Underwear Bomb
I drew a version of this one in 2006, anticipating the 2010 underwear bomb. With a slight caption revision, it’s as good today as it was then. As Mark Twain once observed, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. To see more cartoons like Underwear Bomb, have them delivered to your email, join the [...]

Higher Math
Congress, as usual, is paralyzed. It can’t figure out how to extend the low-cost student loan program. Without Congressional action, the interest rate will double, from 3.4 percent to 6.8, on July 1. The cost of extending the program for a year is estimated to be $6 billion. With the economy still weak and with [...]

Showoff
I’ve grown to hate presidential campaigns. No matter what either candidate does, the other guy, and the echo chamber of his supporters in Congress and the media, will attack it. Obama may be guilty of over-celebrating the anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden, but one has to ask how the Republicans would be [...]

Patent Pending
The big tech companies are spending billions to stockpile patents. Earlier this month Microsoft paid more than $1 million each for 925 AOL patents, Microsoft then sold 650 of them to Facebook for $550 million. Google and Apple have aggressively hoarded patents, as well. The reason? Yes, these companies still create amazing new products, but [...]

Going Down
As usual, this completely dysfunctional Congress can’t seem to find the fix for Social Security. The trust fund is now estimated to run out of money in 2033, three years earlier than previously anticipated. After that, taxes will cover only about 75 percent of promised benefits. It’s still not all that hard to fix it. [...]

The Final Frontier
It’s sad to see the space shuttle Discovery being flown to the Smithsonian. Not that the shuttle hadn’t outlived its usefulness, but there’s no replacement for it, meaning that manned space exploration, at least by Americans, is over for now and likely for a long time to come. The space program, for me and [...]

Down With the Ship
Another Titanic cartoon. Hey, we only get the centennial of the sinking once. The Ryan budget, now the official budget of the Republican Party and Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, is certainly bold. It’s also radical. Over time, it would essentially limit the federal government’s spending to defense, Medicare and Social Security, and it would drastically [...]
