Jack Ohman launches fictional candidacy for California governor
Skip to comments
Last week Sacramento Bee staff editorial cartoonist Jack Ohman launched a campaign for governor of California with a fictional character named Joe King.
Jack tells me, “I wanted to create a character who could comment ecumenically on both Brown and Kashkari. I’ll have the ability to comment real time on video when issues pop up, in addition to doing a continuous story line. I expect to post him once or twice per week until the election. He’s a cross between a bunch of different politicians, and will strive to be forcefully vague. For the future. For the past. And beyond.”
The project is an effort by Jack to “broaden my portfolio across multiple platforms” meaning he’s branching out beyond cartooning. Already he writes editorials and a Sunday column. The campaign is also supported by The Bee which provides a videographer to shoot and help edit the video.
