Here’s a sketch I’ve been meaning to do for some time- Kate Gosselin and her little clan of money makers (Jon has abandoned them… well HER at any rate… in the caricature and in real life). The entire “Jon and Kate Plus 8” tabloid saga is so sickening that it’s become beyond sad. It’s the perfect example of how money and fame often changes people for the worse. I have no sympathy at all for the parents, as they have made their bed and at any time could have just stopped it all and gone back to focusing their efforts on their family and their marriage. Instead they embraced their fame and cashed the checks, so they have only themselves to blame for their situation. The kids are the sad part. They did not ask for nor have a say in being part of this circus. I hope they end up with some semblance of a normal life.

  1. Great job Tom! I love how you included the kids in the sketch. It looks just like them. And, I couldn’t agree more with your thought on the whole situation.

    All that’s missing is the bullwhip.
