JibJab The Early Show and NBC Nightly News has shown excerpts of the "Your Land is My Land" webtoon. Check it out! It is great. The creative bros. that made it also maintain a blog. The guys are on a roll and their server is on its knees.

Blog Post:
We had a hard time finding the “funny” in this year’s election (unfortunately our Muse does not follow election cycles). We tried dressing the candidates like the Village People, but John Kerry in leather ass-chaps was too frightening for words. The problem we were having was that there were enormous issues at stake, but both the candidates’ public dialogue and the mass media’s coverage of it felt devoid of substance at best, and at worst, downright inane! That’s where we found the “funny”.

We decided a parody of the late, great political song writer, Woody Guthrie, was the way to go. If he were alive, what would he be singing? In a few weeks time we had lyrics, a fantastic music track by my virtuoso sister-in-law, Adrienne, and another perfect performance by the magical Jim Meskimen in the proverbial can. My eye stopped ticking and Evan stopped drawing smiley faces everywhere.
