Tribal Scrum
While I hope the current world crisis helps people to slow down and realize that as a society, we can do better, I’m not expecting it. Sadly, there always seem to be enough people in the world willing to fight and lie and oppress in the name of money and power to ruin it for the rest of us. They’ll stir your tribalism by telling you..

Senses
In the beginning, good people saw the Internet as a way to spread information and truth, and bad people saw it as a way to deceive people into handing them more power and/or money. As Jonathan Swift once said, a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes. (This saying is currently widely misattributed to…

SOS or CU L8R?
Our collective reality of late has been very weird. But existence as a human being has always been weird. I first became aware of this when I was a very small child of perhaps four. I remember playing on the floor in the living room of my home, busying myself with some plastic toy or other, when I suddenly had a moment of extreme self-realization…

Class of 666
I think it’s safe to assume that every person who cannot spell well enough to understand this gag probably has someone nearby who can explain it to them. The president could ask one of his Secret Service men, for instance. I think those guys have to pass actual tests to get that job…

Sexy Bulges
When I was an adolescent boy, we used to laugh at how proud of their genitals male chimps in zoos seemed to be. The Internet age, however, has now shown us yet another way in which humans are only barely removed from chimps. The prevalence of so-called “dick pics” leads one to believe…

Going Viral
I had no knowledge of the coming pandemic when I drew and submitted the above cartoon five weeks ago. But a depiction of the fall of Julius Caesar is perhaps very apropos to what is hopefully happening to the Cheeto Mussolini and his empire of cards right now…

Self Driving
As I’ve mentioned here before, for the last several months I’ve been working on a graphic novel. It’s a story of magical realism in the Old West and being immersed in it for so long has caused…

Coffee and Discoloration
Almost none of my cartoons come from actual experiences but almost all of them have some element of my life within them. In the case of the cartoon above…

Doggy Karma
I’ve not closely followed the debate and controversy over so-called support animals, so everything I say here is based on little more than having glanced at a headline here and there. That won’t stop you from vehemently disagreeing with me but it might…


Spoiler Alert
While it’s fun to imagine dimwitted chumps of yesteryear being frightened by technology, it has been pointed out that even though films of this sort were new, people had stood on platforms and watched trains coming “close” to them for a very long time. So even if anyone thought the train was real (which is highly improbable) they’d still be unlikely to run or scream.

Revelations
I’ve done a couple of gags over the years about there being two kinds of Indian restaurants—which, to my knowledge, there are not—but I still find this theme and the above expansion of the topic funny. For those who’ve not seen as many cowboy movies as I have, “pemmican” is…

Hard of Herding
My favorite aspect of this cartoon is the nonchalant courage with which the gray tabby confronts the horse. This is our gray tabby, Lola, to a tee when faced with pretty much anything the world can throw at her…

A Few Good Men Times Two
Film aficionados will get this cartoon instantly but many others won’t. In a moment, I’ll provide a link to an article that will explain it but see if you can get there on your own first. One helpful hint might be…

Ultimate Selfie
If you’re not familiar with Oscar Wilde’s brilliant The Picture of Dorian Gray, this cartoon will likely fall flat. Go read it and come back. (tick, tick, tick) Now that you’ve enjoyed this classic…

AI vs. AI
I don’t suppose anyone is surprised anymore by the behavior of the GOP under their Manchurian candidate. But just a few years ago it was unthinkable that a politician, particularly one representing the Republican party and who skipped out of serving by having a rich dad, could get away with…

Feeding the Bear
I’m not one to have new year’s resolutions but I have a grand, new project planned for 2020 that I’m so excited about I can barely refrain from crying and pooping my pants…

Questionable Humor
Many people find the act of explaining a joke to be violating some kind of unwritten law. Yes, when jokes are explained they are less funny than if you “get” them by yourself. But many of my jokes are intentionally opaque or obscure, so…

Kids Today
I’d like to thank The Apricot Assfruit for writing this cartoon for me. Sadly, I only had room to illustrate eleven of his childish and appalling practices. As well as this cartoon works, I wish it did not have reason to exist. But politics, like life, is…
