Comic Book: character development
By Sovereign Netizen on
Mod Note; this is an attempt to work together and collaborate on a project. If you do not like the project idea that is fine but walk right on by. The comments in this thread are to be about assisting with the project only any other comments will be removed.
********************************************************
We're building a community based Liberty Comic Book. This thread is specifically for development of the characters in the story.
A liberty comic book was well received in this thread, with around +8. This is probably not the only time I'll mention this idea, because I personally would love to hold a copy in my hands.
Quality is important. I'd like to collaborate with the PL members to create something even better than I'm imagining.
First needed is someone to help assemble a cast of talented volunteers. We need caricature artists, graphic artists in the comic book genre, a team of political satire writers, and cool contributions from those not in the professional realm.
We need someone who knows their way around the printing and distribution business. And finally a social media team large enough to make a difference.
The central idea is to create something that can go viral. There can be an online pass around version, and a traditional comic book paper collectors item. The story line would feature our favorite liberty candidates and congressmen as the superheroes, and our foes as the villains, drawn in caricature. It would be colorful and visually pleasing to view, with amazing artwork. The stories will touch on current events and insights into the political world. It will be hilarious at times but never mean. The theme of liberty is consistent throughout, as a learning tool.
Character ideas so far include Hypno-Pelosi, giant McCain Head, and The Trumpet.
Imagine how we would portray Dr. Ron Paul.
I have no idea how such a thing can be birthed on the PL, but I'm throwing it out there. Who's interested in helping with this character development?
Throw your ideas out there, and if it's well received I'll work your idea into the story. Help me think of the main characters pro and con liberty, and how their super power can hint at their real nature without being too cruel. Then we'll later have them all battle... for Liberty.
Characters (developing, please help out)
- The Defenders Massie, Amash, Paul.
- Rand Paul has super powers including the Stand of Rand, Power of Diplomacy, etc.
- Thomas Massie can leap from anywhere to the capitol Dome, so Liberty is never without a vote. He also can shield any and all gun owners from tanks, and bad bills designed to remove their 2nd Amendment rights. His house is entirely solar powered, and his Tesla is electric.
- Justin Amash has the power to do a full analysis on the House Rules to see if they are constitutional or not in .9 seconds. He is an arch enemy of the NSA and the military industrial complex. Has the rare ability to explain the constitutionality of every vote he ever cast.
- The Trumpet can elongate his mouth into a trumpet that stuns his foes with insults. He has the Power of Celebrity. He has The Hair. He's also very rich and knows how to use it.
- The Cruz bears the Power of the Glory and some other undetermined powers.
- Giant McCain Head a huge head ala Headless Horseman, this head can suddenly expand to the size of a city block. He hides the missing nuclear arsenal in his left cheek.
- Hypno-Pelosis has the ability to hypnotize with hand movements and make her victims do ridiculous things, like signing a bill without reading what's in it.
- Dr. No The Champion of the Constitution, a genius inventor and statesman, Dr. Ron Paul has the power to awaken individuals just when things look hopeless.
- The Keynesian Paul Krugman's power is to enslave any person or country through the endless printing of highly addictive magic money.
- Tom Woods a Charlie character from Charlie's Angels (the original, of course). He's the one giving orders, foiling evil plots. His super power is strategic awareness.
- Kill Billary can stun her opponents with her googly-eye, after which they'll believe anything she says, no matter how ridiculous. Her super power is unlimited plausible deniability. And something about a pant suit. She has the additional power to bend and distort herself (her own positions) and the power of the jilted wife (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.)
- Throne of Drones Barack Obama and his army of killer robots.
- NWO Goons are always shown in silhouette. They stay hidden from the public and turn politicians and media figures into mind-controlled puppets who will brainwash and control the people for them.
- Militant Anarchists arch enemies of the NWO goons, a hypothetical anarchist community with its own super-heroes, and how they took over one rural county, and then another, while they deal with threats from the FBI thugs, BATF thugs, special forces military thugs and various other aggressors.
- Cameo Defenders We take stories from our successes and turn them into plots and then show how the guest defender fought for their OWN liberty and how they won a piece of it.

Plot points
We now have a separate thread for general plot development. Help us write the plot of our comic book for liberty.
- Log in to post comments
What about Ben Carson?
Is Carson a liberty champion, or "moderate?" I can see him having a super power whenever he closes his eyes while speaking, which is most of the time. Not sure what that super power would be.
This thread was originally for character development
...but I see many are chomping at the bit to get into some plot development. There are some great ideas already posted here.
On the next thread, I was thinking that we'd start with 'general' plot points, and then work out the detailed plot to fit within, what, 80 pages? How big is a comic book anyway?

Massie's power could be to leap from anywhere to
the capitol Dome. He does this to prevent there being no one on hand to vote for liberty.
He also has the power to shield any and all gun Owners from Tanks, and bad bills designed to remove their 2nd Amendment rights.
Amash has the power to do a full analysis on the House Rules to see if they are Constitutional or not in .9 seconds
I'd love to write for you. I can edit or create.
Comic book plots always start with a state of adversity caused to form a new world wherein a lead is defined as the only hope to resolve the people's aversions to this adversity. The lead becomes the king of how to see this new world. Through the lead's struggle, the people define themselves as two adverse characters in two adverse worlds; synthesized into heroism resolving their victimhood.
Set in circumstances that victimizes the lead first, whom begins the story by setting out to overcome their anti-thesis (villain), plotting out heroism to secure victory from the people. Victory is always the endgame, never resolve. A endgame always setting the final stage of the story between synthesized hero and antithetical villain after resolving all the differences between the dualities caused by the original adversity to the people.
Further sequals are easier to conjure considering the synthesis that appears in the end game of the original story is merely a delusion coming full circle. The thesis the hero is attempting to resolve actually requires forgiveness, and thus never truly synthesizes his soul into redemption. When the hero vanquishes enemies, the hero acts to define themselves in dual worlds of victim and hero, perpetuating new villains to conquer from this adversity. Eventually all heroes wear out their welcome, even for their readers, and the writers take to new struggles, and new entertaining spectacles, but are beaten back by a new environment of comic writers. And so goes the industry.
So comics rely on a adversity causing dualities between victims and their heroes, starting with the lead character and ending with his or her antithesis.
Think of the main adversity libertarians face and plot a series of battles resolving those dualities that are caused by this main adversity. When all the anti-thesis' are vanquished by the lead, set the endgame up with the villain soas to resolve the main adversity by vanquishing the villain. The ending always perpetuates the hero and the victim. The libertarian is the hero, the victim is the people.
Think, first battle progressives, then the neocons, then democrats, then show the people there is no difference between all of them by setting a stage against the true and only villain, the FED.
Some initial concepts:
The FED is a super cpu television screen with octopus tentacles and a fear of pure truth. Pure truth can be made out to be our secret weapon, sending the FED into a rampage against the people instead of us. Once self evident of what the fed is, our lead vanquishes it. But instead of other comics that use violence to kill a nemesis, we will use convention and propriety to forgive and forget the villain. The lead will redeem sound money with song, liberties, and law, which will cure the people of their hypnosis, retracting all the tentacles and enraging the villain to act out. Once alone, the people rejoice and the FED gets sick from retracting all of its poisons from its tentacles at once.
Also, the neocons should be occultic, into bone rites and snake voodoo; sending kingsnakes to cannibalize on any libertarian dens that fester in their republican ranks.
Storyline idea
Here is the story I am submitting for consideration. In case it is not obvious, this story is loosely based on the Canadians who beat back the thugs with a twitter / facebook plea for help, that actually got people to come stand with them.
I am trying to write "comic book style" with little snippets of several stories developing concurrently, and all characters come together at the climax. I have never done anything like this before, so constructive criticism is appreciated. If you don't like the general story line, well... write one you do like. Or give me a plot line, I will try to write it for you. Or both. We will need several storylines.
The names and places can be modified to fit any characters / recurring themes we settle on. "The Floating Isle of Libertopia" is just a "bat cave" type place, it does not have to be a floating isle, for instance.
I have tried to proof this. I flop back and forth on my tense, I tried to correct that. If you see ones I missed or any other glaring errors, please point them out. It is hard to do a final proof of something you wrote, you see what you meant to write. (A variant of user1's thought experiment.)
*Food Fight*
The sun was breaking the horizon on what looked to be another beautiful autumn morning. The farmer was just cleaning up the milking equipment when he hears vehicles coming up the drive. They seem to keep coming and coming, maybe a dozen total. Each vehicle is painted as black as the hearts of the Zomborcs behind the wheel. (Like my villain? Zombie - cyborg - orcs? lol!)
"Sarah! Call for help! We are under attack!" the farmer frantically cries out to his wife. As the first SUV comes to a stop, 4 doors fly open and Farmer John is staring down the barrels of 4 semi-automatic weapons. More brakes, more doors, more weapons. John starts to put his hands over his head, as if to show he is unarmed and without intent to harm anyone, then he remembers who he is dealing with.
Jamming his hands into his pockets, he glares at the nearest Borc. "Get the hell off my property" he growls.
The Borc laughs his reply "After we make sure you are in full compliance with all pertinent codes and regulations." He looks over his shoulder, nodding his head to another Borc. "Start the inspection."
"Not so fast!" says John, stepping between the second Borc and the milk barn. "I'll need to see your credentials and a warrant before you take one more step."
***
Sarah is just cracking eggs into the pan, knowing John will be back inside and hungry as a bear in just a few minutes. She tosses the eggshells into the compost bucket and glances out the kitchen window. A string of black SUVs are turning down the driveway. John is still in the barn, cannot see them coming. She thinks about running to him, but realizes they would both be pinned if she follows that instinct.
She sends out a tweet as she runs into the den. Her facebook account is already open. She posts three words: "Borcs! Please Help!" before she returns to the kitchen window. John is there now, having a standoff with the Borcs. Calmly, she lifts her rifle to the window ledge and puts a finger on the safety, while saying a silent prayer to let everyone live through this, even the Borcs.
***
The Floating Isle Of Libertopia is gently bobbing on turquoise tropical waters this morning. The Alliberati were just getting started on their day. As The Good Doctor sits on the deck watching the seabirds catch their breakfast, he sips his glass of fresh, raw milk. "Deee-licious" he says to the birds, raising his glass in a toast to his fellow breakfasters.
Just then, his phone begins to jingle at him - it is the Tyr-Alert ap, indicating someone is in danger of finding a jackboot on the back of their neck. "That is just not right, on such a fine day, too" he says to the birds as he makes his way to conference room.
***
Marla grabs her cup of coffee and logs on to her computer. "Let's see what is going on in the world today" she says to Bill. After looking at a few headlines, she opens her facebook account.
"Bill! Sarah and John need our help! BORCS!!!" Marla exclaims..
***
Jenny is walking up the stairs to her first class that morning when her phone begins to vibrate. "Not now, I have a huge test this class" she thinks, but compulsively checks the screen. Fear grips her heart when she sees the three words on her screen. Fear quickly changes to anger, and she runs to the top step, curving her binder into a bullhorn and shouts for all to hear, "BORC ATTACK! Follow me!"
Jenny runs for her car. She hears footsteps, there are many people running behind her. She sincerely hopes none of them are Security.
***
"I'm telling you Emma, there were at least a dozen cars." Jeff is grabbing his rifle and headed for the door.
"You are sure they were Zomborcs?"
"Absolutely certain. All dressed in black, faces covered by shields, armed to the teeth, and driving up to John and Sarah's farm."
"Then you be damned careful. I'll get up to the attic with the scope and try to cover you from there, but that would be a really long shot. Don't make me have to try to take it, OK?"
Jeff kisses Emma's forehead and walks out the door.
***
"Get in!" Dave pulls over and waits for Jeff to get himself seated.
"You see them too?" Jeff asks.
"No, I just got a text from Sarah. Headed this way quick as I could."
There is something of a traffic jam, for this rural area. All the cars are making their way to John and Sarah's.
Looking at the vehicles ahead of him, Dave says "Looks like half the county is here already."
Jeff replies "And more are on the way. I got a text from Jenny, she is bringing a convoy of kids from her college."
Dave says "Well, we all have known this day would come, we just did not know which one of us they would attack first. Crazy! We are FARMERS. We FEED people, and we want to feed them food that will make them healthy and happy. For that, we are hounded by Borcs?!"
***
The wall screen comes on, the lights dim in the conference room. Images begin to come into focus, it is John and Sarah's farm. The Judge shakes his head and sighs. "Well, looks like someone is about to be protected from the horrific fate of... drinking a glass of milk."
The Good Doctor is staring intently at the screen. "That certainly appears to be the situation. This operation looks pretty straight forward. I think we can win this battle with a Truth Bomb and the Mass Resistance machine. Everyone, go dispatch the alarm to your networks, then meet me back here in 5 minutes."
***
"Well, I hate to see John's pasture get beat up but looks like this is where everyone is parking." Dave pulls his pick-up truck in beside another.
As Dave and Jeff walk toward the crowd, Dave asks "You ready for this?"
"How can you ever be ready for this? But here it is, and here we are. It seems we are ready enough."
Dave glances toward the sky and says "A little help from above would sure be nice."
***
Jenny whips her Metro neatly between two large trucks. She smiles at the line of cars snaking into the pasture. "Junkers and clunkers!" she says. "None of those look like Security!"
Frat boys Mike and Roger approach Jenny. They begin a two man chant "Don't touch the cow! Just leave NOW! Don't touch the cow..."
Jenny joins in "Just leave NOW!"
Soon there are dozens of college students chanting and walking up the driveway.
***
John still has his hands in his pockets. Marla is there in her robe and fuzzy slippers, face to shield with the Borc who is apparently in charge. She is waving her coffee cup at him. "I like CREAM in my coffee. Not homogenized, pastuerized, pus-laden half dairy product and half God knows what! CREAM!"
*
Sarah has a more relaxed stance at the window, thinking to herself "The Borcs do not seem intent on violence at least."
*
Above John's head there suddenly appears the Alliberati. Having stood silently defiant for all this time, John sees all of his friends and nieghbors, and many people he does not even know, pulling into the pasture. He suddenly finds himself armed with facts and compelled to speak.
***
(Research raw milk facts - insert best 3 as John's speech. Before each one, an Alliberati "bubble" head prompts him. Three direct quotes from liberty leaders would be best.)
***
The crowd arrives, chanting. John sees Dave as he nears the barn and calls out to him. "Pass out the milk!"
Dave swings open the large, commercial fridge, and begins a "bucket brigade" passing gallons and half gallons of milk to the crowd who double the volume on their chanting.
Soon each Zyborc is surrounded by milk toting, chanting activists. Isolated from each other, they each begin to back toward their vehicles.
***
Page of 6 neighbors, each laying a "truth bomb" on a Borc, prompted by an Alliberati team member.
***
From the crowd, a little old lady emerges. She is brandishing a half gallon of milk, it takes both hands.
"Douglas Robert Campbell, you KNOW better!"
The Borc leader's posture suddenly shifts from "tough guy" to "little boy with hand in cookie jar." The Borc steps up toe to toe with her. "Aunty! Now stop it! I am just doing my job!"
The old woman flips his face shield up, looks him straight in the eye. "No, you are doing the job of evil men who command you. YOUR job is to defend the Constitution. You show up here ready for war, on a FARM. You should be ashamed. What would your mother say? You know she raised YOU on raw milk. Now you are here to pretend it is not safe?"
"Look at these people. They sign your paycheck. Your understanding of what your 'job' is is more like cutting off your nose to spite your face and those shields cannot protect you from that. Nobody here needs your "protection" and nobody here wants any trouble. Since you are the one who brought the trouble, you need to drive it right back out of here."
The crowd resumes its chant.
***
The crowd clears the way for the Borcs to return to their vehicles.
Inside the last car out, with the leader at the wheel, the passenger removes his face shield and looks at the driver. "Your aunt is one tough old bird."
The driver replies "She's our aunt, not just mine. I guess you just never met her. I have not seen her since I was a kid."
The passenger replies "How can she be 'our' aunt? We are related."
"Well, in a way we are. That was the estranged wife of Uncle Sam. They used to be inseperable, but over time he just drifted away from Aunty Tyranny."
Is there an armchair editor in the house?
It is not an emergency, but this patient could use some attention.
Nice. It builds the tension and suspense
It sounds like your material and that from Chris Parker would fit in the same narrative. That would be more of a Residential Battle comic book.
While I'm not shooting down the idea of incorporating these themes in the Defenders story line, it's starting to feel like they should be separate comics. My original intention was to create a comic book that Massie, Amash and Paul would be proud to pass around as a novelty that supports liberty candidates getting elected. The superheroes and villains have silly super powers, and the story lines hint at current events affecting liberty. I'm not sure a "western shoot 'em up" set in your neighbors' driveways helps that theme. It's an exciting theme, and I'd like to hear how this story comes out, but can you picture Rand passing around a comic with him involved in urban warfare against DHS?
All I can think of to marry the two stories is if the Defenders came from DC and helped to quell the conflict before it got out of hand. But I'm guessing that's not where you want to go with it.
Shall we consider the story you started as possibly a separate comic book? Instead of a creative election year comic, it could be more urban warfare oriented.
Lol!
Cat herding. Even when we are on the same page, we see something different.
I have long choked on the "external hero" as a concept, I may not be able to come up with the kind of plot lines you are looking for. I will certainly try to play with any storylines others suggest but do not feel able to flesh out, but I am a little "herophobic."
The Shaman
The wise and powerful shaman that occasionally counsels those in time of need.
We've got one of those
That would be Dr. No, right? Do you have anyone else in mind?
I feel like we're still missing some characters
I feel like we're still missing some characters. Who have we left out, who are the heroes and villains of liberty?
Chuck Baldwin deserves his own Hero Role as part of the
Black Regiment, which has been restored from the days of the Declaration of Independence.
why do I say that?
http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/
Michael Nystrom should have his own role as a Hero, as should Publius Huldah,
http://popularliberty.com/7446/publius-huldah-fire
Obama could have a villain role as the "Throne of Drones"
Personally , I believe Barbara Boxer should have her own villain role as well, for a variety of reasons: some of which can be seen here:
http://www.thenewamerican.com/freedomindex/profile.php?id=B000711
With Rand's comments:
Lynch also supports civil forfeiture, which is certainly an unconstitutional violation of private property rights, and deems it an "important tool of the Department of Justice." As Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) stated in early February when explaining his opposition to Lynch's nomination, "She remains non-committal on the legality of drone strikes against American citizens, while I believe such strikes unequivocally violate rights granted to us by the Sixth Amendment.... Mrs. Lynch also supports President Obama's calls for executive amnesty, which I vehemently oppose. The Attorney General must operate independent of politics, independent of the president and under the direction of the Constitution. I cannot support a nominee, like Mrs. Lynch, who rides roughshod on our Constitutional rights."
My son says Barbara Boxer should be "Barber/Boxer": Her slogan: "Cutting in on your property rights " HER SECRET IDENTITY: California Hairdresser.
I like some of these
What is Nystrom's super power? It's best if it lampoons something in his real life.
I've added "Throne of Drones." Brilliant!
Lynch could be a good one, being a name everyone recognizes on the national stage. She has the power to... make anything of yours disappear in forfeiture? We can use some suggestions to develop this character.
Barber/Boxer is cool, kudos to your son. Presumably she does most of her damage in California, as I haven't heard her name much. Do you think she's enough of a national figure?
Nystrom's power might be :
to Resist Hero Worship, which the MSM (an agency of tyranny) tries to use against the Liberty League.
I like the idea of her being able to absorb by telemetric transport to her domain anyone's property if not defended by local heroes.
As far as Boxer goes, she may not be in the news much, but she does have quite a bit of power behind the scenes: (read it and weep!)
Senator Boxer's PAC has helped elect more than a hundred strong Democratic candidates to Congress, while fighting for the values we share.
www.barbaraboxer.com
I would say she does most of the damage in Cal., but she sometimes teams up with Pelosi and Clinton to damage one's rights. She is as dangerous if not more so than the others, because she does her damage covertly.
Comic Book Idea...
Hi guys. Jon from Lampoon The System here. Thanks for sending me an email about the Comic Idea. I do think it's a great idea, but I don't think I'll have time to participate. It's a very expensive, time-consuming process to develop individual cartoons and I assume it's even tougher for a whole book. I do the writing and design for my cartoons and then pay artists for the illustration and use CreateSpace.com for self-publishing, so you guys can check that option out. Between my day job, family responsibilities, and other projects, I just don't have the time for another large project.
Thanks, Jon
Thanks, Jon for the tip about CreateSpace. I'd really enjoy hearing anything you can offer for advice, with your experience in publishing. But I can also understand if you have a busy calendar.
I have an idea about the "heroes" of the stories
We could have the team of liberty defenders, and in each episode there is a rotating "guest defender" and that cameo role is filled by us. We take stories from our successes and turn them into plots and then show how the guest defender fought for their OWN liberty and how they won a piece of it. I am cooking up a story line right now, will post it in a few days.
Please do not mistake my absence the next couple days for disinterest. Just got the barn finishes (YAY!!!) and have a couple days of serious work around here.
I like fishy's idea...
but as long as we're being imaginative, I'd like to have a hypothetical anarchist community with its own super-heroes. I can provide you a background story of how they took over one rural county, and then another. Then you can chronicle how they deal with threats from the FBI thugs, BATF thugs, special forces military thugs and various other aggressors. One can imagine this to be quite action packed.
You want to bring up the possible drama of the thugs dropping nukes in a rural area of the former United States? Fine. We can work that in.
Cool stuff
Is the liberty story complete without the grass roots victories? Nope. I like the scope of what you've suggested. It sounds like an excellent idea for a comic book of its own. I'm trying to picture how we can weave these threads into the Defenders' super-stories.
Perhaps the NWO goons and the militant Anarchists can be arch enemies. Their battle can be one going on in the background, a sort of ongoing cold war, separate from the issue-based battles the superheroes are fighting.
Political candidates don't really involve themselves with this stuff, do they? So I'm wondering how we can incorporate the anarchist story line without anyone getting hurt in an election year. Which of the main characters so far have any real life relationship with the topics you've suggested? We can start there.
Can't forget Hillary
She has the power of the Googly Eye and unlimited plausible deniability. She can teach others to use the Googly Eye, and her first apprentice was Hypno-Pelosis. Perhaps we can have a scene where they are doing it together.
Help me refine this character
While the googly eye thing can be funny somewhere, I'm not sure that's the best super power for evil we can assign to Hillary. Definitely keep the plausible deniability, and probably the googly eye, but what else?
The Power to bend and distort herself
(her own positions)... the power of the jilted wife (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned)....
Something about a
pant suit
uh.....
I really should be getting to bed, but I logged in just to say hahahahahhaha, oh the pant suit!
update: holy shiz you weren't kidding!
Maybe we could call her
Chameleon Pantsuit. (Note: her hair styles change quite often, as well) or make it an alias. Maybe simply "The Chameleon" as an alias or she could be a witch with a chameleon as a 'familiar'.
holy schnikes!
holy schnikes!
Since I LOL'd the moment I saw that
It has to stay in! Ah, but what's the associated super power unique to this pant suit?
Damn
I was going to suggest Ben Garrison. Good liberty cartoonist but it looks like he's a Trump supporter now.
That trumpet thing
would probably turn off a hardcore Trump supporter. However, I feel this comic book should be kind to Trump, Cruz, etc. to the extent they actually support liberty. They will be useful characters and do good things in the story. Perhaps they'll help save the day.
Yeah, I like the idea
of each character having strengths/weaknesses against the NWO and not just being good or evil.
Of course, the ultimate villains would be those leading the NWO, who are always shown in silhouette. They stay hidden from the public and turn politicians and media figures into mind-controlled puppets who will brainwash and control the people for them. Some characters will easily, even willfully succumb, but others will use their powers to resist. For example, if the NWO tries to mind-control Trump, he can use his superpowered hair to fight them off. :-D
The plot could be a race against time to save everyone on earth from being turned into brainwashed slaves and losing their freedom forever.
Great stuff
Superpowered hair. I love it! I can't yet picture how we'd draw a cartoon of that. Maybe the hair can turn into a helmet when necessary. Or maybe his hair spray can be a weapon.
I added the NWO goons to the cast.
I was imagining his hair
taking the form of a fist and swinging at bad guys. But there are a lot of different things you could do with it. Maybe he wraps himself in a hair cocoon. lol
I like the hair cocoon.
The hair has to do something, doesn't it? What superhero guy with hair like that wouldn't have it do something amazing, right?
How about
The Trumpet enlists Flock of Seagulls to join him on a secret mission or something?
or maybe a hair
racoon?
A villain character
based on Paul Krugman!
Maybe Tom Woods could help...
http://popularliberty.com/8413/contrakrugmancom-its-here-paul-krugmans-n...
Yes! The Keynesian
What is his super evil-power?
And Tom Woods is a good addition. What's his super power?
I see Tom Woods as
a Charlie character from Charlie's Angels (the original, of course). He's the one giving orders, foiling evil plots.
Added them both
Thanks. Let me know if you can flesh any of these out with a little more zing for each character.
He's a Keynesian
His diabolical plan is always to print more money!!....
Print more money
to what evil end? To Enslave Mankind Forever? (Insert evil laugh here.)
What about the guy
that used to do the Bernanke cartoons at the DP?
Lampoon the System was his user name, http://archive.dailypaul.com/user/58179
How can we reach out to him?
How can we reach out to him? I wouldn't want to dump all this on one artist, we'll need a few.

Style of caricatures - examples for inspiration
We can work on the style of caricatures in a different thread soon. I'd love to find talent along these lines.
