This was a fun one to draw because of the characters involved. The subject matter is not fun... but hey, my job is to find the satire in what's available. I based the John Baird drawing on a cartoon image of Frankenstein. He does have a really big head, and I remember Baird from his days in the Provincial scene when he competed with several others of his party on who could be the most smug and condescending, while terrorizing many of the "villagers". Unlike the real Frankenstein, who had a good heart, but was just stupid, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time, most of the Harris government, I gotta believe, knew exactly what they were doing and who they were doing it for, and who they were doing it to. ... And even though I didn't really think of this at the time, Dr. Frankenstein had a funny little, lab assistant who ran around doing his biding while he created his "monster". Hello, Larry.
