Twitter's new owner, I mean founder (sorry, Elon), tweeted last night, "Widespread verification will democratize journalism & empower the voice of the people." It's really amazing this guy was successful at ever selling anything with that sort of bullshit sales pitch. Elon is selling verifications on Twitter, the blue check. That means you're verified and... Continue Reading →
Firing Democracy
I still think the most important issue in this election is saving democracy. I try not to be a one-issue voter as I am concerned about inflation, high gas prices, crime, the economy, the budget, climate change, human and civil rights, etc, etc. But will any of that matter when we lose the power to...

Ready For Tuesday
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I usually wait a day, or two, or three (sometimes I forget) to post my CNN cartoon on my blog, allowing the CNN Opinion newsletter a healthy run with it before I give it some competition. But... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 160
If you follow me on social media then you've probably already seen two of these because knowing I wasn't going to complete them, I went ahead and showed them off. Except for one, all of these are all from last week, Thursday, October 28, and Friday, October 29. I drew this on Friday, the day... Continue Reading →
Republican Answers
I am a half-glass-full kind of person and I don't have a lot of faith in American voters. They have short memories. They don't pay a lot of attention. They're ignorant on most matters. And many are just stupid. Also, Democrats suck at getting out the vote. You need a giant visual villain like Donald... Continue Reading →
The Wiz
Brooklyn Nets basketball player Kyrie Irving made a lot of noise last season by refusing to be vaccinated against Covid and was eventually suspended. His issue with vaccines is that he's a conspiracy theorist and believed a lot of the Qanon bullshit about them. Last season it was vaccines. This season, it's antisemitism. Kyrie tweeted...

New Commander Commander
Dan Snyder, the owner of the Washington Commanders, has sent out a vague signal that he may sell his NFL franchise. The announcement stated that Snyder has hired an investment bank to "consider potential transactions." Washington fans do not like the owner of their team, but before they get too giddy over the announcement, they... Continue Reading →
Thanks To Elon
If you tweet, then you know about the verification thing. In case you don't know, it's a blue check mark that means you're authentic, important, and probably smell really nice. It's given to individuals, corporations, charities, etc, etc. I don't have one, but I did instruct a cartoonist, who doesn't have any national awards, on... Continue Reading →
Invaded By Oz
The most troubling thing that came out of the John Fetterman/Mehmet Oz debate for me wasn't Fetterman's struggle to express himself after his stroke. No, the most troubling was Mehmet Oz saying the quiet part out loud. Oz said the federal government should stay out of abortion and it should be between a woman, her... Continue Reading →
Freaks Come Out In 2023
Not only will Republicans hold up President Biden's agenda if they retake the House, but they'll work to defund Social Security and Medicare, hold the government hostage by shutting down the government during the next debt-ceiling deadline, and work to give Donald Trump more tax cuts. Additionally, they're going to conduct a bunch of bullshit... Continue Reading →
