American Chopper
Friday, May 14, 2010
This is an idea that’s appeared and re-appeared in my sketchbook in various forms for years. The main thing that’s prevented me from drawing it before now was I had a lot of trouble coming up with a design for Uncle Sam that I felt looked good…
The Bizarro Barry
Saturday, April 24, 2010
I actually spent nearly two weeks working on a new cartoon which was quite a bit longer than the one pictured above. But, after it was plagued with issues, and by the time it was finished, I decided a shorter setup to the same punchline would be better, and drew this instead…
Tortoise Wins by a Hair!

Here’s my cartoon on the historic healthcare reform vote which occurred a few days ago. This was among my more positive ideas for commentary on the subject…

Bus Route of Tears

The gag in this cartoon references the famous Keep America Beautiful “Crying Indian” anti-litter PSA from the ’70s…
