Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Did you know that more than 30 states have laws allowing school districts to arm teachers? Naturally, giving guns to teachers is a Republican idea, like banning doors. It's not a great idea to arm teachers. Some states require over 150 hours of firearm training before a school employee can carry a gun to school,... Continue Reading →
Sometimes when I create a post on Facebook, the algorithms or whatever will read the hashtags, and if it's something that can be associated with charity, Facebook will ask me if I want to create a fundraiser. So if you hashtag a hurricane, COVID, women's rights, Black Lives Matter, etc, it will ask if you... Continue Reading →
Ted Cruz went to Harvard and Princeton. He was a debate champion. With that in mind, I'm not ready to classify him as a moron despite the fact he says moronic things. While I'm not sure he's a moron, stupid, or an idiot, I know for sure he's a lot of other things. Ted Cruz... Continue Reading →
I broke one of my rules for this cartoon. I'm not big on holiday cartoons to begin with and since I'm a freelancer, I don't have to draw them now. Back when I worked at The Free Lance-Star, my editor demanded a cartoon for every Memorial and Veterans Day along with most other holidays. I... Continue Reading →
Republicans who label themselves as "constitutionalists" really only cling to one of the 27 (ratified) constitutional amendments. Of course, that is the second, the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment states: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine who writes about cartoons and the issues they cover said everyone should basically hold their comments until we have certainty over what happened during the 90 minutes Texas police gave the Uvalde gunman free range to shoot elementary students. My friend wrote, "facts change." Facts don't change. What changes is what... Continue Reading →
While drawing this cartoon, I was afraid Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott would pull out of speaking at this weekend's NRA convention in Houston, because it would be the right thing to do after a mass shooting with an assault rifle killed 19 children in their state. But fortunately, at least... Continue Reading →
What are the odds that on the same day I receive a journalism award from a human rights organization, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization, for a cartoon on school shootings that's there's another school shooting? In this country where politicians refuse to do anything to stop mass shootings and end the easy accessibility... Continue Reading →
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. If someone doesn't get my cartoon, it's either because they don't know the background to the issue, they're slow, or I failed. I will usually take the blame,... Continue Reading →
I'm not a scientist but I'm about to lay some basic science shit down for you. Keep in mind that I'm a cartoonist and most people don't expect us to spell well, less enough, understand math and science. And like most male stereotypes, I can become squeamish and will want to run screaming from a... Continue Reading →
