Cartoon: Self-Medicating My ADHD
This cartoon is drawn by Nadine Scholtes, who I’m beginning to suspect enjoys drawing cats. The business with the cat in the foreground was my idea, except that in the script I had the cat napping in panel four, and … Continue reading

Cartoon: In My Day, Young Women Never Dressed Like That

Cartoon: Nonbinaries Don’t Care About Your Bullshit
This cartoon is drawn by Nadine Scholtes. People online who hate nonbinary people are strikingly bitter about it, and for no reason I can understand. “What’s wrong with these people?” they growl, and go on and on about how “narcissistic” … Continue reading
Cartoon: Generations
This cartoon was drawn by the remarkable Nadine Scholtes. I don’t believe in generations. Or at least, I don’t believe in generational personalities. It’s like astrology; it’s fun to make huge sweeping generalizations about big groups of people. More than … Continue reading

Cartoon: G.O.P. Approved History
Welcome back to artist R. E. Ryan! This is the second cartoon he’s done with me; I certainly hope there’ll be more. In 2019, the New York Times published The 1619 Project, an anthology of essays and other works arguing … Continue reading
