Live, from the Rocky Mountain High state, It's The ColoradOscars!
Your host and cartoonist with the mostist, Peter Moore, takes the piss out of the biggest drama queens and kings in the Centennial State. (My latest for the Colorado Sun.)
It has been a dramatic year in Colorado, highlighted by Lauren Boebert’s raucous attendance of “Beetlejuice” at the Buell Theater. Groping, vaping and a middle-finger salute may have been spotted on security cams. Juicy indeed! And then she led a high-speed chase from the 3rd Congressional district to the 4th (Capitol: Sterling, CO), where she anticipated an easy cruise to election. Smokey and the Bimbo IV!
But my wandering representative is just one among many theatrical figures in the Centennial state. Consider these Colorado scenery chewers from a highly dramatic 2023:
Most Original Performance by a person who just discovered where Sterling, CO, is: Lauren Boebert! Again!
Best Serbian-language performance in dramatically describing bodily harm in pursuit of foul calls that will never come: Nikola Jokić! (And his cutman)
Best hide-in-plain-sight menace that somehow has been designated a National Wildlife Refuge: Rocky Flats! Where DNA runs wild, too!

“Serving the people of Colorado's Third Congressional District is the greatest honor of my life.” —Lauren Boebert
Until it wasn’t.
Hit any of the buttons below and it might cause Lauren Boebert’s head to explode. Hey, it’s worth a try.
Peter, phenomenal set of illustrations! Tom
