Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Another mass shooting at another school. The president is tired of making speeches about these things. I'm getting tired of drawing cartoons about it but I'm not a politician who will ignore it, or offer condolences and not action. An editor at one my client newspapers graduated from Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where the... Continue Reading →
Same as the old boss. What's a gaffe in Washington? When a politician accidentally speaks the truth. Examples are Republicans admitting that voter ID laws are only created to decrease votes for Democrats, or when Mitch McConnell admitted Senate and House Republicans only interest was to make Obama a one-term president.

While I don't think the continued search and revelations into Hillary Clinton's emails will amount to much, I don't think there's any argument that she wants the topic to go away. I also don't think there's any disagreement she's not handling the issue very well. I'm officially tired of drawing cartoons with the Pope. No... Continue Reading →

When I was in high school, the biggest concern for teachers was girls dressing like Madonna from the “Lucky Star” video. I was concerned too, but only... Continue Reading →
I posted on social media that I was fighting the urge to draw a flaccid Boehner cartoon. I received a lot of comments of "Do it! Do it!" Sorry, kids. I have to maintain a semblance of a career here. John Boehner resigned as Speaker Of The House on Friday, and just a day after... Continue Reading →
Pope Francis addressed Congress. He's the first Pope to do so. Arizona Republican congressman Paul Gosar boycotted the Pope's address because the Pope believes in Climate Change. He doesn't believe the Pope should use "questionable" science as Catholic dogma. Several politicians have taken issue with the Pope's stance on Climate Change and presidential candidates Jeb...
