Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
The cartoon I published this morning criticizing white terrorism was initially blocked by Facebook, citing it violated their "community standards." I thought, if that violates your standards then you need to reevaluate your standards. I submitted it for a review and Facebook unblocked and apologized for the ban. What I suspect happened was, a Trump... Continue Reading →
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.

When I was working at The Free Lance-Star in 2001, I tried to get cartoons past my editors that were against profiling Muslim-Americans after 9/11. I didn't have a lot of success. While not officially endorsing profiling, the paper didn't rail against it. Even then, the majority of terrorist attacks on Americans were committed by... Continue Reading →

He claims on his website and in campaign material that he tried suspects accused of funneling money to Hamas. As it turns out, that's not true. He never prosecuted a case in the matter. He was an...

The United States is facing a new threat that the new Director of National Intelligence needs to identify, and that threat is the new Director of National Intelligence. Donald Trump likes to use the phrase, "I never was a fan of..." in regards to some person or some thing. Like, "I never was a big... Continue Reading →
Each of these roughs was created for CNN Opinion to choose from for last week's newsletter. I started creating these before we started talking, which was when I discovered they weren't interested in any of the subjects I covered. That's my fault for sketching before I talked to them. I started working to get a... Continue Reading →
The owner of one of the online news sites who subscribes to my cartoons emailed asking if I was going to draw a cartoon about Mitch McConnell. He mentioned that "MoscowMitch" was trending on Twitter and that the Senate Majority Leader was upset over this, which meant the editor was going to run every single... Continue Reading →
If you're out there defending Donald Trump from accusations that he's a racist, and you really believe he's not racist, the feelings are not mutual because Donald Trump believes you're a racist. Donald Trump believes that you are so racist, that throwing out racist dog whistles so loud that cats can hear them, will strengthen... Continue Reading →
