This cartoon was first published February 8, 2019, in The Costa Rica Star.

Former two-time Costa Rica president and Nobel Prize winner, Oscar Arias was accused of sexual assault, then accused again, and again, and again, etc. So far, nine women have accused him of charges ranging from harassment, to assault, to rape. Time Magazine has even done a feature on the story.

Costa Rica Vortex

crsta02012019

This cartoon was first published February 1, 2019, in The Costa Rica Star.

It always amazes me that conservatives don’t understand the difference between climate and weather. For years, we used the term “global warming.” But Republicans would only focus on the “warming” and miss the “global” part. So we started using “climate change,” so maybe dumb people, Republicans, would focus more on the change than the warming. Nope.

If it’s cold in Buffalo or Cleveland in the winter, they start screaming, “Where’s this climate change you promised?”

While the polar vortex was hitting the United States last week, it was in the 80s in Costa Rica. In case you’re not aware of this, Costa Rica is part of the globe. The climate is not just what’s going on outside your window. It’s kinda like another thing Republicans haven’t figured out; there are people in this world who are not you.

Uber Costa Rica

crsta01252019

This cartoon first ran in The Costa Rica Star, January 25, 2019.

Uber is not legal in Costa Rica due to the lobbying from the nation’s taxi service. Now, Uber may be granted the right to operate in the nation, that is if they pay some exorbitant fines to the country. How exorbitant? $13 million.

Crocodile Bang-Bang

crsta01182019

This cartoon first ran in The Costa Rica Star, January 21, 2019.

Costa Rica is working to soften its gun laws. They’re still going to be much stricter than the United States because nobody is as gun-happy as we are, but some people fear these changes.

I support your right to own a gun in the U.S. I also support gun control. I think it’s a simple fact to understand; the harder it is to get a gun then the harder it is to shoot somebody.

I also support the right to draw crocodiles.

Venezuela’s Fake President

crsta01112019

This cartoon was published January 11, 2019, in The Costa Rica Star.

The Lima Group is a multilateral body that was created to help solve the crisis in Venezuela. The group, which includes Costa Rica as a member, has denounced and refuses to recognize the election of President Nicolas Maduro.

They claim (and they’re right) that the recent elections in Venezuela are unobserved, unjust and undemocratic, and all fourteen members of the group have recalled their ambassadors.

Costa Rica Life Insurance

crsta01042019

This cartoon was first published January 4, 2019, in The Costa Rica Star.

Central America has a bad reputation for being an unsafe place to visit or even live. Costa Rica does not. The nation doesn’t even have an army and millions of tourists from the United States, Canada, and Asia visit every year. I know several people who have visited Costa Rica over the past few years. I know this because they won’t shut up about it. Apparently, it’s awesome.

But lately, it hasn’t been so awesome for a few tourists. There have been murders, deaths from accidents, muggings, rape, and kidnappings. Their image is taking a bit of a hit and there are talks of a public relations campaign to tell people that they’ll be safe if they visit, probably.

The worst thing that could happen is if people start comparing them to Florida.

Hello, Costa Rica Baby

crsta12282018

This cartoon was first published December 31, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. Yeah, it ran last year.

This is my annual Baby New Year cartoon, and I used it for The Star. I did another with the baby for my syndication, but that was a lot different. This is one cliché I’m kinda OK with, depending on how it’s used.  I feel like it’s almost mandatory for newspapers to run one of these, so it’s like I better draw one.
