Proponents of a flag burning Amendment say the Founding Fathers didn't envision people burning flags. They probably didn't envision people owning Uzis either. On Monday night Donald Trump watched something on Fox News about a guy burning a flag at a college in Massachusetts. Because he's easily led and has impulse control issues Trump tweeted...

Gatlinburg Wildfires
Parts of the South are currently suffering from record droughts and wildfires are burning in every southeastern state. Wildfires in Gatlinburg and surrounding communities in eastern Tennessee has damaged hundreds of buildings and forced thousands to evacuate their homes overnight. More than 14,000 people have evacuated Gatlinburg alone. A big cause for all of this is... Continue Reading →
Flying With Fanatics
It's bad enough having to listen to Trump nuts at family dinners, your local tavern, on the internet, Fox News, etc. Imagine getting stuck next to one on an airplane. One such passenger seated next to a Trump fanatic whipped out her camera and made a video of the guy standing in the aisle shouting... Continue Reading →
Battening Down In Costa Rica
I stole this idea for this week's cartoon for The Costa Rica Star. I stole it from myself. When Hurricane Katrina was sweeping its way toward New Orleans I submitted this idea to my editorial page editor at The Free Lance-Star. Not only did he not approve it, he got upset. Really upset. He did... Continue Reading →
Ding Dong Dictator
So I had two ideas on Fidel Castro's death and I wanted to draw both of them. I was thinking how funny it was that Castro survived eleven U.S. presidents and when he finally goes our president is Cheeto Potentate. Did you like this cartoon? Want to help a cartoonist make a living? Look to the... Continue Reading →
Hasta La Vista, Fidel
A lot of people are saying "F you, 2016" as they're upset at the number of celebrity deaths this year. I don't get that. Famous people die every year. Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jeff MacNelly, and Herblock didn't die in 2016. But I too would like to tell 2016 that it... Continue Reading →
Darling Nikki
I have one newspaper client in South Carolina. When they read the first panel of this cartoon they'll probably think "hey, alright. He did something on our governor" and then they'll hit the next panel and say "oh god no." Sometimes I like to tease my readers on social media on what my next cartoon... Continue Reading →
No Time For Intelligence
JaMarcus Russell was a star quarterback for LSU. He was thought of so highly that the Oakland Raiders made him their number one draft pick, number one overall, in the 2007 draft, and signed him for $68 million. Russell loved the NFL money and lifestyle but the man didn't have any interest in learning how... Continue Reading →
Standing Rock
There's been very little attention given to the protests opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline in the Dakotas and I'm as guilty as the rest of the nation's news organizations (though I have drawn one cartoon on the issue a few weeks ago). Earlier this week a 21-year-old girl from New York who had joined the... Continue Reading →
Tofurky
Among all the stupid and idiotic issues Donald Trump ran on the promise of jailing his political opponent was the dumbest. First, it's illegal. It was one of the Articles of Impeachment written up for Richard Nixon, and yet Trump ran on it. He was promising to be impeached. Second, it's not what we do.... Continue Reading →
