Today's jpost.com cartoon

Slow news day, so I decided to trot out a general subject that been preying on my mind for some time. The single biggest reason I believe we'll never, ever have peace in our time? The entire current and next generation of PA Arabs have basically been brainwashed into despising us and preparing to fight us since birth. It's depressing, really.

Today's J. Post cartoon

From innocuous beginnings, the potential ramifications of MK David Rotem's proposed Conversions Bill have upset the Jewish community both here and abroad--with no one, of course, the winner in this depressingly polarizing argument.

Today's J. Post cartoon

Finally, after a month and a half, the Post has seen fit to have one of my gratis cartoons grace their pages.
This one shows the general international reaction to the IDF's release of declassified documents proving Hizbullah's systematic (ab)use of civilian cover during wartime.
UPDATE: This has now become my second really popular cartoon, picked up by the israel matzav blog and then disseminated throughout the right-wing Internets.

Hurrah, just made my first online freelance sale!

Horse wearing riding helmet

Sketch for proposed logo for riding helmets company. Not chosen.

Ripped From the Archives: November 2008

Another trifecta of published 'toons.


I think this one pretty much speaks for itself.


As does this one...


After a hard-fought primary election, Tzipi Livni beat out Shaul Mofaz for PM Ehud Olmert's position as head of Kadima. In real life, however, Olmert was not so ready to relinquish his official capacity. This wound up leading to national elections a short time later.

Nothing patriotic about these rockets' red glares... and nothing funny (beyond the darkest and bleakest end of the spectrum) about our so-called "Defense" Minister's claims.
