Can We Call It Fascism Yet?
Another strip drawn by the amazing Mike Lawrence. From an official press release on whitehouse.gov, July 16 2026: Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller made clear there must be no retreat: “One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is … Continue reading
Fox Goggles
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
Radical Gender Ideology
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
Reasons To Support Trump
I’m generally against “bothsidesism,” but one thing I believe conservatives and liberals have in common in the U.S.: We both find the other side’s choices completely, utterly incomprehensible. And nothing is harder to comprehend, in the lefty (a.k.a. my) mindset, … Continue reading
What Freedom Looks Like

Comic: We’ve Got Nothing Against Immigrants, Except the Immigrant Ones
I’m chuffed to again collaborate with R.E. Ryan, whose last cartoon with me was “Let’s Outlaw Being Homeless” over a year ago. I love the way his drawing recalls the style of classical cartooning. (Or so it looks to me, … Continue reading
Cartoon: The End of PEPFAR
Check out the timelapse drawing video (including video of Frank Young’s coloring process). TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. All of them show three people – a casually dressed woman, a politician type in a suit, and a … Continue reading
(comic) Standing Aside Athwart History
This cartoon is drawn by the wonderful cartoonist Jenn Lee. (And doesn’t that carpeting in panel four look amazing?) “Athwart” is such a great word. I should look for chances to drop it into everyday conversation. (“I’m athwart live-action versions … Continue reading
Cartoon: Moving Out
There’s a timelapse drawing video for this cartoon – check it out! For my entire life – and much longer than that – conservatives have been anti-Russia. In the 1980s, if a conservative talked about “the evil empire,” you didn’t need to … Continue reading
