Get Your Hands Off My Soda!
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks in the city’s restaurants, delis and movie theaters in the hopes of combatting obesity. Aside from coffee, soda is the life blood of many cartoonists, so when politicians threaten to limit their intake, naturally they become leery.
Here are some recent cartoons about this latest onslaught against our favorite sugary drinks. What do you think? Comment below or drop us a note on our Facebook page.

Cam On The End Of The Sunday Ottawa Citizen
In an effort to cut costs, some newspapers in the U.S. and Canada have announced they are shedding print editions and moving to digital delivery of news. The Ottawa Citizen, owned by Postmedia Network Inc., will print its last Sunday paper on July 15, and plans on eliminating 20 newsroom jobs.
I asked Cam Cardow, the brilliant Canadian cartoonist and longtime Citizen contributor (who I syndicate thru CagleCartoons.com), what he thought of the grim announcement:
I’m a little shell-shocked byt this. I’m looking at the huge losses Postmedia is reporting and understand that those losses will lead to even more cuts, meaning jobs. Apparently the Citizen is expecting more announcements this summer and I think everyone has to be realistic about where the industry is ended and what this means for their employment status. It is a truly sad outcome for those of us of grew up with newspapers, who love the feel of the paper and the smell of the ink. You always hope for the best, but at some point you have to accept that just because the band is playing on doesn’t mean the plunge into the cold, black icy abyss will be put off any longer.

Mr. Fish's Offensive Memorial Day Cartoons
One of my favorite cartoonists is Mr. Fish (Dwayne Booth). He doesn’t censor himself for taste at all. I appreciate Fish’s unwillingness to compromise, so I thought I would post a handful of his controversial Memorial Day cartoons that I would never have drawn myself.

Does America Need More Gun Control?
Yesterday, columnist Tina Dupuy (who I syndicate to newspapers and Web sites nationwide) wrote about the need for gun control in America, noting that the NRA was for gun control over its first hundred years and only recently started to mention the Second Amendment as their cause.
There’s no cartoonist who cares about the issue of gun control more than Bill Day. Here are some of Day’s best cartoons about guns in America.
What do you think – do we need more gun control laws, or less? Comment below or weigh in on our Facebook page!

My Recent Mitt Romney Cartoons
I’m having more and more fun drawing Mitt Romney. The grey temples, the perfect hair. Normally, good looking politicians are the worst to draw, and Romney looks like he belongs on “Mad Men”, but I have to admit he’s growing on me.
Here’s Romney at the tattoo parlour…
Obama makes sure that Romney gives us nightmares…
Romney and Obama have much the same style…

'Owed' on a Grecian Urn
Political cartoonists often use established visual metaphors in order to help get their opinion across in their work. Greek urns have managed to survive thousands of years, so what better metaphor to use in order to describe the fiscal calamity Greece currently faces?

White Minority Cartoons
For the first time in U.S. history, more than half of the babies born in the country are nonwhite. The data also shows that almost half of all young children are from minority groups, which means the next generation of Americans will be far more diverse than today.
