Idea for a political cartoon and open to a group edit. →[More:]

Spanning the background, left to right: a Disability Claims Center of the Social Security Administration, a Federal courthouse and a quite secure bank

From left flank: 3 lines of well dressed, well fed, and very healthy lawyers stream into SSA. Due to perspective, the nearest lawyer should dominate the left edge.

A single sparse line of exquisitely dressed lawyers walks away from SSA through the county courthouse and straight to the bank, counting their money along the way.

Foreground: a diverse mix of obviously sick (one or two dying even), obviously poor and obviously stressed adults, some with kids wearing flour sacks.

The flow of focus should follow the same path as described above.

In the style of Dave Berg (so I guess one of the kids should be picking her nose).


I'm lucky. I have private disability insurance to cover my wait through this process as well as to pay the lawyer's fee. However many more have nothing whatsoever, and I can easily imagine the stress of the process taking its own fatal toll.

Feel free to rip this idea apart and rewrite it. Brainstorm it, in fact.
