School Voucher Vulture
POSTED June 17, 7:26 PM


Even The Washington Post's editorial says Eleanor Holmes Norton shouldn't discard the D.C. school voucher program that gives low-income students the ability to attend private schools. The Examiner wrote its own editorial about it last week. In the spirit of fairness, here is Holmes Norton's stance as elucidated in the Post.
 
SUV Nostalgia
POSTED June 5, 8:00 PM


I had high ambitions for this cartoon that ultimately got tempered due to deadline pressures and equipment snafu. It was a much funnier cartoon (I thought) earlier in the day before my editor nixed the caption, "Uh oh ... I've gone from one gas crisis to another!" Alas, 'twas a bit too crass. I also ended up running out of the regular paper I use, so I had to dip in to my backup stash, which has a completely different texture. Oh well. One lucky thing about newspapering is that you get to move on to a blank piece of paper each day.
 
System Failure

The D.C. government's tax office can't seem to do anything right nowadays! See this article from Monday's newspaper for the scoop.
 
The Pope and D.C.'s Religion
POSTED April 16, 7:51 PM


There were so many "easy jokes" I could do regarding Pope Benedict's visit to Washington, D.C. (Since he's holding mass at Nationals Park, my first thought was to draw a gag about hiding the bat boys.) I wanted to approach the topic from a different tact. The Pope is considered by billions to be the highest moral authority on Earth, so the fact that he was visiting -- to paraphrase "Star Wars" -- one of the most wretched hives of scum and villainy strikes a nice contrast.

We're still getting the bugs out of the new Web site design, and I can't tell if anyone's reading the blog. If anyone's reading it, leave comments to let me know you're out there and, more importantly, to spark some discussion about the 'toons and topics!
