Happy Holidays and hope for 2017
Thanksgiving
The dark tunnel in front of us…
While I’m under the weather I’ll post this from a few weeks ago, since it expresses my feeling where this country is going. Really hope I’m wrong.
If you haven’t read, now might be a good time…
…and if you have, a re-read is in order. I’m planning to.
(That’s the changed version I created right after the election results on 11/9; you can find the original title here)
It Just Happened Here. President Trump
In August I drew this graphic essay for The Washington Post, which ran both online and in print.

It’s Election Day
Get out and vote, you Nasty Women.
Some 2016 election catch up….
As most of you can identify with, it’s been a crazy election season and I’ve let my website fall behind.

I think there was a total of 5 windows but these are the only photos I’ve found so far. The concept, if I recall, was the FAO Schwarz train’s journey from Grand Central Station through NYC landmarks to its final destination on Fifth Avenue. See the Mary Blair influence in the Central Park window?
The Democratic and Republican debates before the New Hampshire primary
This past Wednesday CNN hosted a Democratic town hall with the last two standing, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (click images to see all my sketches over at the Washington Post).
On Thursday the Democrats held their last debate before the primary
…and the Republicans held their debate. We’re down to only 8 candidates now!
Discussing free speech and Charlie Hebdo 1 year later
My excellent colleague Signe Wilkinson and I were on C-Span this weekend talking about Charlie Hebdo, free speech, and a few other things…
