This one had more of a traditional editorial cartoon feel to it, so I decided to try my hand at cross-hatching and make it look a little old-school. That stuff is a pain to color, though, so I think I'll stick to my usual style.

As source material for this cartoon, I used this handy timeline on the NYT website showing the history of U.S. health care reform efforts. Worth checking out.

I'm about to go on vacation, so this ends Health Care Awareness month here at Slowpoke. I drew the next few cartoons ahead of schedule -- something I did not think I was capable of. Posting may be a bit irregular here, but we'll see.
