Insider trading is trading in the stock market on confidential information. It's not just frowned upon or a no-no. It's illegal. It's especially worse when done by elected officials because they're supposed to use classified information to help the country, not help themselves. Several senators are being accused of insider trading after dumping stocks before... Continue Reading →
Don’t Stand So Close To Me
Here’s your 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. It really boggled my mind Saturday that Mike Pence was on a podium with the President (sic) of the United States, along with a dozen other people, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, sharing a microphone,...

Roughing It, Volume 37
I didn't draw as many roughs last week as usual. But out of the small number, five of them became fully-grown cartoons. Let's check them out. This was not my favorite cartoon from this collection, but it was my favorite for the CNN Opinion newsletter. My editor, Rich, wrote a brilliant and wonderful column and... Continue Reading →
Famous Last Words
If you want to, feel free to print this out and use a Sharpie to write the names of yourself and significant other on these characters. Don't use the Sharpie as a weapon. We're day 6 in the federal government's request that we self-isolate. Have you killed anyone yet? I'm fortunate in that I live... Continue Reading →
Bouncy Bouncy Beach Bums
Everybody is stressing out over this pandemic. The concern goes beyond getting sick ourselves, or our loved ones being stricken with Covid-19. We're worried about life as we know it. We're worried about our income, homes, jobs. We're worried about so much more than running out of toilet paper. We're worried about being able to... Continue Reading →
Trump, Tropes, And Trots
Yesterday, I had a Trump supporter tell me to "stop playing the blame game" and stop blaming "President" (sic) Trump. Three days ago, this idiot posted on Facebook that the coronavirus pandemic is a conspiracy. I get asked occasionally, "Why don't you unfriend these hateful and stupid people?" Because I want to know the latest... Continue Reading →
MAGA Socialism
Isn't it funny that everything Republicans complain about turns around and bites them in the ass? Isn't it funny that they don't have any principles? For decades, they proclaimed they were about family values and wouldn't support any candidate who appeared unethical or messed around on his wife. Today, nope. In fact, many believe Donald...

Jump For Trump
Yesterday, Donald Trump gave another press conference on the coronavirus. This time, he tried to appear more somber and adultlike. He even said the media was doing a good job. Then, the stock market dropped nearly 3,000 points, which was the market's worse day since Black Monday in 1987. And there's no wonder why the... Continue Reading →
Trumpy Takes A Test
Despite hanging out with multiple Trump cultists and shitweasels who may be infected with the coronavirus, and several who definitely are, Donald Trump was reluctant about taking a test to see if maybe he had contracted the virus. He told us he wasn't worried about being in contact with people who had the virus because... Continue Reading →
TP America
Funny thing. When Donald Trump picked Mike Pence as his running mate, the first Trump/Pence logo involved the initials "TP." This was probably decided by the same idiots who created the Tea Party and were totally surprised they acquired the nickname "teabaggers." And then totally surprised to learn what a "teabagger" was (I had to... Continue Reading →
