Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox News' Laura Ingraham that made even her eyes bulge out at times. As is usual for a Trump interview, he rambled incoherently, spread a conspiracy theory or two, exhibited tone-deafness, exhibited a touch of racism, praised himself, attacked his opponents and the media, lied, and said a bunch...

After Trump
During the Obama presidency, when a leader and members of his administration spoke in complete sentences, Republicans accused the president of being the most divisive in American history. A conservative colleague of mine wrote repeatedly about how divisive Obama was. But seeing that my friend and Republicans don't use that term in regards to Donald... Continue Reading →
Flying Uglies
Full Disclosure. I drew a "fly, my pretties" cartoon last April. I was concerned it may be too soon for a repeat but one of my amazing proofers, Laura, told me, "April was forever ago and this is good." Honestly, I went with this because I liked the phrase, "Fly, my uglies" too much. The... Continue Reading →
Virtual Haters
I've heard some viewers of the Democratic National Convention say they preferred it without a live crowd. Not me. Speakers need momentum. Playing to a crowd helps with that more than talking to a camera. When it comes to sports, fans don't just make it more interesting, they're part of the game. Fans often distract...

Roughing It, Volume 61
Let's check out some roughs, Kids. And I drew a bunch of them. This was the idea CNN selected for last week's newsletter. I liked the way it turned out and I had a lot of fun with putting stuff on the signs. The only thing I missed with this was drawing these signs sticking... Continue Reading →
Kenosha
Sometimes I'll draw a cartoon knowing full well most of my clients won't run it. OK, it's more than sometimes I do that. But sometimes, you have to say something others are afraid to. Usually, when a cop does something that outrageous America and the police have to actually accept what that cop did was... Continue Reading →
The House That Trump Built
Republicans don't comprehend well. You can scream as loud as the banshee Don Jr is dating and they still wouldn't get it. For the past three nights, Republicans have used their convention to tell us Donald Trump is not a racist while not once showing any support for Black Lives Matter. Last night, not one...

Kenosha Commotion
With a cult following as stupid, racist, and reactionary as Donald Trump's, it's very dangerous when he encourages division and violence. Donald Trump telegraphs his people to incite violence and other times, he's not saying it clear. Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man was shot in the back at least seven times by the Kenosha,...

Diverse Convention
On the first night of the Republican convention, the GOP rolled out minority speakers, you know...whenever a Trump wasn't speaking. There was Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, a black guy here, a Cuban there, and a Puerto Rican who is a true Trumpista because she doesn't know Puerto Rico is a part of the United States....

Family Testimonials
Full disclosure. I too have sisters (two) who don't like me and will say all sorts of nasty things. Things like, "entitled," "selfish," "spoiled," "wasted my talent," etc. But in my defense, I'm not the only person in the family they refuse to talk to (in my case, I choose not to talk to them),...
