Feminists of all nationalities and genders need to stick together — There have been many powerful cartoons drawn in recent weeks about the situation in Iran. Wonderful symbolism of women taking control of their own bodies, their hair, their freedom. What I am thinking of lately is that women in the US — actually Americans of all genders — need to…

NYC is back, mostly — The prospect of spending a few hours to live-draw in the streets of NYC is exciting for me. I decide on a neighborhood and just go there, iPad in backpack. Some neighborhoods have more places to sit, which, if I am going to broadcast while I live draw (see below)…

They may be flawed, but it’s good we have them — The New Yorker now has something called the “Daily Cartoon” that runs every weekday on their website. Often it’s a political drawing, but not always. The one above is one I drew on Nov 11th, 2022 during the January 6th Committee final hearings. The magazine asked to use it for…
