Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Last week during President Obama's speech in Illinois, I tweeted, "There's a black guy speaking on TV with total clarity and coherence. What the hell is this shit?" It received a lot of responses from people who miss a president who is eloquent, dignified, doesn't engage in temper tantrums and childish insults, and can speak... Continue Reading →
Serena Williams got into a tiff with the referee during the championship finals of the U.S. Open. She was ultimately fined $17,000 for calling the ref a "thief." What has been pointed out is that men have a history of arguing with referees, and insulting them with words much worse than "thief," and rarely if... Continue Reading →
Every morning while I'm drawing, I take a break to check out some of my colleagues' work at GoComics and the AAEC's site. Partly, because I want to make sure nobody scooped me with the idea I'm working on and, because I'm also a fan. While looking one night/morning a few days ago, I spotted... Continue Reading →
This cartoon first ran Friday, August 31, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. What is it with strongman-type leaders, dictators, and dictator wannabes that they feel they can force their will on people who don't have to bend to their demands?

The Republicans stole an appointment from President Barack Obama. They wouldn't even let his nominee, Merrick Garland, a man they had previously confirmed for a lower court, on... Continue Reading →
There are two things Republicans in Congress and Trump sycophants need to give up; the fantasy there is a "deep state" within and outside the government conspiring to destroy Donald Trump, and the fantasy that Trump is anything other than a narcissistic dysfunctional human being with the intellect of a toddler who has any grasp...

Here's a bonus cartoon for you. I don't feel like I need to blog about this one since I already covered the Woodward book today. Orange ya' glad I stayed up to give you a bonus cartoon? Your support in the form of donations is appreciated. I am fully independent as I’m not employed by... Continue Reading →
In 1991, I met editorial cartoonist Draper Hill at my first cartoonist convention, and he drew me a doodle of Richard Nixon. Next to that drawing, he wrote something like, "too bad you won't ever have the likes of me to cover." So, basically, this is all Draper's fault. He jinxed us with that drawing.... Continue Reading →
This Thursday is the start of the NFL's regular season, but as we all know, racism doesn't have an off-season. The Republican gubernatorial candidate in Florida said voting for his black opponent will be "monkeying" it up. There are racist robocalls in Florida targeting those like-minded with a "we the Negroes" theme. The president of... Continue Reading →
