Today I was both traveling and inspired, and wrote a 2,800+ word essay about why I think Timothée Chalamet didn't say what you think he said about opera and ballet, and how my work in political cartooning helped me understand that. Read the article here: open.substack.com/pub/stateoft...

Currently throwing together a Substack article about why I think most people I’ve seen talking about it are misunderstanding the Timothée Chalamet quote about ballet and opera, for the most part, and how my experience in political cartooning has helped me see why

There was a fun craft fair taking place at Union Station earlier today... lots of great items, many handmade, but so much AI imagery. I saw at least 3 different banners featuring AI art, and a booth selling numerous canvas totes with AI art. Artists could have made those...

I have whiplash from this local store having massive AI-generated murals and ridiculously impressive handmade 3-D art right next to each other. What are this store’s values about valuing and uplifting talented artists? Who knows?

I was working with an elementary-aged art student today on arranging figurines in her house for still-life drawings. I don’t know if she’ll choose these guys but I may draw them myself on my own

Now Playing on 22 Panels: A discussion with 2024 Locher Fellowship Recipient Alexandra Bowman

If the ultimate goal is maximizing American prosperity, I don't think Donald Trump understands how much a UK-made Doctor Who sonic screwdriver and a handmade Cats tail that he's now preventing from being shipped to the US contribute to (an) America(n)'s prosperity

Was just reminded that Paramount/CBS owns the character "Stephen Colbert" of the Colbert Report. While the Late Show found a loophole, I doubt the current CBS administration will stand for it. Hopefully the Report 2.0 isn't dead in the water as a result www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvkF...

No one asked. But within the new Hot Topic HTTYD line, "Hiccup Color-Block Hoodie" (right) has solved the issue that kneecaps the "Night Fury Girls Hoodie" (left) You cannot blend clip art/typed lettering and hand-drawn visuals and achieve tonal cohesion. The Hiccup hoodie understands this

To reply to some right-wingers' comments on my most recent cartoon: yes, I know, the Empire in Star Wars was meant to represent the United States. Yes. Uh huh. Yep.

Tragically I have just purchased AirPods. They are worth the money but I have one note... very cool that the volume will go down when they hear you talking to someone, but they should know not to do that when you're belting along to the music

Following up on the thoughts I shared this morning about political cartooning as an art form in a new Substack essay on "State of the Arts." Read below: stateofthearts.substack.com/p/essay-what...

I hesitate to reply to or comment on any other cartoonists’ work directly. I just saw one this morning that I think is representative of a common problem:

Over the last few weeks I’ve developed a Hadestown hyperfixation. In terms of overall quality and use of the medium I think it’s second only to Les Mis. (I love Cats but I have eyes)

Re: the current Kennedy Center Les Mis news… Yeah. Who would want to dance for the king? #theater #politicalcartoon #politics #LesMiserables #musical

Incredible. I just met someone at an anime convention who says they likely saw one of my cartoons… maybe involving a donkey?… on the /goodboomerhumor subreddit. That’s right… GOOD boomer humor. I’ve already arrived at 25
