Occupy Wall Street had not started while I was working on this book illustration; but the debate over whether the US would increase its debt ceiling was ongoing. I created the model for the politician/corporate director from the faces of two politicians that particularly annoy me; the body from a third.

I've long been critical of the US government's history of treaty-breaking with the Nations that occupied this country before the white folk got here.

Why, in a society where "all men are created equal," are the rights of the powerless trampled upon; rather than being protected?

The religious leaders came to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Peter took his sword, and cut off the ear of a servant, named Malchus:
But Jesus said, “Enough of this!”
And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword."
“Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
“How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
