Even though Fox News is more of an entertainment outlet than a real source of news, actual journalists do work at Fox News. Sure, you don't see them in prime time and a lot of their contributions get manipulated to push agendas over news, but there are journalists at Fox News who take their jobs... Continue Reading →
Don’t Say “Boom”
Is it a coincidence that Vladimir Putin and Ron DeSantis are both homophobes? The president of Russia claims there are no homosexuals in his nation. Ron DeSantis started a war against the LGBTQ and education community long before Russia invaded Ukraine. After attacking educators over face mask mandates and saying parents should make those decisions,... Continue Reading →
Night and Day
Eric Trump went on Sean Hannity's Fox News show a couple nights ago and pushed the laughable idea that his father was tough on Putin and the Russian dictator never would have considered invading Ukraine while Eric's daddy was president (sic). Eric said, "My father would have called up and would have said, ‘Vladimir, don’t... Continue Reading →
Mr. Zelensky Goes To Washington
As Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky virtually addressed Congress today, I wondered, "What did they do with Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, and Madison Cawthorn? For that matter, how dare any member of the Republican Party attend who had refused to impeach Donald Trump for his attempt to extort the Ukrainian president.... Continue Reading →
Russian Heroes
There are heroes and then there are cowards. Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor and producer for Russian state TV's flagship news program, ran on the set during a live broadcast with a sign protesting Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Ovsyannikova chanted "stop the war" while holding a sign with the same message and "don't believe propaganda"... Continue Reading →
Boats Boats Boats
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. I kinda suspect my editor picked this solely on "SS Harumph." Oddly enough, I think I only heard one reader say anything about that. Go read my editor’s column. Music Note: I listened to Billy Joel while drawing... Continue Reading →
Putin Baby
Even though other conservatives have stopped publicly cheering for Vladimir Putin and Russia, or at least most of them, Tucker is still pushing Putin's propaganda. Even Donald Trump sees that public praise for Russia is a political liability, and it must be extremely painful for him to be biting his tongue to refrain from gushing... Continue Reading →
Fat Guy In A Little Coat
"Fat guy in a little coat" is a classic scene in the great 1995 comedy Tommy Boy, a film with a lot of classic scenes. If you believe the Chris Farley/David Spade classic is just a bunch of juvenile sophomoric comedy you're right, but it's still a great movie. It's one of those movies that... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 128
Gather around, kids, because it's time for another blog of roughs. These were drawn last week, mostly on Thursday and Friday. But, since they're mostly about Russia and Ukraine, they're still as timely today as when I drew them. I actually drew this one before Putin bombed a baby hospital. I knew it was coming....

Republican Targets
Republicans are only outraged at Vladimir Putin now because they're supposed to be. If the public was indifferent to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Republicans would either be silent about it or siding with Russia the way Tucker Carlson has. Even Donald Trump has seen it's better to be silent on the war than siding with... Continue Reading →
