Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
In 1991, I met editorial cartoonist Draper Hill at my first cartoonist convention, and he drew me a doodle of Richard Nixon. Next to that drawing, he wrote something like, "too bad you won't ever have the likes of me to cover." So, basically, this is all Draper's fault. He jinxed us with that drawing.... Continue Reading →
If you're ostracized, blacklisted, shut out, and generally just avoided and uninvited by anyone with the least modicum of decency, maybe the issue isn't with them but with you. At what point do you ask yourself, "am I really that unpleasant of a person?" Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, but it's when everyone who... Continue Reading →
The FBI arrested a 68-year-old man in Encino, California Thursday for making repeated threats against The Boston Globe, which included the catchphrase "enemies of the American people." Where have we heard that phrase before? It's one of Donald Trump's favorites which he uses against news outlets that print information he considers critical of him, like... Continue Reading →
Mollie Tibbetts was a student at the University of Iowa who disappeared on July 18, 2018. Her body was found a month later and the suspect in her murder is a 24-year-old Mexican in this country illegally. Conservatives have played this up as an argument for Trump's racist border wall and for stronger anti-immigration policies.... Continue Reading →
As the Republican nominee for Florida's governorship, Ron DeSantis links himself to Trump as proof of his qualifications for the job. Using his children in television spots, teaching them how to build a racist wall and to say "make America great again," you get the impression he may not be qualified to be a father....

Yesterday, an editor of a newspaper that will never run my work wrote to ask why do all my cartoons bash "our" president. He said he wanted more conservative and Trump-friendly cartoons to "match his readership." Obviously, his newspaper isn't showing up in the top search results when Trump Googles himself. The people who call... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump gave an interview in the safe confines of Fox & Friends with Ainsley Earhardt (who thinks we defeated "communist" Japan in World War 2) where he argued against his impeachment. It's funny that Trump is talking about impeachment because it makes it a much more likely event than if only Democrats were the ones... Continue Reading →
A lot of conservatives are aghast that many liberals, Democrats, and critics of John McCain are praising him today. Some are even accusing liberals of using his death to attack Donald Trump, thus using his death themselves to attack liberals. Hypocrisy and irony in one grand stroke and they don't get it. But, being able... Continue Reading →
I'm sure corrupt Republicans were corrupt long before Donald Trump became the cult leader of their party. But, he totally emboldened them to push the limits of greed and self-serving. Donald Trump is violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution by making money from his office. Anyone who feels the need to get on Trump's... Continue Reading →
The term "new normal" has been used a lot since Donald Trump entered the White House. As each day introduces us to a fresh new Hell, we focus on certain aspects while glossing over others that we would not have accepted two years ago. Donald Trump admitted he paid off a porn star and a... Continue Reading →
