I was thinking this morning that I need to give my clients a few different options in Christmas cartoons, and maybe incorporate them into some heavy subjects, like the Defense of Marriage Act, Title 42, and maybe Kevin McCarthy's floundering and petulant attempt to become Speaker of the House. But then I thought of this... Continue Reading →
NFT Trump
Did you hear about Trump's latest con? It's awesome in a horrible way. I love it. A few days ago, Trump "truthed," in all caps, that "America needs a superhero" and he'd be making (again in all caps) a "major" announcement. Oh, my lordy, what could this "major" announcement be? Was he going to drop... Continue Reading →
MTG Attack
Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted she's on the same side as domestic terrorists. Over the weekend at a goose-stepping function of some sort, MTG was a featured guest along with Steve Bannon, who'll be going to jail soon, and she said, "I want to tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we...

We The BZZZZZZZZTT!…
Republicans are so tone-deaf that they don't see it's a bad idea to have their caucus led by a guy named McCarthy. Back in the 1950s, Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy used the Cold War to paint people he didn't like as communists and focused on people in government, universities, and the film industry. He... Continue Reading →

The Best Gaslighter

What is "gaslighting?" It's "the act or practice of grossly misleading someone, especially for... Continue Reading →
Which Corruption?
Last week, a Manhattan jury found the Trump Organization guilty on 17 criminal counts stemming from a tax-dodging executive-compensation scheme. The company would pay executives with apartments, cars, tuition, etc, and not pay taxes on the lavish gifts. Former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, the scheme’s chief beneficiary, pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against... Continue Reading →
Much Ado About Nothing
I've seen several cartoons from right-wingers about the so-called Twitter Files, but none from the left, so I decided to take a stab at it. The Twitter Files is Elon's release of internal documents from head Twitter honchos over blocking "news" on its platform about Hunter Biden's laptop in the weeks before the 2020 election....

King Throne Scepter
Donald Trump has called for terminating the United Constitution and he's basing this on the release of the so-called Twitter Files. Let's back up. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He tried to steal it after he lost it. He spread a dozen conspiracy theories and his lawyers lost over 60 court cases in multiple... Continue Reading →
Friends in Low Low Low Low Low Low Places
