Well, as you can see above, Fred, just Fred is at it again. He protested that his latest creation, featuring Obama's swearing-in by Chief Justice John Roberts (no love with the bald spot) is not finished, so he wouldn't pose with it. But he did prop it up so we could get a better snapshot.
While the artwork we've seen speaks highly of Fred's talent, the fact
he had ample time to make such detailed portraits on the job speaks poorly of
the newspaper industry's present and future (it's not as if Fred is turning away customers so he can sketch). So, folks, if you ever
needed more impetus to keep newspapers afloat -- remember, if they go
under, how will Fred find the time to draw?
