Butthurt Alert!

Another Cup of WTF!

“Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.” - Diane Black

This past week the nations number one narcissist directed his Department of Justice to settle another score on his behalf. On Wednesday the DOJ launched a criminal investigation into writer E. Jean Carroll who accused Trump of sexual assault and was awarded close to (KA-CHING) $90 million in 2 civil suits against the President. He was found liable in 2023 of sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll back in the 1990’s in a department store dressing room and then was also found liable in 2024 for defamation.

It doesn’t take much to imagine how infuriating this must be for a person whose orange skin is so micro-thin that it probably only has one side. He lost… in court… millions of dollars… to a woman… TWICE! That was probably a bad day to be a bottle of ketchup.

The current investigation seems focused on the claim that Carroll committed perjury when she testified in the civil suits. In a deposition back in 2022 Carroll stated that she had received no outside funding for her lawsuit, but it was revealed latter that billionaire and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman had assisted her financially with some expenses and legal fees.

This is nothing more than the President still being butt-hurt over losing to Carroll and his ego just can’t accept it and move on. The testimony and financial assistance shouldn’t have anything to do with the rulings on sexual assault and defamation. This is just another example of the most powerful man on the planet attempting to salve his massive ego by going after an 82-year-old woman. on the bright side, I guess that’s better than him going after 13-year-old girls.

Sketches & sketchy stuff…

My initial thoughts when approaching the idea for this panel was to try and draw Trump as Lady Justice and change the name to Lady Weaponization. I really liked the idea of drawing him in a dress, but I also realize that I’ve been drawing him a lot lately so I wanted to try a different approach.

I moved on to drawing a quick sketch of E. Jean Carroll which I liked and decided to depict her as the “target” for Trump’s DOJ on a wanted Poster. I then decided to add money floating around in the background to represent the $90 million she’s been awarded. As I was doing that I started thinking about iconic cash phrases like “Show me the money” or “Ka-Ching”. That’s when it dawned on me that E.Jean (Ka-Ching) had a wonderful cadence. That was the moment that I was sold on the idea and proceeded to the final drawing.

There were some little adjustments along the way. Placement of the dollars and making sure that there was a nice variety sizes to depict depth. I also squared up the Wanted Poster a bit so that it would fill up the horizontal panel a little better.

Final drawing…
