Barry Bonds Cartoon Collection
Talk about being juiced! For years, cartoonists have been drawing cartoons about that cheating, steroid-injecting egomaniac Barry Bonds. Now, the lawyers have caught up with everyone else, convicting the former Giants slugger of obstruction of justice.
To check out how cartoonists have depicted Bonds sincd breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record*, check out our new Bonds is Guilty cartoon collection.
* – Hank Aaron never cheated, and Barry Bonds will never be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Guilty Bonds
Barry Bonds, the former San Francisco Giants slugger that defined the steroid era of baseball, has been found guilty of obstructing justice for lying about taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Is this really a surprise? Looking back at our cartoon archives, it seems that everyone came to the conclusion that Bonds was guilty of steroid use years ago. Not to mention that it’s Bonds own arrogance that ended up convicting him. Don’t forget that it was Bonds, under oath before a grand jury nearly eight years ago, who twisted his way around straight-forward questions about steroid use.
I’ve done a good number of Barry Bonds cartoons over the years. Here are some of my favorites:

Obama, Republicans and the Budget
Today, Barack Obama gave a speech detailing his approach to deficit reduction, offering a contrast to the “Path of Prosperty” that Congressman Paul Ryan proposed last month. Obama’s plan includes both cuts in military spending and tax increases for the wealthiest Americans (something the Republicans don’t seem to be able to stomach).
Republicans seem more hell-bent on pushing their social agenda than honestly reducing the deficit, and if Obama’s proven anything since taking office, it’s what a lousy negotiator he is …
It’s tough to hear Obama talk seriously about cutting the budget. Since coming into office, Obama has been forced to deal with a massive recession and job loss, as well as a massive deficit he inherited from his predecessors. As a result, he’s been up to his big ears in red ink…
Meanwhile, Republicans have no problems cutting money from the budget, as long as it has nothing to do with the military or rich folks…
Republicans’ favorite target recently has been civil servants with their outrageous $50,000 salaries. The billions Wall Street has fleeced out of the economy and the middle class over the last decade doesn’t seem to bother them much…
At least that’s something they share with Obama…
… despite their claims …

Student Loan Cartoons
As the recession drags on, more and more students are finding themselves in the middle of a rock and a hard place, leaving college with large amounts of student loan debt and entering into an economy that’s having a hard time creating jobs.

Government Shutdown Cartoons
The federal government has ramped up planning for a possible shutdown as Republicans and Democrats can’t come to an agreement on the remainder of this year’s budget.
Fortunately, few cartoonists work for the federal government, so they’ll still get to opine about our disfunctional politicians even if all of Washington shuts down. To see what they think, check out our new Government Shutdown cartoon slideshow

Bye, Bye Beck
Cartoonists across the nation who have become accustomed to Glenn Beck’s one-sided attacks on “progressives” and paranoid conspiracy theories must have shed their own Beck tears when Fox News announced that his show would be ending in the next few months.
As a national pundit, Beck left a lot to be desired. But as a convenient punching bag for the nation’s cartoonists, he was perfect, as our new Bye, Bye Beck cartoon slideshow illustrates.
