Vladimir Putin claims that Ukraine striking a bridge is an act of terrorism, so he responded by firing missiles from drones into playgrounds. After weeks of military setbacks for Russia with Ukraine retaking over 1,200 square miles since late September, the destruction of a bridge from Crimea into Russia came off as an exclamation point....

It's time for roughs. All of these were drawn last Friday, September 23, except for the first one. It was drawn the day before. All of these are on Russia, Putin, and Ukraine, except for the first one. I liked this cartoon and the only reason I didn't do it is that I had already... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I already wrote a blog on this subject, so if you want another, I suggest your click the link above to my editor's column in the newsletter. But in case you're wondering, yes. When I draw a... Continue Reading →
A reader sent me a cartoon idea this morning and it wasn't bad. Thomas, a nice guy it seems, suggested I draw a cartoon of Edward Snowden being drafted by the Russian military now that President Vladimir Putin has granted him Russian citizenship. Not bad, Thomas. Of course, I'm not going to draw Thomas' idea... Continue Reading →
Vladimir Putin believed Ukraine was going to launch a new offensive in the south, so he deployed troops from the northeast of Ukraine to defend the south...and Ukraine then launched a major offensive in the northeast. Ukraine played rope-a-dope and Putin was the dope. Ukraine forces were able to recapture dozens of villages and towns... Continue Reading →
I've heard from critics before, "I shouldn't have to read your blog to understand your cartoon." They're right. I don't write this blog to explain my cartoons. If someone doesn't get my cartoon, it's either because they don't know the background to the issue, they're slow, or I failed. I will usually take the blame,... Continue Reading →
After the Russian warship, Moskva was struck by two Ukrainian missiles, the official position of the Kremlin was "nyuh-uh." The first response was that it was a small fire from an explosion in their ammunition storage. That could be true. There was an explosion in their ammunition storage...after it was hit by two Ukrainian missiles.... Continue Reading →
I like to draw cartoons about Vladimir Putin I know I wouldn't be able to publish in Russia. How tall of a building would a Russian cartoonist get thrown off of after drawing a Putin bunny? As we all know, Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. His invasion alone can be considered a war crime... Continue Reading →
I quoted an everyday ordinary man-on-the-Moscow-streets in yesterday's blog who refuses to believe Russia has committed war crimes in Bucha, and probably anywhere else. He said, "If this is not fake, my brain refuses to accept it." Since he lives in Russia, the news he has access to probably won't ever tell him it's not... Continue Reading →
After Ukrainian forces retook the city of Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, hundreds of murdered civilians were discovered. The mayor says nearly 300 bodies have been found in mass graves and on the streets. Many bodies were found with hands tied behind backs. Russia says it's all a hoax. At the very least, to claim... Continue Reading →
