After I post a batch of roughs, I'm usually done with all the ideas in it. But, I have gone back and made completed cartoons from a few in the past. There are always some readers who tell me I should go back and do one but I usually let them go. Not this time.... Continue Reading →
Heavenly Cheeseburger
Two things I'm not a big fan of are obituary/tribute cartoons and Jimmy Buffett's music. After hearing of his passing yesterday, I knew there would be a slew of tribute cartoons with boats sailing into heaven and crying parrots. I've counted at least four cartoons with crying parrots so far (I'm betting either Michael Ramirez... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 196
I drew all these (except one) on Friday, August 25, in my hotel room in Atlanta. This was the day after Trump's FOURTH arraignment. I had spent that Thursday standing in the Georgia sun with a heat index over 100 degrees without any water. I was a tired boy but you know me and I... Continue Reading →
Florida Disaster Area
President Biden is visiting Florida today to survey the damage left by Hurricane Idalia. He's probably going to skip the real disaster of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign. But now comes the awkward part for DeSantis. DeSantis should be seen with President Biden, a man he's been verbally attacking and whose job he's trying... Continue Reading →
Egad Gadsden
This is why we can't have nice things. A school in Colorado Springs (in case you're a Republican, that's in Colorado) reversed course and said a 12-year-old male student can continue displaying a patch on his backpack of the Gadsden flag. The school, The Vanguard School, is a private school, and it told the boy... Continue Reading →
What The Shirt?
President Biden is taking on the pharmaceutical industry by allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of some prescription drugs. The whole thing started last year with the passing of the Affordable Care Act. Medicare is the federal health insurance program for older and disabled people and the new provisions allowing it to negotiate drug prices... Continue Reading →
Ramaswamadingdong Climate Change
Fortunately for us, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is a longshot for the White House. We're fortunate that he'll never win the presidency because he's not just on the wrong side of the issues and inexperienced, but he's a vile person who's also pretty intelligent. The guy says he'll pardon Donald Trump if he's elected.... Continue Reading →
Jacksonville Racist
While attending a prayer vigil in Jacksonville for the three Black victims of a racist shooter, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, aka Ron DeSanctimonious, aka Ron DumbSantis, aka Ron DuhSantis, aka Meatball Ron, and aka Governor Pudding Fingers, was booed and heckled. Amidst the boos was a, "You're not welcome here" and a "Your policies caused... Continue Reading →
Too Sexy For My Shirt
Donald Trump is so arrogant, that he believes it's an honor to be arrested and have his mugshot taken. In fact, sharing the mugshot is his first post on Twitter/X since Elon Musk restored his account after being banned by the previous Twitter regime. Trump was banned from Twitter for the reasons he now has... Continue Reading →
Roughs, 195
Please excuse this week's batch of roughs for arriving late. I was traveling. I think I drew all of these on Friday, August 18. I kinda liked this one and I thought my editor might go for it. However, we did previously use Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan in a cartoon for the... Continue Reading →
