I have drawn more cartoons in the past week with alligators and crocodiles than cartoons with Donald Trump. I'll try to move on after this unless Donald Trump makes a comment about how much "the" gators love him. After a child was snatched by a gator in Florida there's been a lot of debate about...

Living Pura Vida
Didn't I tell you Claytoonz was going international? I've had my work published outside the U.S. before, many times, but now I'm going to draw two exclusive cartoons every month for The Costa Rica Star. They're also carrying my syndicated cartoons that each of my newspaper clients receive. The Star is in English and is... Continue Reading →
The McCain Blame
On Thursday Senator John McCain blamed President Obama for creating ISIS and having a hand in the attack in Orlando. I guess he forgot about that entire episode where President Bush invaded the wrong country, destabilizing it and creating a world class recruitment center and haven for terrorists. It must have slipped his mind. After... Continue Reading →
Trump Train
After Trump insinuated that Obama was sympathetic toward terrorists (wink wink, nudge nudge), The Washington Post published a story on his comments. Trump reacted by banning the Post from covering his events. He claimed they were taking his words out of context and that he never would insinuate that Obama would be behind such a horrible...

Is That An Alligator In Your Pocket?
I know. Go ahead and give it to me. This is very insensitive and has poor timing. I'm not good with sensitive or sacred cows...or in this case, reptiles. At least I didn't go with my first heartless idea which consisted of an alligator eating Mickey Mouse. Pissing off the NRA, Trump, and Republicans I'm... Continue Reading →
Trump’s Tantrum On Terror
Usually after a national tragedy, the country comes together. People with different philosophical and political beliefs can push them aside, at least for a few days, to unite and stand together. Then there's Donald Trump. Immediately after the attack in Orlando Trump tweeted how people were "congratulating" him on being right. Terrorist attack on our... Continue Reading →
Moment Of Silence
I don't really believe there's a man in the sky who controls everything and all is predetermined. I don't have faith. But when someone says "God bless you" or says they'll pray for me, I appreciate the sentiment. I don't really expect them to work. Prayers don't work but it's nice if you believe they...

Orlando Tragedy
Am I politicizing this? The United States suffered the worst mass shooting in its history this past weekend. A shooter walked into a gay nightclub and started shooting people. At this point 50 are dead and over 50 are wounded. The shooter claims he's affiliated with ISIS. He has a history of homophobia and anger... Continue Reading →
Conservatives’ Prayer
Muhammad Ali was a Muslim, the religion conservatives tell us is so violent and hateful. Meanwhile, Georgia senator David Perdue attended a Christian organization's event and publicly prayed for the death of President Obama. What a sweetheart. The senator was speaking at the conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” event when he said,... Continue Reading →
Alligator Arms
I'm not often amused by Geico commercials, especially the ones with the gecko. He's annoying. But I liked the one with alligator arms. It shows a group of people at a restaurant and one of them is an alligator, who volunteers to pay for the meal. Unfortunately since he has alligator arms he can't reach... Continue Reading →
