Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I can't remember the last time I got to draw a crowd scene for CNN. Creative note: This was roughed out at home, then drawn and colored at Starbucks. Music note: I listened to the B-52s. Signed prints: The signed... Continue Reading →
There were two big losses for Russia this week. First, they lost the city of Kherson in Ukraine. Then, they didn't get the Red Wave they were expecting from the Republican Party which was making some noise about ending military aid to Ukraine. It was also a huge loss to Putin's useful idiots here in... Continue Reading →
I had a pretty large work-related task yesterday and I kinda went into a trance while doing it. When it was completed, I realized I had spent four hours on it. I also forgot to post this small batch of roughs. There are eight cartoons here but only seven ideas. You'll see. This rough was... Continue Reading →
Americans are impatient. I've been told that people in other nations can wait in line for hours patiently at amusement parks but here in the states, we do the pee-pee dance and start growling when we think we've been in line too long at Burger King. But we need to learn to be patient because... Continue Reading →
The popcorn imagery is a bit old and a cliché in political cartoons, but I couldn't resist this image. It's another idea I came up with the night before and that woke me up this morning as even in my sleep, my brain was trying to figure out how to put it together. I have... Continue Reading →
The lead editorial in today's Wall Street Journal calls Trump the Republican Party's "biggest loser," pointing out that he lost the 2018 midterms for his party, he lost the 2020 election, he lost two Georgia senate runoffs in 2021, and now he's a loser in 2022. Don't forget that when he did "win" the presidency... Continue Reading →
It's now 2:18 a.m. and I think my live blog is over. It was a blast and I think I produced a higher content of quality over previous live blogs. I usually do these just for elections, but not all of them. Someone asked me how many cartoons I would draw. I never know beforehand... Continue Reading →
Near the end of every election, political cartoonists will draw cartoons saying, "Thank God we won't see any more campaign ads." Some of the cartoonists who draw these are my friends and people I respect, and I have probably drawn these in the past myself, but I hate them. It's generic and they kinda both-sides...

Twitter's new owner, I mean founder (sorry, Elon), tweeted last night, "Widespread verification will democratize journalism & empower the voice of the people." It's really amazing this guy was successful at ever selling anything with that sort of bullshit sales pitch. Elon is selling verifications on Twitter, the blue check. That means you're verified and... Continue Reading →
I still think the most important issue in this election is saving democracy. I try not to be a one-issue voter as I am concerned about inflation, high gas prices, crime, the economy, the budget, climate change, human and civil rights, etc, etc. But will any of that matter when we lose the power to...
