'We Waited for You': Political Cartoonist Honors George H.W. Bush

http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/12/...onist-marshall-ramsey-honors-former-president


The cartoonist who memorialized the Barbara Bush after her death discussed his latest cartoon, which honors George H.W. Bush, Saturday on Fox & Friends.

Bush, who served as the 41st president of the United States, passed away at the age of 94 Friday night, about eight months after his wife.

Marshall Ramsey, editorial cartoonist for The Clarion Ledger, had drawn a cartoon of Mrs. Bush after her death.

The former first lady was shown with open arms and exclaiming "Robin!!" for the couple's daughter, who passed away at the age of three.

Ramsey said on Saturday that the idea his cartoon for the former president came about after his wife passed away in April.

"[Bush] got sepsis, and both my parents who've since passed, they had sepsis," he said. "And I thought, 'This is gonna be tough' but I forgot. It was George Bush. The guy was Superman," he said.

The drawing memorializing President Bush depicts him arriving to heaven in a TBM Avenger war plane, which he flew during World War II.

Godspeed President Bush. This is the bookend to the Barbara Bush cartoon from April. My thoughts are with the Bush family tonight. On a personal note, he was the first president I drew as a cartoonist (I began my career in 1988.)
