Here's a drawing I did a long time ago. I REALLY like it and it reminds me I used to be pretty capable. I'm so out of practice now I doubt I could even come close to it. But it exists and maybe it can inspire me to practice some more.

I thought this was a hoax. IT HAD TO BE A HOAX. But no, it's reported in multiple news sites. The New York Times has it, but it's paywalled, So I'm using this one. Please google it yourself if you don't like the source. 1/ #rfkjr #vaccine #polio

He's also got 13 other vaccines in the list, including ones that include polio in combination with other diseases. The last case of Polio in America was in 2022, from a traveler who got it elsewhere. This is a horrific disease and you wouldn't want it, nor for anyone to have it. /3

RFK JR, who is nominated to be in charge of all healtchare in the country as part of Donald Trumps cabinet, has an attorney he's been working with for years. That attorney has now filed to get the FDA to REPEAL the approval for the POLIO vaccine. /2

One day Trump posted what anybody would have recognized as a typo, but Trump couldn’t admit an error so he doubled down. Similarly he had pulled us out of the Kyoto records all but killing any chance of meeting climate change goals. So I put them together. #trump #cartoon #climatechange #covfefe

That makeup they use on SNL to make Sarah Sherman look like Matt Gaetz is just FREAKY. It's awesome but freaky. Makes you wonder how much of her face she can actually move under that makeup. #snl #mattgaetz #sarahsherman

(I really want to point out that I got the best image of the General as I could and I actually took the time to get ALL of his ribbons accurate, even at that scale. Which is why he's simply copied to panel 3 as that was a lot of work. :))

The next was about Trump showing classified documents to Russian agents. The art is simplistic. I think I was trying to evoke a 5 1/4” floppy disk visually. #trump #cartoon #classifieddocuments

Next, I was the first, to the best of my knowledge, to use the now common "Russia, Russia, Russia" refrain when knowlege of Russian interference in the election became known. A week later and it was everywhere and my minute of fame was over. :)

Do you remember when Jeff Sessions used the full power of the DoJ to prosecute a woman who laughed loudly when he was described as having a record of being fair and treating everyone equally? That's what this cartoon was about. I remember thinking we couldn't get much worse. I was wrong.

Back when Trump was President the first time, I tried to make a series of cartoons poking at his various foibles. Alas, he demonstrated the ability to make more scandals than I could possibly draw cartoons about in a single day and I ended up giving up in frustration.

By the time the cartoon was done, we were 3 scandals past it and people weren't finding the jokes as funny. But what the heck. He's going to be Moron-in-Charge again soon, so maybe I'll try again. I'll be posting the original run of "Tiny Trump" here, before I get to new ones.

It’s been a year since I joined Bluesky. I did pretty much nothing with it. Came back to check it out again and it is filled with interesting people writing interesting posts and (at least so far) nobody I would want to kick off the Titanic.

You are up to date.
