The aftermath of the 2016 election

Humor keeps me sane as I look ahead to a Trump Presidency....

The 2016 Presidential election and other woes

This has been a difficult year really for everyone who cares about the political process and the outcome of the upcoming Presidential election. Here's a selection of cartoons on the matter of politics from the most recent to the first few during the primaries.

More recent murmurings...

I've experienced a recent upsurge of foot pain. It was really getting me down, so I decided to try to use some healing humor on myself. Although the pain might not actually be due to plantar fasciitis, it is such a terrific  name for a malady, I've decided to label it as such.
