Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox News' Laura Ingraham that made even her eyes bulge out at times. As is usual for a Trump interview, he rambled incoherently, spread a conspiracy theory or two, exhibited tone-deafness, exhibited a touch of racism, praised himself, attacked his opponents and the media, lied, and said a bunch...

After Trump
During the Obama presidency, when a leader and members of his administration spoke in complete sentences, Republicans accused the president of being the most divisive in American history. A conservative colleague of mine wrote repeatedly about how divisive Obama was. But seeing that my friend and Republicans don't use that term in regards to Donald... Continue Reading →
Flying Uglies
Full Disclosure. I drew a "fly, my pretties" cartoon last April. I was concerned it may be too soon for a repeat but one of my amazing proofers, Laura, told me, "April was forever ago and this is good." Honestly, I went with this because I liked the phrase, "Fly, my uglies" too much. The... Continue Reading →
Virtual Haters
I've heard some viewers of the Democratic National Convention say they preferred it without a live crowd. Not me. Speakers need momentum. Playing to a crowd helps with that more than talking to a camera. When it comes to sports, fans don't just make it more interesting, they're part of the game. Fans often distract...

Kenosha
Sometimes I'll draw a cartoon knowing full well most of my clients won't run it. OK, it's more than sometimes I do that. But sometimes, you have to say something others are afraid to. Usually, when a cop does something that outrageous America and the police have to actually accept what that cop did was... Continue Reading →
Better Off?
Before this week's Republican National Convention, Donald Trump complained that the Democratic National Convention was "dark and gloomy." Of course, we knew the DNC was a convention based more in reality that provided more facts. Donald Trump is a shitty president (sic) and a horrible and vile human being so when you talk about the...

The House That Trump Built
Republicans don't comprehend well. You can scream as loud as the banshee Don Jr is dating and they still wouldn't get it. For the past three nights, Republicans have used their convention to tell us Donald Trump is not a racist while not once showing any support for Black Lives Matter. Last night, not one...

Diverse Convention
On the first night of the Republican convention, the GOP rolled out minority speakers, you know...whenever a Trump wasn't speaking. There was Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, a black guy here, a Cuban there, and a Puerto Rican who is a true Trumpista because she doesn't know Puerto Rico is a part of the United States....

Family Testimonials
Full disclosure. I too have sisters (two) who don't like me and will say all sorts of nasty things. Things like, "entitled," "selfish," "spoiled," "wasted my talent," etc. But in my defense, I'm not the only person in the family they refuse to talk to (in my case, I choose not to talk to them),...

Trump’s Con
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. As I wrote in my blog the other day, you folks can keep up with the convention by watching the highlights/lowlights afterward. Me? I have to actually watch this shitshow. I should have become a rock star... Continue Reading →
