Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
When Donald Trump pays an international visit, he's not courted and given pomp and pageantry because he's liked, admired, and well respected. He's given all that because of the direct opposite. He's given, no pun intended, the royal treatment because foreign leaders understand his fragile ego soaks it up and it makes it easier for... Continue Reading →
I give my conservative cartooning colleagues a lot of crap over their devotion to Trump, producing cartoons that are based on fear, hate, propaganda and conspiracy theories while being totally devoid of facts. Mostly, I give them hell for abandoning principles they held decades before Trumpism, such as patriotism, law and order, family values, democracy... Continue Reading →

The new normal is that it was not "unreasonable" to ask the Navy to hide a ship with the name "John McCain" on it in order to avoid offending a thin-skinned Trump and... Continue Reading →
Today is my birthday. My birthday gift to you is a cartoon that my girlfriend, who patiently allowed me to do some work today, says is going to get me into trouble. Amanda took me out last night to a craft beer place here in Woodbridge. Minutes after sitting down, she pointed at the TV... Continue Reading →
Special Counsel Robert Mueller finally spoke and what he said without saying it is that Attorney General William Barr is a filthy, sycophantic liar helping Donald Trump engage in a PR campaign to mislead the American people.

Voters in the United Kingdom can be just as poorly informed as their counterparts in the United States. They can also be just as easily manipulated by Russian troll farms. While the European Union isn't perfect and there are serious issues for each nation involved to resolve, it's stupid for the United Kingdom to leave... Continue Reading →
Here’s your weekly cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life.

Once again, Donald Trump is politicizing the Justice Department, just like he promised he would as a candidate. Trump has given Attorney General William Barr sweeping authority to declassify information related to the Russian investigation. This move frightens the intelligence community. It endangers sources, methods, and threatens to manipulate the intelligence that's been gathered for... Continue Reading →
I'm posting this here in case you don't follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or in general like a stalker. On Wednesday, I took an Amtrak to Raleigh, North Carolina. I planned to draw a cartoon in my hotel room that night, work on ideas with CNN on Thursday, attend an event Thursday night, then... Continue Reading →
