Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Last week, I only drew nine roughs and only two of those grew up to be real boys, er, cartoons. I had been meaning to do something on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. This is what I gave CNN. I wanted to add "Fat Tuesday" and directly underneath it, "Fat Chicks," but I thought that... Continue Reading →
Hey, kids. It's time to check out some more roughs. It was another light week with only about a dozen or so to check out. For me, that's a light week. This is the idea CNN picked for the Sunday newsletter last week. And it turned into this. A lot of people told me they... Continue Reading →
I didn't draw as many roughs last week as usual. But out of the small number, five of them became fully-grown cartoons. Let's check them out. This was not my favorite cartoon from this collection, but it was my favorite for the CNN Opinion newsletter. My editor, Rich, wrote a brilliant and wonderful column and... Continue Reading →
I drew a ton of roughs last week. By "ton," I mean over 20. Let's check them out and see which ones are good, OK, and the suck. This is the idea I created for CNN Opinion. And it turned into this. I really enjoyed drawing this scene. I think it worked really with the... Continue Reading →
Check out some roughs from the past week. We went with this for the CNN toon. This isn't a different idea but it's a different way of doing it. I don't think either is better than the other, but it was an option. I finished this one later. I liked it too much. It's not... Continue Reading →
Yay! It's time to check out a few more rough drawings. I didn't draw as many last week as usual. I'm OK with that. This is the rough for the idea CNN selected. Which turned into this. I have to confess. It wasn't my idea to throw Rudy in the cartoon but I think it... Continue Reading →
I'm posting this on a train. Whee, trains! I drew this batch of roughs the week before last, which feels like a year ago. Time in politics and news has a different measurement than reality. This is the rough for the cartoon I eventually drew for CNN. It turned into... ...this. I like drawing Romney.... Continue Reading →
Kids! It's time for another walk through my butcher shop and see how the meat's made. Be careful as it can get nasty. Watch where you step. I sent this idea to CNN and my editor really liked it. My editor's only question was, "where are those two guys on the lower right?" It was... Continue Reading →
It's time to check out a few more rough sketches. There aren't as many this week as usual (thank god). A couple of these turned into finished cartoons, like our first one. This one turned into... ...this, which I drew for CNN. This one didn't turn into anything. I kinda liked this one. This one... Continue Reading →
It's time for another trip to my butcher shop. I thought this was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to my other oath cartoon. So this turned into... ...THIS! It became a lot easier for me to live with. It's not often you hear the use of "damn skippy" anymore. Later, this turned into... ...THIS! This turned into...... Continue Reading →
