Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Shortly after the Trump insurrection attempt in which he sent white nationalist terrorists to attack the Capitol on January 6 to stop the certification of the 2020 election he had just lost, Kevin McCarthy blamed Trump. McCarthy played tough guy and told some gathered Republican colleagues the story of how he told Trump over the... Continue Reading →
Trump has boasted that Russia didn't invade Ukraine when he was president, as if Vladimir Putin is afraid of him. But the fact is, Putin has Trump's tiny orange balls in his coat pocket. The only reason Russia didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was president is because they didn't have to. Trump was doing Putin's... Continue Reading →
What a drag it is getting old. Many years ago when I was much younger, I was a bit of a stinker. OK, I still am, but back then, I made fun of old people for the simple act of getting old. I used to tease one of my editors, Rupert, back when I worked... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion Newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday Sometimes when I'm drawing about a person or entity, I'll research about my subject more than I actually have to and will occasionally learn something interesting.

This war is too complicated to say one side is all bad and one side is all good. I think if I took the stance of a conservative cartoonist who only drew cartoons that defended Israel and attacked Hamas, then I wouldn't be doing my job. Sure, Hamas is bad and evil but it's much... Continue Reading →

Voters today have forgotten that Trump tanked the great economy he inherited from President Obama, ignored Covid while tens of thousands of his... Continue Reading →

Biden posted a photo on Instagram with his cake ablaze and captioned it, "Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!” Sure, he's old, but he's hip enough...

Happy Thanksgiving, kiddos. It's time for turkey and roughs, and some of these are real turkeys. I'm not drawing today. I got ahead of schedule this week for my clients and I did my weekly cartoon for CNN yesterday (Wednesday) instead of the usual day, Friday...so I'm ahead of schedule until Saturday. The GoComic streak... Continue Reading →
On November 25, 2015, even before the increase in hate crimes that came with the Trump era, I did this cartoon for Black Friday. In the blog with the cartoon, I wrote about the case of 17-year-old LaQuan McDonald who was shot 16 times by a white Chicago cop. McDonald is dead. The officer who... Continue Reading →
So one of the counterarguments (a whatabout) from a MAGAt over on GoComics to my last cartoon on the recent scary polls is, that President Joe Biden couldn't tell the difference between Britney Spears and Taylor Swift. Apparently, that was a story in right-wing goon circles. Headline: Old man can't tell the difference between two... Continue Reading →
