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.

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.

A Senator from Wyoming has introduced a bill to force the US Government to buy BITCOIN and store it for at least 20 years. This has no purpose other than to enrich the people who currently hold bitcoin and cannot sell it because it's a useless fantasy currency with no real value.

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.

This is where it really started to annoy me that the scandals just never stopped.

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.

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.

The next cartoon was, well, rather simplistic response to Trumps narcissism constantly telling us how only HE could do something.

The second TinyTrump cartoon was a simple one, drawn on his inauguration day, expressing my fears of what was to come.

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.

Today I get lab work then injections for my kidney cancer. It’s not painful but it is a long boring day.

Some days it is really hard to be a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. Detroit is slaughtering us.

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.

Lets assume Santa has decided it's time to get out of Fossil Fuels. What would he give to bad children instead of a lump of coal?
