"Digitally-drawn" pro-union cartoon billboards featured here generated reams of publicity upon their unveiling in 2010! Most importantly, they maximized attention for their issues, and galvananized lots of support.
Above and beyond the billboards themselves, television stations and news websites featured these colorfully caricaturistic cartoon images as openers for newscasts and stories.
"Throughout history, cartoons have gotten people to talking, thinking, laughing — and DOING," says veteran political cartoonist Captain Cartoon. "They boost morale and invigorate campaigns in ways no other medium can." Contact the Captain for more details!

 This drawing was produced for a Congressional candidate, though it features an (ugh) overused "puppet" theme as per his campaign's request — BUT, the all-important point was made. |
