Lisa Benson of Gocomics

It’s Sunday, so it must be time for the Los Angeles Times Choice Awards! For editorial cartoons, that is! I had to wade through a lot of elephants saying no to Obama (for Supreme Court nominees), and a lot of  Tea Party ridiculers, and of course Sarah Palin haters, before I found these gems. (I [...]

The Ghost of White House Christmas Trees Past.

Obama needs a night cap for his rendezvous with the Christmas Tree

I watched part of the White House Christmas Special that Oprah put on, with my renewed interest in smoggy, buggy, busy Washington, now that I have to DRAW it. I need more pictures and details, to draw it. I can’t tell you how many school trips and family trips we had to Wash DC. Then [...]

As it happens, this was also today’s cartoon I did for Slate, so kill 2 with one stone, and all that good stuff. Right after Obama took office he cancelled Bush’s plans to [...]
