Really? George W. Bush is having an art show [ http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/simple-kind-of-man-george-w-bushs-post-presidential-painting-career-20140414 ] at his presidential library featuring his painted portraits of many of the big important people who he met during his presidency? Okay, I just couldn't resist this one. He's capturing emotion! He's showing Putin's personality! Look! He painted a cuddly duck [ http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/george-w-bush-gifts-baby-granddaughter-painting-masterpiece-article-1.1755766 ]

for his grandchild! (Cartoon not necessary for that one.) He's trying to paint his way to a nice cuddly legacy.

Methinks there are a few other things he should be painting. If he's not forced to paint the victims of his reckless foreign policy in real life, at least I can make him do it in my cartoons. Please, Dubya, visit a disabled veteran's house and ask him to sit for a portrait. Oh wait, I forgot, your portraits only come from the top searches [ http://time.com/55491/george-w-bush-paintings-google-images/ ] of Google.

Alas, one can only hope. If only Bush really wanted to capture the pain, loss and suffering of his ridiculous war escapade. He'd have to make so many visits to Iraq, a full C-130 full of art supplies would be required at regular intervals. Enjoy the cartoon and pass it along to your favorite ex-president hobbyist painter.

Transcript:

[George W. Bush]

Howdy! And welcome to my George W. Bush Presidential Liberry Art Show, heh-heh!

Show's called, "The Art of Legacy: Paintin' My Presidency."

I'm a painter, too! Heh-heh!

Now let's start off with this one. It's kinda' a conceptual, abstract thingie I painted in the bathroom, heh.

See, I squinted real hard so's I could see a mushroom cloud. . . and when I covered my left eye and blinked real fast with my right, I could see Al Qaeda-- so I painted them right there, all mean like.

Aaand, then . . . invaded Iraq.

Y'know, sometimes you just wing it when you're paintin'.

Like all this chaos and civil war killin' popped up, turned out kinda' ugly.

So I painted myself as an Angel of Democracy descendin' on the desert!

An' that's what people will see in this paintin' forever and ever. Democracy, right? Heh-heh, right?

An these ones-- I found all these pitchers on the internet a' these young fellas without legs er sometimes arms and stuff.

And I thought, wull, that's not right (and looks kinda' strange), so's I fixed em right up here!

Painted 'em up real nice with some limbs. You're welcome, fellas!

See, that's why I like retirement.

I can take images like this, where folks are sad and have some kinda' traumatic brain injury after multiple redeployments er some such . . .

. . . and make 'em happy! At least in my liberry.

You'll see I've done a lotta' desert-paintin', but I really liked paintin' island scenes, too.

Why, if you mix a little Sunshine Yellow with some darker Enhanced Interrogation, you'll get actionable intelligence!

(At least if you're carrying my artistic license, heh-heh.)

And finally, it's not just been islands and deserts-- I love paintin' mountains, too! Afghanis and what not.

I kinda' got side-tracked on this one . . . kinda' a work in progress I guess.

Heh, that's just a slice a my paintin' and re-paintin'.

I'm a busy retiree, ya' know?

So, enjoy the Liberry and Art Show . . . and be sure to keep enjoyin' my legacy! Heh-heh!
