Schnauzer dad, digital artist who also dabbles in real life media. Political cartoonist with a center-left bent.
Cassidy Caved Watching Bill Cassidy announce his vote to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General struck me as a guy who was facing execution. He seemed terrified, fueling wild speculation on social media about what he’s afraid of.
Golden Dome Over the last couple of days, Dear Leader has been seen wearing an obvious and utterly ridiculous hair piece. I’m not sure which particular species of rodent gave its life for the cause, but the color and sheen immediately struck me as having an unnatural shimmer.
There is so much to be furious about with regard to these MAGA assholes every single day, but the pettiness and outrageous, transparent abuse of power targeted at a lone, innocent citizen in this episode is still particularly infuriating.
Doublespeak Accounting When I heard the disgusting report of how the Pentagon had lowered the official death toll of the “Iran War” by four, because people who died last weekend were killed “after the cease fire,” I reacted quite strongly. Trumpism relentlessly attacks even the most simple truths.
It occurs to me that this Lindsey Graham drawing is particularly resonant in this moment.
I’ve only drawn Lindsey Graham a half a dozen times or so, but this one from 2021 kind of sums him up for me.
Madman Just quoting Dear Leader’s posting to social media late last night.
Not a surprise, really, when you really think about it. Haley has long been desperate to amp up her appeal to the MAGAverse. Remember how she dutifully came to Dear Leader’s defense over the Ukraine quid pro quo phone call with this particularly lame justification?
Happy Birthday? Uncle Sam as I drew him for his last birthday. I’ve been trying to imagine what he’d look like if I were to redraw him again for his 250th. How would he look after the additional wear and corrosion of the last 12 months? Any suggestions? Does anybody think he’d be looking healthier?
