Pimps And Wizards
The Republican Party has turned into the Cult of Trump, and while the backbone is racism, it also attracts a fair share of crazy people. Racism is not a deal breaker for anyone who voted for Trump or supports him today. And while it's not a deal breaker for all of them, it's actually the... Continue Reading →
Costa Rica Bankers
This cartoon was first published in The Costa Rica Star June 8, 2018. If you're a director of a public bank in Costa Rica, you will make between $16,000 to $30,000 a month.

Dictator Envy
There was so much breaking news from the Trump administration this past week, that by Friday we would have forgotten that the president had legitimized North Korea's dictatorship if he hadn't reminded us.

Ugly American Baby
Donald Trump attended the G7 Summit against his will. He didn't want to go, probably because he had spent the week insulting our allies while lobbying for Vladimir Putin. Trump arrived late to the summit and he left early. He agreed to a communiqué (which is a big word for Trump) by the allies but... Continue Reading →
Crate And Peril
Senator Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, visited a detention center in Texas last week and described the facility. He said, "What you have is cyclone fencing and fence posts that look like cages. They look like the way you would construct a dog kennel." Jeff Sessions' Justice Department hit back, saying they don't employ the use... Continue Reading →
Costa Rica’s Daily Bureaucracy
This cartoon was drawn for and published in The Costa Rica Star, May 25, 2018. I should have posted it last week, but I was lazy.
