Corporate Horse
Saturday, July 28, 2012
A commoner like your humble author is unable to get regular checkups or preventative medicine, and scores of the lower-class die every year from conditions more easily treatable than Ann Romney’s M.S., while she, meanwhile, gets to write off a prescription horse.
Job Creationism
Friday, July 13, 2012
I started this cartoon as a general attack on the term “job creators” and the kinds of people it’s been used to defend, when, about 24 hours later, Romney went and made it more immediately relevant with a condescending speech to the NAACP, which was deservedly booed…

Friday, May 11, 2012
Several weeks ago, I read an article discussing how much Mitt Romney had to spend per vote to win the Republican nomination, as well as the projected influence of Super PACs over the 2012 Presidential Election. The headline alone had me immediately reflecting on how the Presidency, as well as most significant political power, is more often bought than it is earned…

Rescue 9-9-9
Friday, October 28, 2011
The title of this cartoon references Herman Cain’s rich-friendly tax “plan,” and Rescue 9-1-1, a popular reality show from the ’80s and ’90s which was about actual emergency response telephone calls, and was hosted by William Shatner…
Don’t Tread on Me
Thursday, September 29, 2011
It takes at least two for you to have a war, but all we’ve seen lately has been one side savagely flogging the other without much being done in the way of retaliation. If what Obama’s calling for is “class warfare,” then the status quo could be called a “class massacre”…
Whodunit
Saturday, August 6, 2011
Continuing President Bush’s tax cuts for the rich means the government won’t have the funds necessary to maintain infrastructure, help states out with their struggling economies, or continue funding programs that take care of the poor and the sick…
