“Danny has a problem paying attention and following instructions,” read the damning note scrawled across my report card. My parents lectured me, but…I wasn’t paying attention.

Being different has always been stigmatized. Most of us outside the norm strive to “fit in.” But should we?

The week’s cartoons and some inspiration from Toni Morrison.

Our week of cartoons plus my thoughts on the differences between Halloween and Day of the Dead. I’ve included some photos of our celebration in Mexico.

The week’s Bizarro comics and some excerpts from a story about my youth that involves famous fashion models and a fraud.

In my weekly newsletter to subscribers of my creative writing thing The Naked Cartoonist, I explained that, like a NASCAR driver who has to pick up his dry cleaning and grab a few things at the market in the middle of a big race, I am driving myself too hard…

Announcing two auctions of original cartoon art, plus our weekly cartoons and commentary. Chuckles await.

Because I cleverly programmed my various cartoon and creative writing crap to post on the internet while I was gone, you probably didn’t notice I’ve been on a much-needed vacation.

For a couple of weeks, Olive Oyl and I were in California and visited Yosemite National Park. 

Yowza! That place is so not ugly, we could not help but be inspired and humbled...

This week's Bizarro blog post includes the week's cartoons and my thoughts on why I love dogs and cats. (No recipes included)

If this week's Sunday cartoon confuses you, it’s probably because you didn’t pay attention in your history of surrealism class. We're here to help.

The week's cartoons plus my story about identifying a perp in a police lineup. All true!

The week's cartoons and what I have in common with Tarzan...

Welcome, humor seekers. Thanks for spending a few minutes with us.

Before I was syndicated, I assumed published cartoonists were rich. I assumed erroneously...

Big news this week! My able partner Wayno won a big award!

A special announcement!

Our amazing fellow earthlings in the arachnid family are cursed with eight limbs. Cursed, because though lots of folks are creeped out by six-legged creatures (insects) almost

The week’s Bizarro cartoons and a charming chat about sidekicks and make-believe.

If you’ve never been inside the Statue of Liberty, you may not know that she is entirely anatomically correct inside, with all of her organs fashioned out of sheets of copper just like her exterior shell…

The question of whether the puppet at right is yearning for freedom from an unseen overlord or intending to end his life suddenly occurred to me as I posted this today and has inspired me to write an essay about that question in The Naked Cartoonist in the very near future. As usual, it will be philosophical comedy or comedic philosophy.

As for today’s cartoon…

The act (if not the art) of writing has become exponentially easier in my lifetime. I took a typing class in 9th grade and still contend it was the most valuable thing I learned in school. I have typed exponentially more often than I have solved for x…

Around eight or ten years ago, King Features asked me to move my blog to their Comics Kingdom website. I like KF, they’ve done right by me, but I decided against it for several reasons, chief among them was that you’d have to have a subscription to that site to read my posts.

They’ve recently redesigned the whole site and it’s much better, but I’m still staying here.
