Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
It's time for roughs. All of these were drawn last Friday, September 23, except for the first one. It was drawn the day before.

I've heard from critics before, "I shouldn't have to read your blog to understand your cartoon." They're right. I don't write this blog to explain my cartoons.
