The Blue Wave

[mbroberg]

Introducing "Riding the Blue Wave" from Ohio Penworks

This new pen blank features Democratic donkeys surfing a towering blue wave while Republican elephants hurry ahead of the surf—a playful political cartoon inspired by the November 3, 2026 midterm election results.

I recognize that election outcomes bring celebration for some and disappointment for others. This design is not intended to hurt, offend, or belittle anyone who is disappointed by the results. My intention is to capture a piece of history through political cartoon imagery that reflects the political climate of this moment.

Handcrafted in Alumilite Clear urethane resin, "Riding the Blue Wave" offers pen turners a distinctive way to turn a moment in American history into a lasting keepsake.

Just pointing out that there is one too many appendages on the top right donkey. He appears to have all 4 legs and an arm. I'm not sure why that would have been intentional. Perhaps it wasn't so I wanted to mention it.

While I share more than my share of political cartoons, I don't believe this is appropriate here.

I'm curious... If you share your 'share of political cartoons', why do you believe this is inappropriate? Mike was very even handed. Many blank makers here post blanks from both sides; why critique this one?

There were several Trump pen blanks posted several years ago and I don't recall any complaints. I don't see a problem with these.

Just an opinion of mine. I don't share my political cartoons here because I don't consider it appropriate. Yes, Mike was very upfront in his post, which I also appreciate. I can't say that I have seen cartoons from both sides posted this close to a significant election in this neighborhood.

I am only one person and I surely hope no one takes any action based solely on my opinion. That was not my intent.

Not a complaint, just an opinion based upon timing. My opinion would be similar if the representation were flipped to a red sunami.tsunami.

In my book, differing opinions are fine as long as there is no name-calling.

I sell pen blanks and this post is located in my designated little corner of the Vendor Forums. I'd really like this to not turn into a political debate. I ask that if anyone doesn't like the pen blank, or the message/image it contains, just keep scrolling on by. There are others who may be interested in purchasing one. Thanks.
