Republicans argue that accusing them of racism is similar to the boy who cried wolf. They accuse liberals of playing the race card against them as a cheap defense against criticism. They continue to make this argument without any hint of detecting their own hypocrisy by ignoring Donald Trump's accusation of racism against "the Squad"... Continue Reading →
Punchy Joe
Here’s your weekly cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. There will be two Democratic debates this week on CNN, one on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They're being staged in Detroit. Michigan is a state Trump surprisingly won in 2016 with a huge...

Roughing It, Volume 6
These are roughs from last week. Each of these was submitted for the CNN Opinion newsletter, which was published last Sunday. The reason I'm only showing you roughs for CNN and not the cartoons for my newspaper clients is because I only draw roughs for CNN. All the ideas I have for my newspapers are... Continue Reading →
Extreme Supremes
Take heart, America. The Supreme Court's decision, which they came out of their summer break to render, isn't as bad as you think. Oh, it's bad. It's a terrible, rotten, stupid, partisan decision delivered by five extreme supremes, but there's more context to it than the headlines are delivering. Since I'm a simple-minded political cartoonist... Continue Reading →
Slingers
The Senate Intelligence Committee issued a new report yesterday that Russia probably targeted the election systems in all 50 states in 2016, the federal government didn't adequately warn the states, and the threat persists heading into the 2020 presidential, Senate, and Congressional campaigns. The report states they started the meddling as early as 2014 and... Continue Reading →
Mueller Hearing
Mueller time came with a whimper for many and devastation for others. If you have read the Mueller Report or at least paid attention to legitimate news sources over the past few months, then Mueller's testimony before the Congressional Judiciary Committee wasn't revealing and didn't present any new grounds to impeach Trump. You already knew... Continue Reading →
Boris Baby
Boris Johnson is the new prime minister of the United Kingdom and not the "United Kingston" as Ivanka Trump tweeted. The Princess of Nepotism underscores just how much we have in common with our greatest ally, and that is stupid, narcissistic, racist leadership that may destroy our countries. And the two leaders, Trump and Johnson,... Continue Reading →
Blackface Meets Rickyface
Let's recap. Last February, 35-year old photos emerged of what appeared to be Virginia's governor, Ralph Northam, in blackface at a frat party standing next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan robe. The governor apologized for wearing blackface at the party, then later said he didn't recall attending that party in blackface but did... Continue Reading →
Trump Orchestrates
This is a bonus cartoon which I did not need to draw. It's dated for the 28th, and today's the 22nd. In case you're a Republican, I'm six days ahead. This cartoon could be outdated by the 28th...but Donald Trump is a racist so probably not. Also, I feel guilty for doing so many cartoons... Continue Reading →
Deflection Bomb
In case you haven't noticed, Donald Trump's racist quarrel with "the Squad" isn't about any specific policy or government program. In fact, the majority of Trump's attacks on the four female representatives is over stuff they never said. None of them has ever called America or Americans "garbage." None of them has said they "hate... Continue Reading →
