Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
The 2006 film Idiocracy is about a future where mankind dumbs down. Society consists of nothing but stupid people. A man from our present is put into a deep sleep and wakes up in this future and he's persecuted for being smart. Does that sound familiar? Not the waking up in the future part, but...

Republicans and the NRA think it's perfectly fine to sell guns to people on the No-Fly List. Sure, someone may be a suspected terrorist but let's not infringe upon their 2nd Amendment rights. Their defense is that there are flaws with the No-Fly List and people are often put on it by mistake. What's the... Continue Reading →
I grew up in several states. I was born in Texas but Louisiana was home. My mother also dragged me to Georgia, California and Illinois. My first memories are from living in Elgin which is about 50 miles from Chicago. I attended several games at Wrigley and was a Cubs fan before I even knew there... Continue Reading →
The Supreme Court is hearing a case on Affirmative Action concerning the University of Texas. Associate Justice Antonin Scalia made a very unusual comment that made a lot of people gasp. Scalia seemed to imply that some minority students don't do as well at upper-level universities, as if blacks should only attend "slower" colleges. Scalia... Continue Reading →
I think I ranted enough yesterday on this topic that I can spare you a political rant today. While writing yesterday's column I inserted a part about getting a tan. Then I thought, hey that's my next cartoon. So I took it out and saved it for this. I went to bed and then I... Continue Reading →
I think how much fun it will be as a cartoonist for Trump to win his party's nomination. While I make fun of Trump, the situation is starting to lose its humor. The leading candidate for one of America's two political parties is laying out a platform of xenophobia. This is 2015. Not 1933 Germany.... Continue Reading →
A few years ago I was debating a friend who is a conservative. Really. I have a friend who is conservative. He's a really good friend too and I don't consider him a jerk at all. I think he's wrong on everything and the feelings are mutual, but none of that's a reason for me to... Continue Reading →
The Republicans have been screaming about "Radical Islamic Terrorism" for a long time now. Meanwhile, they ignore greater threats. Yes. Greater threats, like Climate Change or non-Muslim Americans killing other Americans. They were real slow in responding to a white guy shooting up a Planned Parenthood clinic. Why? Several reasons but the main ones being, they... Continue Reading →
Practice makes perfect. Too many horrible events, too close together, keeps giving me not just the opportunities, but the requirement that I draw cartoons featuring guns. I am not the most talented artist among my editorial cartooning colleagues. Far from it. But I am getting really good at drawing guns. I'm not against the 2nd... Continue Reading →
I'm not saying if you are against abortion that you're too crazy to own a gun. There are a lot of rational people out there who think abortion is wrong. A lot of people live in a gray area, while being personally opposed to abortion they don't believe it should be illegal. I'm talking about... Continue Reading →
