Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
There are heroes and then there are cowards. Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor and producer for Russian state TV's flagship news program, ran on the set during a live broadcast with a sign protesting Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Ovsyannikova chanted "stop the war" while holding a sign with the same message and "don't believe propaganda"... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. I kinda suspect my editor picked this solely on "SS Harumph." Oddly enough, I think I only heard one reader say anything about that. Go read my editor’s column. Music Note: I listened to Billy Joel while drawing... Continue Reading →
Even though other conservatives have stopped publicly cheering for Vladimir Putin and Russia, or at least most of them, Tucker is still pushing Putin's propaganda. Even Donald Trump sees that public praise for Russia is a political liability, and it must be extremely painful for him to be biting his tongue to refrain from gushing... Continue Reading →
"Fat guy in a little coat" is a classic scene in the great 1995 comedy Tommy Boy, a film with a lot of classic scenes. If you believe the Chris Farley/David Spade classic is just a bunch of juvenile sophomoric comedy you're right, but it's still a great movie. It's one of those movies that... Continue Reading →
Gather around, kids, because it's time for another blog of roughs. These were drawn last week, mostly on Thursday and Friday. But, since they're mostly about Russia and Ukraine, they're still as timely today as when I drew them. I actually drew this one before Putin bombed a baby hospital. I knew it was coming....

Republicans are only outraged at Vladimir Putin now because they're supposed to be. If the public was indifferent to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Republicans would either be silent about it or siding with Russia the way Tucker Carlson has. Even Donald Trump has seen it's better to be silent on the war than siding with... Continue Reading →
I drew the rough for this cartoon last Thursday but passed it over for a few other ideas. But I liked it and hoped to squeeze it in eventually. I've always enjoyed drawing the Angel of Death and wanted to take my shot at Putin's ridiculously long table. I also knew Putin would come through... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. We picked a good time to do a cartoon on gas prices as I didn't see many if any, in relation to the war in Ukraine, before we published this on Sunday. But the very next day,... Continue Reading →
Republicans have spent the past two weeks demanding that President Joe Biden ban imports of Russian fuel into our nation. Now that he's done so, they can now return to complaining about gas prices. First off, if you're in a vehicle that gets less than 20 miles per gallon, shut up. Large trucks, jeeps, and... Continue Reading →
A lot of Russian propaganda outlets are being shut down in the west by western governments and private corporations. Russia state-owned outlets that have been operating freely in Europe and the United States, RT and Sputnik, have taken a huge hit and are being blocked. While the west is blocking Russia's fake news outlets, much... Continue Reading →
