Check out some rough sketches. Some of these ideas made the cut, most did not. Most of these are from two weeks ago, but I threw a few in from last week.

This is the rough for the cartoon selected for last week’s CNN Opinion newsletter.

And here’s the finished product.

This is the rough for this week’s newsletter.

It didn’t change much. 

This rough turned into…

…this.

No one really got this so I turned it into a Russian hooker pee cartoon, which everyone got.

But it wasn’t this one…but it almost was.

This is a very substandard idea for a political cartoon.

This was OK.

I almost went with this one.

This rough is from last week, drawn Thursday before we knew Trump had covid.

The sentence next to last, “But he still donates his salary back to the…,” I left out the last word which was supposed to be “government.” Also, remember when we were upset over Donald Trump cheating on his taxes? That seems so long ago.

You might see this one again. I may draw it for my clients. I was originally thinking of this for CNN Opinion but then Trump got the covid. Fucking Texas.

I was imagining Trump paying his respects to the Notorious RBG. My proofers and a couple of friends LOVED this one. I don’t remember why I didn’t do it.

Tip Jar: This pandemic is hitting everyone, including your favorite goofy cartoonist. I have lost clients and I’m afraid I might lose more. The PayPal button has always been included here for those who can and want to voluntarily support what I do. I understand this time is hard on everyone. If you can’t, don’t contribute. Take care of yourself and your family first. But, all and any help is greatly appreciated and it helps keep me going. Think of me like a street performer busking out tunes on a corner (I won’t play “Wonderwall.” I promise). If you like the tune, or in this case, toon, throw a buck into the tip jar. It’ll help me play another song, draw another toon, write another blog, make another video, and post another snarky post on social media. It’ll help keep me alive. You can also order a signed print for $40. And if you don’t like the PayPal option, you can snail mail it to my P.O. Box.

You can purchase a signed print of this cartoon.
