This is another cartoon my readers don’t love. I published it six hours ago and it only has three hearts and two comments on Twitter. It has 25 likes and four comments on Facebook. It only has 18 likes on Twitter. It only has 29 views on TikTok. You would think more people would view it to learn if they hate it.
Before last week’s debate, Republicans were afraid of President Joe Biden. They told us he has dementia, was sleepy, corrupt, had handlers, was a Manchurian candidate, and he would need to be drugged to do the debate. The only thing confirmed from the debate is that he is sleepy.
The Biden Campaign knew they were in trouble before the debate was over which is when they told us he had a cold. A few days later, they told us he studied too hard. Then, they told us he had jetlag…from an international trip two weeks ago.
Stop. Jetlag from two weeks ago? That is not an explanation. That’s a call to be concerned. If it takes two weeks to recover from jetlag, you may not be up to the job. As Joe Biden would say, C’mon, man.
And now there’s a lot of talk that began before the debate was over about replacing President Biden on the ticket. This talk is mostly coming from Democrats. But the people who should not want Biden replaced are Republicans. Before the debate, they were afraid of Biden. Now, they’re afraid he’ll be replaced.
Kamala Haris polls better against Trump than President Biden does. If there’s to be a second debate and the vice president takes over, Donald Trump will probably fill his diaper. If they were afraid of Joe, they are terrified of Mrs. Vice President.
Vice President Kamala Harris is a prosecutor. She won’t fall asleep (which Biden has now said he almost did during the debate) and she will prosecute Trump. She will scorch him.
I apologize for the blog being so late because I’ve been traveling for the past two days. I spent the 4th on Long Island with my friends, Matt and Lucy Davies. I started this cartoon in the morning in Long Island. I took a bagel break with Matt and Lucy, then I returned to the cartoon, took another break to let Matt experiment and play with drawing on my iPad, then returned to the drawing, had help from Matt and Lucy in giving it a title, sent the cartoon to my clients, posted it on social media, took a shower, went out to have a beer with Matt, ate some cheese and crackers, then hopped on the Long Island Rail Road, hopped on the subway, got stinky, arrived at my hotel in Queens, took another shower, wrote blog while air drying (yes, I’m naked), and will go out soon to revisit some familiar parts of the city. Yes, I will put on pants first. This city doesn’t need a Naked Cowboy AND a Naked Cartoonist.
I think I’ll sleep well tonight.

Watch me draw:
I’m still torn whether I want Biden to drop out or not. I’ve been so happy with him as Prez and think he’s done a great job in most ways. I can’t imagine who could take his place at this late date that could beat tRump, but maybe I’m just not familiar enough with all the possibilities. I don’t think Kamala Harris can win because this country isn’t ready for president that’s a woman and black on top of it (Obama just about put all the racists over the edge, can you imagine what a female version would do??) I really like Pete Buttigieg, but this country isn’t ready for him either. I don’t know – and since I have no control over it, I’ve decided not to freak out over it. I just know whoever runs on the Dem’s side, I’ll be voting for him/her. Anyway, I like the cartoon and it’s right on target!

Nope. Don’t love it. Don’t mind you making your living, though. You buck the powers that be plenty.

If it helps, I’ve also written to Michael Ian Black and Mr. Robert Reich about silliness seeming to come straight from the US news outlets. And have not unsubbed, because I’m a civilised human with whom people can disagree and I’ll still bake them cookies.

I am so torn whether he should step down or not but I agree with Peaceful Mary, voting Dem come hell or high water in November. I thought Biden was just going to serve the one term and was surprised when he threw his hat in the ring again. We need the names and accomplishments of younger up and comers floating through the media so the country will be prepared to move on.

I agree with you and Peaceful Mary it doesn’t matter who the Democratic candidate is I will vote for them and blue down the ballot. The GOP is on track to turn this country into Fascist, Christian Nation and I want no part of that. We need everyone who is not happy with that choice to vote blue whoever it is will be much better than Trump or any other Republican at this point in time.
