I did not have a great Friday. I woke up with a cold. Someone clogged the toilet in the worst way and ignored it...again (when they close the lid they know what they did, right? Surprise!). Oh yeah. A fascist human Cheeto became president of the United States. What many of us thought was impossible has... Continue Reading →
Obama’s Exit
This is the last cartoon I'll ever draw on Barack Obama while he's still president. It's kinda sad. It's also frightening. Blood curdling terrifying even. I intended to draw something reflective of his legacy but I wasn't really into it. Once again I went with making an attempt at humor, and hopefully to spotlight what's... Continue Reading →
Commuting Manning
Like most presidents before President Obama is issuing pardons and commuting sentences in his last days in office. Obama has commuted more sentences than the last 12 presidents combined. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Out of the 1,385 since 2014 540 were serving life sentences for low-level drug offenses. As usual pardons and commutations... Continue Reading →
Suckers!
P.T. Barnum wasn't just the founder of Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was a man who celebrated hoaxes and he had goofy hair. He had a museum for a while and once displayed the Fiji Mermaid, which was actually the head of a monkey sewn onto the body of a fish. As crazy as that... Continue Reading →
All Action
Today's cartoon and blog post is coming to you from lovely downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia, America's most historic city. Speaking of historic, John Lewis is historic. The man is a Civil Rights icon. Donald Trump decided to honor the man three days before Martin Luther King Jr. day by tweeting (or course) that he's "all talk... Continue Reading →
The Perpetrator
If don't believe misinformation, lies, and fake news contributed to Hillary Clinton losing the presidential election, go talk to a Trump voter. The fact the public viewed Trump as more honest than Hillary Clinton is proof the disinformation campaign was effective. I don't believe there was one contributing factor that handed the presidency of the... Continue Reading →
Golden Showers
For months rumors have been circulating among the press and politicians in Washington that the Russian government has serious dirt on Donald Trump they can use to compromise the president elect. What sort of details could they possibly have that would deter Trump supporters? He's a racist? Xenophobic? Islamophobic? Assaults women? Likes to watch teenage contestants... Continue Reading →
The Devil Wears Pravda
When it comes to Donald Trump, his supporters, and surrogates like Kellyanne Conway, you read and hear a lot of mind boggling statements. It's scary that since it's a daily thing that it's becoming the new normal and we move on from one outrage to another. The news cycle rarely has time to absorb it... Continue Reading →
Ignore The Man Behind The Butt
The more that the Russian hacking story develops the angrier I get. I'm angry that the Russians did this. I'm angry they succeeded. I'm angry that we have a president-elect who's becoming more and more complicit with the Russians. I'm angry that his supporters allowed themselves to be played by the Russians and continue to...

It’s Tricky
Sometimes a cartoonist has to be careful that he may love the drawing so much that the idea isn't actually very good. I had to ask myself that tonight as I love drawing Richard Nixon. I don't get many opportunities because, you know, he's dead. My very first convention for political cartoonists took place in... Continue Reading →
