There seems to be a new fad, probably temporary, of creepy clown sightings. This "clown phenomenon" started in Greenville, South Carolina where some children reported a clown trying to entice them to follow him/her into the woods.

I'm not trying to slam people who currently or have lived in basements. Basements can be cool places. I have never lived in one but I have been in two bands that practiced in them and I even recorded in an album in a basement studio (punk rock, yeah!). When I was married and first...

I feel a little bad using "Taxman" from The Beatles for this cartoon. The Beatles were brilliant song writers (except for Ringo) and Trump is only a brilliant con man. It's not the first time Donald Trump had a rough week. The week after the Republican National Convention Trump squandered any momentum he may have... Continue Reading →

Before the debate everyone was asking which Donald... Continue Reading →

Texas Senator and former and future presidential candidate Ted Cruz just endorsed Donald Trump. At the Republican convention in Cleveland Cruz drew much condemnation for not endorsing Trump and saying that every voter has to follow their conscience. It turns out,Ted Cruz doesn't have one. Donald Trump has insulted Ted by giving him the clever... Continue Reading →
I had not drawn a cartoon for The Seattle Times since May so it felt good to get back to work with them. This is in today's edition. I'll also have another cartoon on their pages tomorrow. The Pronto issue is interesting. The city is spending mega bucks on a bicycle system while scrapping for... Continue Reading →
