Mugabe Op-Ed

Yesterday, around 2:30pm, I got a call from Brian at the Times Op-Ed page.   He said something that sounded a lot like "MugabeZimbabweFrailOldbutStillDangerous—and I need it by 6pm!"  O.K., I thought, I guess I'm not watching Oprah this afternoon...
I read the full article, grabbed a brush, some ink, and went to work.  The writer noticed, while she interviewed Mugabe, how he had aged and seemed like a frail old man.  However, there is still a sense of danger about Mugabe because he could turn Zimbabwe into hell by just making a few calls.  I had this image of a frail old person sitting on a rocking chair, which happens to be a skull.  More of the sketches are below.  The article is here.
