As Resident Cartoonist of CBS News, I was invited to create animations for a story on CBS This Morning. The story is about people who wear “uniforms.” Not the traditional police or nurse type of uniform, but clothing they select and then buy numerous sets and wear every day.  Like Michael Kors and Steve Jobs, for example.

When President Barack Obama was in office, he wore the same type and color of suit all the time. Remember when he appeared on tv in a tan suit

and the Internet went wild with speculation? I immediately drew this image to the right as I watched him on television. No one listened to what he said, which was a serious talk about terrorism.

Steve Jobs said if you wear the same thing all the time, people will listen to what you are saying and not what you are wearing.  I believe this, and acknowledge that this can be a complicated discussion when it comes to gender.

The animations were integrated in a very creative way, I was thrilled to be a part of this.  Here is the link to the story, and the drawings are below. CBSN’s Vlad Duthiers was the correspondant who told the story, and performed an interesting workplace “experiment.”  Kira Kleaveland was the creative producer of the piece.
