I'm a cartoonist who used to want an old school staff political cartoonist job at a newspaper. Then along came online news and web animation.

I stopped doing traditional political cartoons and started doing political animation for online news sites full-time around 2000. From the George W. Bush years to Trump, I've created around 1000 animated shorts-- but it freaks me out when I count them.

My cartoons have appeared in places like the San Francisco Chronicle's website, CBSNews.com, NPR.com, Newsweek.com and MotherJones.com.

You can see some of my more recent work here:

I also do a daily cartoon and comics journalism for KQED News in San Francisco:

I've won some awards but it seems like it would be annoying to list them here.

AMA!

Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

Posted: 23 Feb 2019 08:00 AM PST

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

  1. Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
  2. It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
  3. Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
