What's New From 2005

First off, an apology for not delivering an e-mail last week. The week started off with my editor at The Wenatchee World shelving one of my cartoons for the first time. While I didn’t necessarily agree with his interpretation of the piece, his concerns did make clear the weakness of the toon’s logic flow. After further consideration, I decided it best not to release it via my weekly e-mail or any of my national outlets, either.

While I scraped that toon, I had every intent of completing a new one by the end of the week. I even took Thursday and Friday off so I’d have some extra time to spend in front of the art board. Unfortunately, the first snow of the season hit Waterville Thursday — which wasn’t a good thing for the big ol’ tree next to my house. My day off was disrupted early by a gigantic “ker-snap-BOOM!” as a very large branch came crashing down on — and into — my roof. The resulting hole wasn’t large, but the continuing snowfall made it necessary to drop everything and address the problem ASAP. (Special thanks to my father-in-law, Skip, for braving the icy roof on tarp detail.)

Everything’s all better now, at least here at home. There are still plenty of messed-up things to cartoon about: Check out my latest offering, “Hooky!” [Archive No. 0542], and let me know what you think.

A pair of toons this week
[Posted 10.10.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

Two new cartoons this week:

• “No on I-912 II” [Archive No. 0538]: This is my second cartoon about the gas-tax repeal that’s on the November ballot here in Washington state. (The first was “No on I-912” [Archive No. 0526].) I still think I-912 is a shortsighted, dangerous initiative, and, bigger picture, that Washington’s initiative process is being used to undermine the concept of representative government here in the state. It’s “Vote ‘yes’ for short-term gain … and to hell with the long-term stability of the state. And, while we’re at it, to hell with the leaders we elected to worry about the long-term stability of the state.” It’s a “factious spirit” James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution,” warned about in The Federalist No. 10 in 1787:

“… a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”

As a state we continue to seize the purse strings while demanding “accountability” from the representative government we’ve left hamstrung. It’s evolving into an untenable system that we’re going to have to address.

• “It Always Comes Back to Fear” [Archive No. 0539]: Not much to say about this one other than after five years I’m numb to the fear tactics of the Bush White House. Of course, I’d had enough in 2004, but the nation inexplicably reupped for another four-year stint. Majority rules and all that, but thank god for term limits.

With my new cartoon this week, “An Answer for Katrina” [Archive No. 0535], I take one more shot at the Gulf region debacle. While my anger hasn’t subsided, I’m guessing it’ll be time to move on next week — at least for now. There are too many other targets that have been getting a pass these past two weeks.

It’s been several months but I finally processed another batch of older cartoons for the archive. Check out the eleven “new” offerings on the just-added Cartoons From 1992 page.

A small note of pride: In my haste to get last week’s second cartoon out (“The Next Storm, Brewing” [Archive No. 0534]), I failed to notice that it was my 34th new toon of the year. That’s one more than I did in 1990, which was previously my most productive year. While a total of 34 cartoons isn’t many for those daily inkslingers out there, it’s a big deal for me. And I’m on pace for 50 this year, so stay tuned …

It was an awe-inspiring week — and not in a good way. (But then when was the last time there was an awe-inspiring good week?) First Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell on earth in New Orleans and other areas along the Gulf Coast. Then America watched helplessly as its leaders did nothing.

That’s right, nothing. For days.

I don’t even know what to say. It was that bad. The federal government just stood around, holding press conferences instead of rescuing people. Leadership from Bush? Nonexistent. For the first few days he couldn’t be bothered. And it didn’t get much better once he did get involved.

Making matters worse: A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted Friday night found Americans to be divided over the government’s performance. That’s right: A whopping 46 percent approve of the way Bush has handled relief efforts. Stay on vacation and do nothing while perhaps thousands of people die? No problem! Red America is willing to stand by their guy.

I want to cry. This week’s toon, “A Picture of Leadership” [Archive No. 0533], just scratches the surface of what I see as a colossal failure of leadership. More in the weeks ahead, I’m sure.

Please let me know what you think.

A cartoon without the cartoon
[Posted 08.29.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

I must confess that I feel like a bit of a cheat this week, offering up a toon without any actual cartooning. But “Iraq’s Future …” [Archive No. 0532] is plenty visual and I like the simple concept behind it. The answer to the toon’s test question, of course, is all of the above, though I think a compelling argument can be made that it was “C” that led to “A” and “B.”

What do you think?

Something new, something old
[Posted 08.22.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

This week’s new toon, “Yes on I-901” [Archive No. 0531], offers my take on one of Washington state’s upcoming ballot initiatives. This one doesn’t really need much in the way of context, I hope.

For my national audience, I offer up a toon from my archive: 1993’s “What’s in the Box?” [Archive No. 9314]. It features the first appearance of my Big Brother Sam character, who sadly has become a regular in my Patriot-Act-era cartoons.

I never thought we'd be here …
[Posted 08.15.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

This week’s cartoon, “I Woke Up in a Crusade …” [Archive No. 0530], is more of a thinker than a scathing blame-placer. The notion that we left behind the Cold War and replaced it with a new Crusade had been kicking around in the sketchbook for a while. With the ongoing war on terror, and the escalation of violence in Iraq, and the mounting tensions in Iran, it seemed like a good time to offer it up.

A few thoughts:

• As a young child, I was terrified by the Cold War. Reagan’s “Evil Empire” rhetoric kept the conflict in the spotlight, and my generation grew up as scared of death raining down from the sky as our parents’ generation had been before us. I was relieved my girls wouldn’t have to grow up against that psychological backdrop; now I can only imagine how their developing minds are dealing with life in a post-9/11 world.

• I originally planned to include only the Soviet and Islamic symbols on the nightmares in the background, but decided to include the U.S. flag and the Christian cross in the mix, too. After all, it takes two to tango, and both blind patriotism and the Christian right are major players in these conflicts.

• While I never expected to see my nation involved in a resumption of the Crusades, I have a pretty good idea where we might end up when this conflict is over: Right back in the middle of the Cold War. While our attention is busy elsewhere, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is busy overturning every reform of the 1990s in an effort to consolidate his power. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out …

I think that’s about it for this week. Sorry to be a so glum.

Let me know what you think.

Past toon still rings true
[Posted 08.01.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

Busy with other projects this weekend (OK, truth be told, I was reading comic books), I decided to dip into the archive and pull out an old favorite, “Might” [Archive No. 9814]. Originally drawn in 1998 when I was with The (Longview, Wash.) Daily News, “Might” seems even more relevant given today’s headlines: unilateral U.S. military action, multiple corporate scandals, the rise to power of the Christian right, famine in Niger and other parts of Africa, etc. As they say, the more things change …

Back next week with a new toon.

New toon, new outlets
[Posted 07.25.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

The American left has to be feeling a bit like our nation’s military: too many battles, too few soldiers and leaders with too short of attention spans. Bedazzled by a busy news week — the developing Rove scandal, the Roberts Supreme Court nomination, and the Congressional thumbs up to renewing the Patriot Act — the Left faces the serious possibility of going zero for three on these fronts. This week’s toon, “More With Big Brother Sam” [Archive No. 0528] is concerned with that outcome.

In OtWP news:

Several Washington-state political blogs will be featuring Andrew’s cartoons from time to time. Be sure to check out:

• Evergreen Politics
• HorsesAss.org
• Northwest Progressive Institute

A busy week
[Posted 07.19.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

Several items of interest this week:

• My national cartoon, “The Lobotomy” [Archive No. 0527], pokes at the emerging scandal surrounding Bush’s chief schemster, Karl Rove. With every new detail we learn about this case of media leaks and White House dirty tricks, the nastier it gets. For the record: It’s already waaay nastier than anything chief-Republican-foil Bill Clinton ever did. Of course, the media is unlikely to notice now: They’ll be busy with Bush’s Supreme Court nomination, which was made at a very opportune time. Classic Rove, no?

• A bonus cartoon: “No on I-912” [Archive No. 0526] takes a swing at a popular Washington-state initiative that’s all but assured to roll back the new gas tax in November. Just the latest example of Washington’s severely flawed carrot-and-stick initiative system: Voters eat the carrot by lowering taxes, then beat the legislature with a stick for not providing needed services. Needless to say, a pro-tax cartoon was very popular over here on the Red side of the state. (It might play better over on the Wetside, where at least three dailies have said they plan to run it later this week.)

• These two new cartoons bring the total number of cartoons on offthewahl.com to an even 100. Very cool. (Lots more to come, of course.)

• Added one more Web site to the list of clients using my toons on a regular basis. Check out In These Times.

That’s about it for this week. If you get a chance, drop me a line and let me know what you think about my latest offerings.

A new toon, and a bigger online audience
[Posted 07.13.05]
Andrew’s latest cartoon, “National Attention Deficit Disorder” [Archive No. 0525] was posted Monday.

In other OtWP news, Andrew’s editorial cartoons have recently been added to the following Web sites:

• All Hat No Cattle
• American Samizdat
• The Blue State
• Project for the Old American Century

And, of course, his toons are still being featured regularly on:

• BuzzFlash.com
• DemocracyMeansYou
• Flak Magazine

With any luck, we’ll be announcing the addition of at least a couple more Web sites over the next few weeks.

Happy Fourth of July
[Posted 07.04.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

My latest toon, “Happy Birthday, USA II” [Archive No. 0524], celebrates our nation’s Independence Day with NO SNARKINESS! OK, maybe a little. But for the most part it’s just red, white and blue goodness.

Happy Fourth!

Saying 'no' to beef
[Posted 06.30.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

A confession: I stopped eating beef during the first mad cow scare in December 2003.

Am I really that scared of the U.S. beef supply? No, the numbers just don’t support that kind of fear. According to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, there are about 96 million head of cattle in the United States. Two in 96 million is pretty good odds by any account. (The real number of infected cows could be much higher, of course, as our livestock testing and tracking systems still leave much to be desired.)

The numbers that did spook me were on the lab results of my cholesterol test (they’re lower now, thank you). There’s also concern about the heart disease that runs in the family (hi, Dad). So I found mad cow to be a convenient excuse to just say “no” to beef. (Though I must admit that the thought of a brain-wasting disease does scare the tar out of me; I’m awfully fond of my brain.)

It’s been soy crumbles and Boca Burgers in lieu of beef since then.

One last confession before getting to this week’s toon, “Something Wrong With the Brain” [Archive No. 0523]: I make an exception to my “no beef” rule for the meat balls at my favorite Italian restaurant, Giorgios Pizza & Spaghetti House in Everett, Wash. What can I say, I’m weak.

The bite of a toothless hound
[Posted 06.21.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

I was already working on this week’s toon when I flipped over to ABC News, which was featuring an interview with soldiers who had been guarding Saddam Hussein. “This should be good,” I figured. The reporter would ask tough questions, I assumed, trying to get a second-hand glimpse inside the mind of a tyrant. “Why the mass graves?” “Why the reign of terror?” Or, at least, “Where are the weapons of mass destructions?”

Instead, I now know that Saddam Hussein likes Doritos better than Cheetos. And he doesn’t like Fruit Loops at all. I was stunned. This wasn’t really a hard-news reporter, was it? Mind you, there were some relevant nuggets buried toward the end, such as Hussein telling the guards he had no relationship with Osama Bin Laden and that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Mind you, the information was second hand, and Hussein has a worse track record for telling the truth than our own president, but those comments mean far more to the big picture than the fact that the deposed dictator likes Raisin Bran Crunch.

These are precarious times for our republic. The Hussein interview is the norm, not the exception. The media has all but abdicated its watchdog role: Traditional outlets have become toothless old hounds while much of the new media are too young to have real teeth. This week’s toon, “Change the Channel” [Archive No. 0522], pokes at the Fourth-Estate problem while reprising a cartoon from earlier this year.

Let me know what you think.

This week's toon and other news
[Posted 06.13.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

I’m rather tickled with this week’s toon, “Great Seal of the United States (The Bush Revisions)” [Archive No. 0521]. For those who don’t know a lot about our nation’s official seal, check out GreatSeal.com for some background. Each element of the seal, which was a collaborative effort of the founding fathers, is heavy with meaning. To which I’ve offered a few changes:

• The addition of a prison ball representing the Patriot Act, restraining the eagle of freedom.

• The slogan E Pluribus Unum — “Out of many, one” — has been replaced with Bush’s “Either With Us, or Against Us.” (None of that intellectual, foreign-language stuff for W.)

• The olive branch of peace has been replaced with a second batch of arrows. How better to represent the Bush Doctrine?

Best of all, this cartoon was done by editing a piece of handout art from the government; nothing like turning a piece of propaganda into a critical statement.

As I said, I like this one a lot. Let me know how it works for you.

In OtWP news:

Andrew’s weekly cartoons were recently added to BuzzFlash.com, a liberal news site that claims up to five million visitors per month. Thanks to the added exposure, we’ve started receiving feedback from around the country and have seen Andrew’s toons linked to by Web sites around the globe. Along with his slots in the opinion section of Flak Magazine and on DemocracyMeansYou, we’re developing a very nice footprint on the Web.

In the print world, the Yakima Herald-Republic recently picked up one of Andrew’s toons. The cartoon, “Passing the Test” [Archive No. 0520], is an extra one he did last week about Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges’ decision in the Washington-state election challenge. It never went out as a weekly e-mail, but can be viewed here.

Guantanamo Bay not acceptable
[Posted 06.06.05]
From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

What an ugly chapter in U.S. history: secret prisons, people detained without access to legal representation, allegations of torture, a general disregard for the Geneva Convention.

This isn’t what our nation is supposed to stand for. These aren’t the ideals that citizen-soldiers have given their lives for over the course of our history. And if Guantanamo Bay (and the like) is the new normal, if such abuses are acceptable in the post-9/11 world, do we really have to ask why so many people around the world hate us? Hell, how can we even look in the mirror?

My latest toon, “The Final Word” [Archive No. 0519], tries to point out the hypocrisy of the current administration’s position. More words to come, I’m sure. Hopefully from all of you: let me know what you think.

Memorial Day during a time of war
[Posted 05.30.05]

From Andrew’s weekly e-mail:

For some reason, barbequing and picnicking just didn’t seem appropriate to me this year. With casualties still mounting in Iraq and Afghanistan, I found something appalling about all the people flocking to North Central Washington for a long weekend of fun in the sun; something insincere about all those faded yellow ribbons on the gas-guzzling trucks that pulled monstrous boats.

I hope their beer was bitter.

These were the thoughts behind my latest cartoon, “Memorial Day 2005: Is That the Best We Can Do?” [Archive No. 0518]. (Note that I didn’t include Confederate casualties — estimated at 133,821 — in the historic total as those soldiers didn’t die fighting for this nation.)

A parting shot: According to icasualties.org, we lost another 901 in Iraq and Afghanistan since last Memorial Day. Before next year, maybe W. will get the message and start laying the groundwork to bring our troops home — alive.

Not an option
[Posted 05.16.05]
Check out Andrew’s latest toon, “Kim’s New Do” [Archive No. 0517].

Back to Iraq
[Posted 05.09.05]
From Andrew’s latest weekly e-mail:

The U.S. death toll in Iraq topped 1,600 this past weekend, even before a coalition offensive near the Syrian border started Saturday. And Iraq is just part of the problem for a U.S. military stretched precariously thin: increased insurgent activity continues to claim lives in Afghanistan, while the nuclear threat grows in North Korea and Iran.

The world is a very scary place right now — and grows scarier each day. Yet Americans seem to have grown numb to it, especially since the last election and Bush’s so-called “accountability moment.”

This week’s cartoon, ‘Déjà Vu’ [Archive No. 0516], pokes at that numbness.

Last week, a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll found that 57 percent of Americans do not believe it was worth going to war in Iraq. Forty-nine percent say sending our troops in was a mistake.

If that’s the case, I have just one question: Where’s the outrage?

Ahh, it's Apple Blossom
[Posted 05.02.05]
Andrew’s latest, “Resistance Is Futile” [Archive No. 0515], is an ode to the cult-like fervor surrounding Wenatchee’s royalty-worshipping, boob-flashing, endorsement-laden, two-week-long celebration of spring known statewide as Apple Blossom. (Note: Due to an Internet outage, the 05.02.05 update was not posted until the evening of 05.03.05.)

Another new cartoon
[Posted 04.25.05]
Check out Andrew’s latest, “Weapon of Mass Destruction” [Archive No. 0514].

2005 GNSJA winners announced

Andrew stars in his latest toon, the autobiographical “Confessions of a Former 206er” [Archive No. 0513].

Back to the board
[Posted 04.11.05]
After a tough week or so, Andrew finally returned to his art board Sunday night. Check out “Pope Righteous I” [Archive No. 0512] and let us know what you think.

No new toon; 'Ohio' in Z Magazine
[Posted 04.04.05]
A rough patch this past week: Andrew’s grandmother died and his father was rushed to the hospital with heart trouble. He decided it best to take the week off from cartooning. New cartoon goodness next week. Promise.

In one bit of good news: “Ohio” [Archive No. 0404] was published in the March issue of Z Magazine.

New toon; toon news
[Posted 03.28.05]
Andrew’s latest cartoon, “Vultures” [Archive No. 0511], was posted this evening.

Good news this week: Two of Andrew’s 2004 cartoons — “Ohio” [Archive No. 0404] and “Fear More Years” [Archive No. 0403] — were selected for the 2005 edition of Pelican Publishing’s “Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year.” Available now at a bookstore near you. (Andrew’s toons are on pages 28 and 30.)

A new cartoon; more old cartoons;
a couple of announcements
[Posted 03.10.05]
A second site update this week for four reasons:

1) Andrew finally managed to return to his art board. The result is his first Washington-state-themed toon in quite a while, “The Kid” [Archive No. 0508].

2) We’ve added a Cartoons From 1994 page.

3) A portfolio of Andrew’s work has been added to the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) Web site.

4) A big announcement: Starting this week, Andrew’s weekly editorial cartoon is going to be featured in the opinion section of Flak Magazine, a very cool online publication that averages about 100,000 visitors each month. Needless to say, Andrew is excited about joining the Flak team.

Added to Cartoons From 1998:

“Shattered” [Archive No. 9822]
“Would Human Cloning Make a Difference” [Archive No. 9818]
“The Rapist” [Archive No. 9811]
“Bill Gates of Borg” [Archive No. 9809]

“Role Models” [Archive No. 9805]

Added to Cartoons From 1993:

“Help Me, I’m Dying” [Archive No. 9302]

Speaking up for the First Amendment
[Posted 02.21.05]
This week’s cartoon, “State of the First Amendment” [Archive No. 0507], was inspired by the recent “Future of the First Amendment” study conducted by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The study quizzed today’s high-school students to learn their opinions about the First Amendment. Among their “key findings”:

“After the text of the First Amendment was read to students, more than a third of them (35 percent) thought that the First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.

“Nearly three-fourths (73 percent) either say they don't know how they feel about the First Amendment, or they take it for granted.”

Andrew laid out his views on the First Amendment in his weekly editorial cartoon e-mail. An excerpt:

“Free speech is the lifeblood of a free society; limit it and all freedoms are in peril. It’s no small irony that while our nation wages war around the globe in the name of freedom, the future of liberty here at home looks increasingly bleak. My generation’s lack of passion in regards to civic affairs has been often noted. Couple that with the seemingly aggressive apathy of Generation Y, and the foundations of the republic appear to be at risk.

“Gloomy? Guilty as charged. Alarmist? I fear not.”

Returning with one new cartoon
[Posted 02.14.05]
Following a week spent recovering from the big Seattle comic-book convention, Andrew returned to the art board to create “The Week That Was” [Archive No. 0506].

Bonus toon!
[Posted 02.03.05]
Bush’s State of the Union address earned itself a bonus cartoon, “The State of Unions” [Archive No. 0505]. Enjoy.

Waiting for clear skies in Washington
[Posted 01.31.05]
The Palestinians held a solid election. It took two tries, but the Ukrainians did, too. And now the Iraqis make three. Meanwhile, here in Washington state, we’re still waiting for the dark cloud hanging over the governor’s mansion to disperse.

These events provided the inspiration for Andrew’s latest editorial cartoon, “Washington-State Style” [Archive No. 0504].

No new toon … but a bunch of old ones
[Posted 01.24.05]
Other duties at The Wenatchee World pulled Andrew away from the art board this week. While this means no new cartoon, he did manage to add some older work to the archive over the weekend. Check out Cartoons From 1993 for seven “classic” cartoons.

A new toon next week, we promise!

New toon, plus 2005 GNSJA entry information
