Barry’s BlueSky- Untitled May 7, 2024Deux Ex Machina, Suckers! Another #PoliCartoon (I consider religion political!) by me and @nadinescholtes.bsky.social
- Untitled May 7, 2024New ruling from the Board of Masculine Masculinity: Using your hands to pull your boots on is now effeminate. Real men use their teeth.
- Untitled May 7, 2024A genocide has been going on somewhere in the world every single year for the last twenty. Is culture supposed to come to a halt until tragedies stop happening? I'm furious at Israel, at Hamas, and at Biden, but Gaza isn't the Met Gala's fault.
- Untitled May 7, 2024I second this. An awesome, smart graphic novel that not enough people have read. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
- Untitled May 6, 2024What I find curious about this thread is that the image he's critiquing is much, much more interesting than any of the images he brings up as examples of good images. The "Lois and Clark" images in particular are blandness personified. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Shoppers Go Wild For Walmart Strike
I guess I could have had the shopper trampling a bunch of Walmart managers to help the cashier, but given the news about the Walmart security officer who apparently killed a shoplifter with a chokehold, I didn’t want to make light of Black Friday-related violence. Personally, I find staying home and working instead of going […] Continue reading

Unclear on the Contraception
This notion that birth control pills are now “free,” as Romney claimed in his conference call to donors, needs to end. They are now simply covered by health insurance, which many of us pay for via hefty monthly premiums. We’re actually getting someth… Continue reading

I spend a lot of time on the internet. For a while now, I’ve been growing aware of the need to simplify my life online so I can focus more on paying work. There are some exciting things happening in … Continue reading

This Week’s Cartoon: “Obama Cuts Deal to Live in Tent”
I’ve probably gone a little easier on Obama than some of my peers — not so much because I think he’s doing a great job, but because I have a certain amount of empathy (possibly too much) for anyone trying to run a country this steeped in nutballery. The real problems with American politics are […] Continue reading

This Week’s Cartoon: “Old McDonald’s Had a Farm”
Blogging this one a bit late, as it’s been a busy week. I had a big freelance deadline, spazzed my lower back out, and hosted my sister-in-law and her husband while waddling about like a duck. But better late than never, right?
I originally intended to draw a cartoon about that douchetastic governor of Maine who […] Continue reading

This Week’s Cartoon: “Conservative Counseling”
Continuing with a long series of obnoxious happenings in matters repro, South Dakota has passed a law that pretty much forces women to seek “advice” from those faith-based “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” that I blogged about a few weeks ago. These centers are, as you might expect, notoriously unscientific. Poor South Dakotans. This is the second […] Continue reading

This Week’s Cartoon: “Dictator Do’s and Don’ts”
This strip doesn’t really have much deeper meaning beyond being a vehicle for me to draw Mr. Perkins as Qaddafi. I had started writing this when the Egyptian revolution was taking place, and then updated it for the present. I find it hard to write cartoons about the uprisings in the Middle East, as they […] Continue reading

A reader is upset about my Unplanned Parenthood cartoon:
Hi Jen, this is in response to your recent depiction of Planned Parenthood. First of all, I am not irrationally upset, please do not delete this message upon noting that it is a complaint. My lady associate and I found the particular section “Sexual Assault Victim” to […] Continue reading
