Two Toms Talking Theology

Posted on July 10, 2026 by Ampersand

This comic was drawn by R.E. Ryan, who did a great job rendering my silly version of Colonial America. In 2023, Senator Josh Hawley posted this quote, attributing it to Founding Father Patrick Henry: It cannot be emphasized too strongly … Continue reading →

Wishing Immigrants Away

Posted on July 8, 2026 by Ampersand

I’m always amazipalled (portmanteau between “amazed” and “appalled” that I don’t expect to catch on) at how willing MAGA is to demolish the US’s future prospects and economy. Their own children and grandchildren will be poorer for it, and they … Continue reading →

What Will Future Archeologists Say?

Posted on July 6, 2026 by Ampersand

Thanks to R. E. Ryan for his wonderful sci-fi art on this one! I originally posted this on Patreon in 2024, but apparently I spaced out on posting it on Alas and Leftycartoons at the time. (Glares in annoyance at … Continue reading →

Fox Goggles

Posted on June 17, 2026 by Ampersand

It took me a few tries to write this strip. It’s the most vexing question of the Trump era, for me: How can so many people support Trump? I’ve known a bunch of Trump supporters. Many of them, in face … Continue reading →

The Kitchen Table Cycle

Posted on June 8, 2026 by Ampersand

In the wake of the 2024 election, a poll from Blueprint found that a lot of swing voters believed that “Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class.” Predictably, many centrist … Continue reading →

Nice Purse!

Posted on June 5, 2026 by Ampersand

This cartoon is by me and Becky Hawkins. I’m not like this character – serenely unaware of mean comments. But I aspire to be like him. (Maybe I am like this character, but since I’m unaware of the comments I … Continue reading →

Good News About Work And AI!

Posted on June 2, 2026 by Ampersand

From a report in Fortune: AI is actually increasing strain for most employees, as the tools add more time to menial tasks, and actually takes away from deep-focus work. Since adopting AI into their workflows, time spent across every job … Continue reading →

The Search

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Ampersand

This strip is drawn by the awesome Mike Lawrence, who really went wild with the chicken fat! I wrote this strip two months ago, after coming across this story: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing an unusual wave … Continue reading →

Radical Gender Ideology

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Ampersand

This cartoon is by me and Nadine Scholtes. In a way, it’s also by Samantha Fulnecky, because a lot of the dialog was swiped verbatim from a paper she wrote. But I don’t think she’d appreciate a co-writing credit. “Radical … Continue reading →

Centrist Dems Pre and Post Election

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Ampersand

When Kamala Harris lost the election, a lot of centrist Democrats blamed progressives (as they did when Hillary Clinton lost in 2016), and it’s been a constant drumbeat of recrimination ever since. I’m talking about folks like Quentin Fulks, who … Continue reading →
