Roughing It, Volume 15
Here are several ideas I sent to CNN for last week's opinion newsletter. I didn't know if this one works and I'm not a huge fan of the shadows concept. I knew there were better ideas coming. I kinda liked this one, but it's another play on a cliche. I didn't mind not using it.... Continue Reading →
The Impeachment Blues
Yesterday, a screenshot circulated on Facebook of a tweet attributed to Monica Lewinsky stating she would "take one for the team" and do to Donald Trump what she did to Bill Clinton in the Oval Office as "that's the only thing that can convince Republicans to impeach." If you saw the tweet, shared it, liked,... Continue Reading →
North Korean Thong Attack

Cordero said, "The problem has to do with whether or not he is in violation of the Constitution and of the constitutional principles of whether or... Continue Reading →
Impeachment Civil War
Donald Trump is losing his mind. He's screaming at reporters, embarrassing us in front of visiting foreign leaders, lying, spreading conspiracy theories, encouraging his supporters to engage in violence, and promising not to accomplish anything with Congress (like you were totally expecting action on gun violence). OK, that sounds like a typical Wednesday for Trump,... Continue Reading →

Idiot Jumpsuit
We political cartoonists often use creative license in our work. I admit, there's something in this cartoon I don't believe will come true. That is, when Donald Trump does go to prison, I'm confident there will be an orange jumpsuit available for him. Let's get one thing clear. The talking points about Joe Biden, his...

Roughing It, Volume Fourteen
Last Thursday, when I started working on a cartoon for CNN Opinion's newsletter, the Whistleblowergate thingy was just breaking. I thought it was our topic, but my editor was afraid that by the time the cartoon ran on Sunday, it would be outdated. That was my concern too. He was interested in some other topics,...
