Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
I had an excellent blog planned out in my head and I started on this cartoon at 5:30 a.m. Then, something struck in my stomach and I've been laid out nearly all day. I don't know if it's the cheeseburger I had last night or that I had two of them. At any rate, no... Continue Reading →
I am not defending Iran. They have instigated a lot of what's happening right now. They are radical and religious fundamentalists. They will probably strike again but through their proxies. And we will probably strike back through our proxies (Yes. We have them too). But you have irrational Iran, with whom it took months if... Continue Reading →
Here’s your 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. Donald Trump has made it clear his assassination (and yes. It was an assassination) has nothing to do with anything except his impeachment. Donald Trump can't stop his impeachment because it's already happened. He... Continue Reading →
John Bolton, Trump's former National Security Adviser, now says he'll testify during Trump's impeachment trial if the Senate subpoenas him. Keep in mind, the Senate is controlled by Republicans who don't want anything that even slightly resembles a fair trial. And what would happen if the Senate did send Bolton a subpoena? Bolton was in... Continue Reading →
Even when it comes to war, Donald Trump fails at being presidential or even at maturity. He threatened Iran by saying he has 52 targets. That's the number of hostages taken by Iran in 1979. He also threatened to hit Iranian cultural sites, which would be a war crime. But his hit of Soleimani may... Continue Reading →
I'm going to be fair in today's column. Not with the cartoon because cartoons aren't supposed to be fair. When Eric Trump tweeted, "Bout to open up a big ol' can of whoop ass (American flag emoji #Don'tMessWithTheBest #USA#USA#USA," he wasn't talking about his father's order to assassinate Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. There's been much... Continue Reading →
As you go off to fight in Trump's war, keep in mind, he doesn't respect you. He doesn't like people who are captured. He said that loud and clear. His supporters love to explain away his comments as jokes are as being misinterpreted, but he made a point to say John McCain is "only a... Continue Reading →
First thing: Don't let anyone say questions shouldn't be asked right now. This morning on CNN, I heard one analyst say Senator Chris Murphy should "shut up" with his criticism of this attack on an Iranian government official. Wrong. Now is the time to ask questions. It's important. Being told to shut up and go... Continue Reading →
It's been about two weeks since I posted any roughs. I'm not going to post every idea I sloppily sketched out since then, but I'll post the more significant ones today. I don't draw a lot of holiday-themed cartoons. I didn't go with this one either. Here's a good example of how not everything works.... Continue Reading →
While greeting the faithful around the Nativity at the Vatican on New Year's Eve, one overly-enthusiastic worshipper grabbed Pope Francis and wouldn't let go. To break free, the Pope slapped the woman's hand twice and stormed away afterward visibly upset. Anyone who's ever attended Catholic school recognized the short slaps delivered with quick precision. They... Continue Reading →
