A heads up for comics fans: Volume 1 of The Graphics Canon is out now. (I’m in Volume 3, not 1.) They asked cartoonists to illustrate literary classics in their own styles. Also worth noting, for New Yorkers, is the launch party tomorrow night at the Rubin Museum. […]
An auction house claims to be auctioning off a vial of Ronald Reagan’s blood. Is it a vegetable? I don’t understand why people are mad. Except I sure wouldn’t pay thousands of dollars for old ice. Having a bad day? At least Reagan is still dead—so we’ve got that working for us. […]
Does President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage extend to the courage to defend gay Afghans and Pakistanis targeted by his illegal assassinations by drone? […]
(Sorry, the first version published defectively. I have no idea what happened. If I had been drinking when I hit “Publish” I’d just admit it. But the strongest thing I had that day was coffee. I removed some paragraphs that more or less repeated what I’d already written for this post. When I added material, […]
Today at 10:45 am Occupy the East End illegally foreclosed on the Bank of America branch in East Hampton NY. 1%ers are already flocking to the Hamptons, so we thought they needed a political wake up call.

For years Obama was too cowardly to support the right of gays and lesbians to marry. Now that that right is popular with voters, however, he has changed his mind. And now he’s bragging about his courage. […]
Despite a lot of support—130 people promised $9435—my Kickstarter project is obviously going to be a bust. There are 50 hours to go, and the rate of pledges has simply seized up. So what went wrong? It’s anybody’s guess. Among some of the conjectures I’ve heard are: The economy is shitty. Kickstarter is oversaturated. Without […]
I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times about issues related to California and the Southland (metro Los Angeles). This week: Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposal for closing California’s $16-billion funding gap includes 4-day state workweeks and Medi-Cal cuts. He warns that cuts will be even more severe if voters reject tax hikes on the November […]
