Q Toon: The Unveiling

Sure, there have already been plenty of cartoons mocking Donald Crybaby Trump's infantile refusal to accept defeat in the presidential election; but seriously, it's like I've been setting this cartoon up for two and a half years.

June of 2017 is when I started drawing him with a pig's snout, and I am eagerly looking forward to retiring the leitmotif. And everything else about him.

As one after another of Trump's frivolous lawsuits and recounts fail him, The Corrupt Trump Administration finally gave up his obstinate refusal to begin the transition process to the new Biden administration late Monday. Recounts in Wisconsin's Milwaukee and Dane Counties continue, however, in the GOP's on-going effort to disenfranchise people of color, students, and others who have the effrontery to live in urban centers — the GOP's desperate effort to, in fact, steal the election.

And Trump himself still refuses to concede, which we've known for the past four years that he could never bring himself to do.

In this cartoon, I am, of course, anticipating the day when Trump's official presidential portrait is unveiled in a White House ceremony. It is a traditional honor every American president has afforded to his predecessor since 1978, a tradition broken by Trump himself. (Former President Jimmy Carter declined having a ceremonial unveiling of his own portrait, but other than that, the tradition has stood.)

Now I suppose it's unlikely that Soon To Be Former President Trump will commission a portrait of himself as the Pig Baby from Alice in Wonderland. His official portrait is more likely to come from the guy who cranks out hagiographic paintings of Trump wrapped in an American flag and shaking Jesus's hand while walking on water.

Either way, he's unlikely to show up for the official unveiling. Unless that's the only way he can get anyone to pay attention to him any more by then.
