Friday, Jan 30—National Shutdown

General Strike! No Work. No School. No Shopping. Stop Funding ICE.

Migrating more than 3,000 miles from the northeastern U.S. to southern Mexico, the monarch butterfly has become a powerful symbol of the immigrant rights movement.

"Children's Games" by Eric Drooker

We joined the crowd heading toward Central Park. As the numbers swelled, the march spilled into the streets and moved toward the United Nations, demanding an end to U.S. involvement in Vietnam—with Martin Luther King at the front, leading the way.

“Seasonal Delivery” by Eric Drooker

Every winter, I spotted him ringing his bell outside S. Klein’s department store on East 14th Street.
“But how will Santa get into the apartment?”
We lived on the seventh floor of a high-rise, and there was no chimney or fireplace for him to come down.

Had a lovely time at the Cartoon Art Museum in SF the other night. I’m always curious to confer, converse, and otherwise hobnob with my fellow cartoonists.

“The West Coaster” is an all-star exhibition that will run through February 22, 2026 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco.

“Hellgate Bridge" by Eric Drooker

When I was a kid growing up in lower Manhattan, I was mesmerized by the city’s wild variety of bridges. From my bedroom window, I could see the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance, and as I grew older, I often walked across to Brooklyn.

On May 24th, an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed nineteen children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The shooter was allowed to remain in the classroom for 1 hour and 14 minutes, while Police officers chose not to breach the classroom.

A knife, a fork, a bottle, and a cork.
That's the way we spell New York.

Right on.

I designed this poster for a May Day concert in Tompkins Square Park, in the heart of the East Village back in 1990.

For more than a century, the park was open around the clock—a liberated zone. During the Resist to Exist festival, music, poetry, and political debate filled the park.

"Papa Gede" by Eric Drooker

In Haitian Vodou mythology, Papa Gede was the first man to die—and the first to rise again—laughing.
He wears his stovepipe hat like a crown of mischief, his lips wet with smoke and the taste of apple, sweet and rotting all at once.

“Central Park Row” by Eric Drooker

One of the park’s most iconic features is a serene 20-acre body of water surrounded by lush greenery. Created in the 1850s as part of the park’s original design, what is now a stunning and picturesque pond was once nothing more than a large, untamed swamp.

“Lil’ Kim” by Eric Drooker

What’s with the strange hair? Why have authoritarian rulers throughout history been so obsessed with their coiffures? While the public is more concerned with what lies beneath the hood, many of the world’s tyrants are instantly recognizable by their distinctive haircuts.
