoffs) and Toyota (no layoffs) to the production shutdowns caused by parts shortages caused by the Japan earthquake and tsunami couldn’t be any more polar opposites of each other. Hence the following cartoon.
Cartoons can be accessed via www.doofusandleanie.com, which forwards to its own blog with its own RSS feed if you want to follow them specifically. As always, click for a larger view.
