Jim Morin, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist for the Miami Herald, has produced his second animated cartoon for the newspaper. In the cartoon, Morin shows us what an “alien” visiting our planet might find.

Here’s my new cartoon on Tiger Woods.  We have a great new collection of cartoons about Tiger Woods’ troubles here.  Come look!
I know that I make people angry when I draw any kind of religious metaphor.  Be polite with comments.  The caricature of Woods at the right was drawn by Nate Beeler of the Washington [...]

I admit to swinging both ways, sometimes, when I express my editorial viewpoint. It’s just too easy to poke fun of politicians whether or not I disagree with their policies. Like most editorial cartoonists, I’m easily amused but rarely outraged by the shenanigans in Washington.
So, judging from the cartoons that illustrate this blog, just how [...]

I wanted to pass along the happy news that after almost 4 months, Apple has finally approved my iPhone app, and it’s available for download right now at iTunes.

A cartoon depicting an Ohio state senator as Aunt Jemima that appeared in an African American newspaper has led to calls for one of the paper’s advisors, NAACP President George Forbes, to step down.

I was saddened to read that editorial cartoonist Don Addis has died.
On a less sad but still somber note, I would urge everyone to read this latest post by my editorial cartoonist friend, Steve Greenberg, about recent challenges in his career.  This is must reading for the legions of aspiring editorial cartoonists who are always [...]

Today marks a milestone my friends never expected, but which I inwardly worried might come. One year ago, I joined the ranks of the laid-off, and began a journey of uneasy new directions.

President Obama has been criticized by some quarters for his seeming inability to make a quick decision whether to commit more troops to Afghanistan.

My home state has been kicking the budget can down the road for years and is finally running out of road. California is facing its biggest budget deficit ever — a staggering $21 billion, or 49.3 percent of the state’s general revenue fund.
As a political cartoonist I look for bad guys to skewer in my [...]

We’ve just added a new cartoonist to our Cagle.msnbc.com site.  Ramzy Taweel is a freelance, West Bank Palestinian cartoonist, who works as a graphic artist and as a “media officer” for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.  See Ramzy’s cartoon archive here.  And there’s more on Ramzy in my blog four weeks ago.

Here’s my latest cartoon on the upcoming Israel/Hamas prisoner swap. I’m putting it here in the blog because I know how all of you love to comment on Palestinian cartoons.

Okay, so it’s not really “cartoon news,” but do I really need an excuse to take a break and share the best video of the day? Of course not. So carve out 5 minutes of your busy time, and enjoy the Muppets taking on Queen’s mega-hit Bohemian Rhapsody.

One of my favorite cartoonists is Gary Brookins, the conservative cartoonist who also draws the comics Shoe and Pluggers.  Gary had been the editorial cartoonist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch and was laid off recently in the national, newspaper bloodletting.  (In fact, it wasn’t long ago that the Times-Dispatch had two cartoonists; the other was Bob Gorrell.)
Gary [...]

Over a long career drawing caricatures and editorial cartoons, I can report that Sarah Palin is one of the greatest gifts ever to our profession! She’s more fun than Bill and Hillary combined. She has the intellectual wattage of George W. Bush coupled with the paranoia of Richard Nixon! And that presents endless comic opportunities [...]

My alma mater is marking its 60th year, as is its student newspaper. Long Beach State, or more properly California State University Long Beach, was born in 1949 and was saddled with the school nickname of the Forty-Niners (the lame football mascot was a big-chinned character holding a gold-mining pan… yeah, real scary to [...]

Sometimes I like to vary the dimensions of my cartoons. Most editorial cartoons are the same 1 1/2 wide by 1 tall, which fits the cartoon hole that newspapers keep open for the cartoon. Sometimes an odd sized cartoon will jar an editor into running something different.
I did today’s cartoon extra wide, but [...]

Here’s another installment from my daughter, Susie, from her cartoon journal of our trip last month to Israel. See more of Susie’s cartoons here on her blog.  I was disappointed to miss the Dome of the Rock - it was closed the whole time we were there because of unrest; Palestinian demonstrators threw rocks injuring [...]

Congratulations to my buddy, Peter Broelman, the brilliant Australian cartoonist who just swept both the best editorial cartoonist and cartoonist of the year prizes at the Stanley Awards!  See more of Peter’s cartoons here.
Before I left on my trip last month I did an interview for BBC World, which they posted as a talking cartoon [...]

This just in:
Daryl,
I just thought I’d write to let you know I heard from Bobble Rep creator Ray Griggs just now that Apple reconsidered their rejection of our app and “Bobble Rep” is now approved and available in the App Store.
I’m glad Apple came to their senses and realized that this app is not only [...]

My daughter, Susie, joined me in Israel for the last week of my trip last month. She has been posting her daily cartoon account of the trip on her blog at http://thisiswhatconcernsme.com and she’s posting a new day of the trip every day now as she paints them in.

Have you received an chain letter from a friend or political adversary that showcases political cartoons from a conservative perspective and claims they are Australian? Yeah, about that…

A lawsuit by former San Diego Union-Tribune cartoonist Steve Kelley alleging the paper intimidated his successor, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Steve Breen, to not collaborate on a joint comic strip.

I’m holding my breath. I’m now into my third month of waiting for Apple to approve my iPhone app. Yesterday I heard from Apple that they need more time to think about it.

Twenty years ago, on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was toppled, signaling the end of four decades of Cold War between the United States and The Soviet Union.

Bruce Plante, the staff cartoonist at the Tulsa World, speaks to a group about some of his political cartoons at The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
