Netanyahu

Netanyahu

Netanyahu himself would be something of an evil cartoon character, if he wasn't actually so dangerous. I gave him beetling black eyebrows, a double chin which is attempting a daring move toward total independence, and eyes which express both petulant self-righteousness and blind anger. I managed to give his head both the length and the solid bulk that it achieves in real life. I always feel sure, when I see him on TV, that when he turns sideways he will disappear. Here, however, I tried to create the illusion of depth.
