Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion Newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday Since this is for CNN and the debate (on CNN) is this week, I'm drawing on this same subject for my newspaper clients tomorrow. They deserve a cartoon on it too. Come back tomorrow to read that blog.... Continue Reading →
There are times when readers don't understand a cartoon of mine. I kick myself when that happens. But, there are other times I totally expect a lot of readers won't get it and I'll be fine with it. This cartoon is one of those. Although stories on this issue have been published by NPR, CNN,... Continue Reading →
The dictators of Russia and North Korea got together last week and had themselves a little dictator summit. What we got out of the summit was bullshit typical of fascists. The only thing missing was Donald Trump. What may be most unique about this summit is that it was in Pyongyang, the capital of North... Continue Reading →
Today's blog of roughs is being written in the lobby of the CitizenM hotel in Washington, DC. I'll be writing and submitting ideas to CNN today and some of that will be on a train going home.

Next thing you know, someone will start a rumor that musicians do drugs. I was working on another cartoon that I do have a lot to... Continue Reading →
I visited my local watering hole last week and the regular creepster was in the joint. This is a guy who seems harmless but he kinda freaks everyone out, because he's creepy. There's just something off about the guy. He seems kinda stalkerish and he makes the female bartender very uncomfortable. Hell, he makes me... Continue Reading →
This was drawn for the Fredericksburg Advance. The editor's note says: Smartphone bans are all the rage right now, with Fredericksburg, Caroline, and King George passing bans in recent weeks. But as we noted recently, bans alone aren’t the magic bullet for all that ails public education. This morning, Clay Jones brings his discerning eye,... Continue Reading →
