Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Yes, I stayed up all night to watch Kevin McCarthy finally become the Speaker of the House after 15 ballots. One thing that's for certain is that McCarthy enters the office as the weakest Speaker in House history. There are actually a lot of certainties with this, one being that the Goon Caucus or Chaos...

I told you I wasn't going to draw a Groundhogs Day cartoon, but I'm breaking my rule. I didn't want to use Groundhog Day to comment on the current debacle of Republicans being unable to elect a Speaker of the House. I felt it was too much of a cliché since everyone on all the... Continue Reading →
Anytime I hear someone on a news show use an analogy or metaphor to describe an issue, that rules out my using the metaphor in a cartoon. During the Republican primaries in 2016, I may have been the only cartoonist in the country who didn't draw a clown car. Chris Wallace used the term about... Continue Reading →
Republicans have made a lot of promises about how they'll use their House majority. They're going to close the border, go after "unelected" bureaucrats, they're going to cut spending, they're gonna conduct multiple investigations after more investigations, blah, blah, blah. Legislate and govern? They can't even get through the door. Yesterday, two members of the... Continue Reading →
I went down to my local bar last night to watch the first 30 minutes of the last Monday Night Football game of the year which was between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills, which would also help decide who will be the top playoff seed in the AFC. The reason I was only going... Continue Reading →
I want it on the record that I don't like heights. I don't know when it happened because I used to climb trees when I was a kid, but I discovered at 16 that I have an uncontrollable fear of heights. I'm OK inside tall buildings and looking out a window or in an airplane,... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I actually drew this cartoon two weeks ago. I was working with a different editor than usual for the CNN Opinion newsletter and she wanted the cartoon fairly early, and that's what we did. Happy new year,... Continue Reading →
Yes, I dropped this joke in a blog two days ago, and I liked it. I was worried another cartoonist would steal it, but I posted it on a Friday and most cartoonists don't work weekends, especially holiday weekends. Do not expect the Republican-controlled House to accomplish much, if anything, for the next two years.... Continue Reading →
The New York Times writes that Barbara Walters broke barriers for women as a co-host of the "Today" show, a network evening news anchor, and a creator of "The View," all while gaining her own kind of celebrity. Also while covering this iconic journalist who broke barriers, the Grey Lady, (not Walters, the Times) put... Continue Reading →
Conservative men who flaunt their toxic masculinity love to troll liberals on the internet. But it's never a good idea for a 36-year-old man to troll a teenage girl. It's bullying, creepy, sexist, and just wrong. And they especially shouldn't do it if the teenage girl is smarter than they are...which of course, most of... Continue Reading →
