Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
This cartoon was published June 22, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. There's a huge crisis happening in Nicaragua, a nation that borders Costa Rica. There is not a civil war going on, but a civic uprising where the president's goons have killed more people than the dictator has in Venezuela. The protests started over... Continue Reading →
I looked up pictures of anatomically correct dolls that are used for victims of child abuse to identify where their attackers touched them. I immediately regretted it. Can you think of anything more horrifying for a child to be put through after the experience of being abused? What probably comes close is being ripped apart... Continue Reading →
Journalists are used to taking hits. Politicians left and right, have always argued and fought with news organizations. There were bumper stickers decades ago that read, "Annoy the media. Vote Republican." The media even comes in with lower approval ratings than Congress. Most ordinary people have issues with their local newspapers, and you probably know... Continue Reading →
The stealing of a Supreme Court appointment from President Barack Obama should not have been allowed to happen, because Republicans are hypocrites and liars. Within the first 24 hours after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he wouldn't allow a confirmation process for any Obama appointment. He kept the...

We've been so consumed with Donald Trump's racism toward Hispanics that we almost forgot his hatred toward Muslims. Yesterday, the Supreme Court, in another infamous 5-4 ruling, gave a victory to Trump's travel ban on people from specific Muslim nations. In doing so, they chose to ignore Trump's own words about banning Muslims. During his... Continue Reading →
Sometimes an angry conservative reader will tell me that I'm adding to the discourse in American politics and society. My response to that is always, yep. It's what political cartoonists do, even the ones you agree with. It's not new. Thomas Nast did it back in the 1800s. But we don't create it. We're just... Continue Reading →
Last week during a trip to Texas for a photo-op at a detention center holding migrant children the Trump administration separated from their parents, Melania Trump wore her now infamous "I REALLY DON'T CARE. DO U?" jacket. Melania's spokesperson issued a statement that the First Lady wasn't sending a message despite the fact there was... Continue Reading →
This cartoon was originally published in The Costa Rica Star June 15, 2018. I am no soccer hooligan because I don't know much of anything about soccer or futbol. But I was aware that Costa Rica made an amazing run through the World Cup in 2014 reaching the quarterfinals. They were one of the last... Continue Reading →
Even before the major reasons why Donald Trump should not have been seriously considered for the presidency, I had a few that may appear petty but point to larger problems with the guy. Trump's inexperience, stupidity, sexism, and racism are all great reasons why the man shouldn't have gotten farther than the rent-is-too-damn-high guy. But... Continue Reading →
Is there a race to the bottom among Trump, members of his administration, his family, and supporters? It sure seems that way. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was giddy a few weeks ago when he announced the child-separation and traumatization policy of the Trump administration. Last week, he quoted Bible verses, that were also used in... Continue Reading →
