Americans are impatient. I've been told that people in other nations can wait in line for hours patiently at amusement parks but here in the states, we do the pee-pee dance and start growling when we think we've been in line too long at Burger King. But we need to learn to be patient because... Continue Reading →
Get Your Popcorn
The popcorn imagery is a bit old and a cliché in political cartoons, but I couldn't resist this image. It's another idea I came up with the night before and that woke me up this morning as even in my sleep, my brain was trying to figure out how to put it together. I have... Continue Reading →
Booty Frogs
The lead editorial in today's Wall Street Journal calls Trump the Republican Party's "biggest loser," pointing out that he lost the 2018 midterms for his party, he lost the 2020 election, he lost two Georgia senate runoffs in 2021, and now he's a loser in 2022. Don't forget that when he did "win" the presidency... Continue Reading →
The Morning After Midterms 22
Near the end of every election, political cartoonists will draw cartoons saying, "Thank God we won't see any more campaign ads." Some of the cartoonists who draw these are my friends and people I respect, and I have probably drawn these in the past myself, but I hate them. It's generic and they kinda both-sides...

Firing Democracy
I still think the most important issue in this election is saving democracy. I try not to be a one-issue voter as I am concerned about inflation, high gas prices, crime, the economy, the budget, climate change, human and civil rights, etc, etc. But will any of that matter when we lose the power to...

Ready For Tuesday
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I usually wait a day, or two, or three (sometimes I forget) to post my CNN cartoon on my blog, allowing the CNN Opinion newsletter a healthy run with it before I give it some competition. But... Continue Reading →
Republican Answers
I am a half-glass-full kind of person and I don't have a lot of faith in American voters. They have short memories. They don't pay a lot of attention. They're ignorant on most matters. And many are just stupid. Also, Democrats suck at getting out the vote. You need a giant visual villain like Donald... Continue Reading →
The Wiz
Brooklyn Nets basketball player Kyrie Irving made a lot of noise last season by refusing to be vaccinated against Covid and was eventually suspended. His issue with vaccines is that he's a conspiracy theorist and believed a lot of the Qanon bullshit about them. Last season it was vaccines. This season, it's antisemitism. Kyrie tweeted...

Invaded By Oz
The most troubling thing that came out of the John Fetterman/Mehmet Oz debate for me wasn't Fetterman's struggle to express himself after his stroke. No, the most troubling was Mehmet Oz saying the quiet part out loud. Oz said the federal government should stay out of abortion and it should be between a woman, her... Continue Reading →
Freaks Come Out In 2023
Not only will Republicans hold up President Biden's agenda if they retake the House, but they'll work to defund Social Security and Medicare, hold the government hostage by shutting down the government during the next debt-ceiling deadline, and work to give Donald Trump more tax cuts. Additionally, they're going to conduct a bunch of bullshit... Continue Reading →
