Two out of three ain’t bad.

My editorial cartoons with Anton Media placed second and third in the 2014 New York Press Association “Better Newspaper Contest”.

Second Place, from the Levittown Tribune:
The judges said, “Mr. Bodkin created a cartoon with a great attention to detail and a good comment on the over assertiveness of the national television media”.

Third Place, from the Syosset-Jericho Tribune
The judges said, “Well drawn” and “Well done”.

Silly ‘ol brains

Our brains seems to have trouble processing the risks of modern life. Deciding to avoid being eaten by cheetahs, we can do. Dealing with statistics, media feeding frenzies and what Carl Sagan would call “baloney”, not so much.

It’s another in my hazmat suit series – and there are more coming. I’m thinking of it as my own personal Cornetto Trilogy.
