Yes, it has been more than a week since I have drawn a new cartoon. There’s too much on my plate, sorry; I’m trying to keep up. Here are some recent miscellaneous items.
My cartoonist-journalist daughter, Susie, posted this excellent column about Facebook and other tech companies and their hypocritical “support” for cartoonists and press freedom issues.
This is the current view of the front entry of the cartoon museum in St Just le Martel, France, where they are currently installing our Charlie Hebdo cartoons exhibit.
From left to right, Gerard Vandenbroucke, convention president, Georges Wolinski, who was murdered at the Charlie Hebdo offices, cartoonist “Aurel” who won the cow the year before me, and me. Happier times only last October

My business phone call voice mails go to a voice recognition line where I get an email of the phone message in text. I thought I would share this one that just came in, for a taste of what my typical phone calls are like …
“Hi my name is XXX XXXXX. I’m not sure how far you guys go your political cartoons but here’s a couple of ideas present Obama sitting on the toilet reading the Koran with the US Constitution roll of toilet paper. President Obama on the golf course with a bunch of crucified Chris’s son-of-fair-fairway(?) in the stadium quote the Bible says just play through the only Christians or grant(?) a baby close to the dj(?) and he walking out the door is away-but(?) I had a busy going you-recipe(?) and have a little Obama has-members-because(?) because he’s leaving. So just some food for thought food for thought. Thanks.”
My French cartoonist friend, Coco, posted this cartoon to social media. She was injured in the Charlie Hebdo attack.
An update on our hacker attacks, they are continuing, but we have Cagle.com up and relatively stable. Every so often we’re still going down, or we have some odd tech problem that crops up, we appreciate your patience.
Below is a cartoon I drew a while ago that has found new life in social media recently, with the incessant drum banging from Fox News over terrorism recently. With the economy in good shape I expect that fear mongering over terrorism and ISIS will dominate the upcoming Republican presidential primary fight.
With the news that Facebook is set to go public today, I thought it might be a good time to dig into our archives and pull out five funny Facebook cartoons.
It also seems appropriate to remind you to “like” our cartoon page on Facebook. After all, we want to do what we can to help Mark Zuckerberg make even more money…

As many of you have noticed by now, we’ve made a decision at Cagle.com to switch to Facebook’s commenting system.
Over the years, we’ve entertained a spirited and lively debate about our columns and political cartoons, but the discussions that ensue can get nasty, mean and obscene real quick. We thought that by removing the veil of anonymity, it would force people to engage in discussions about our content and the news of the day in a more civil manner, leading to increasing engagement and a better overall community.
And you don’t have to be a member of Facebook – you can also comment using your Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail accounts.
If you have any problems with the system, send us an email and let us know. We want to know what you think of this, and all the changes we’ve made to Cagle.com!
Class warfare was the name of the game this week. Critics used the phrase to criticize President Obama’s new jobs plan, due to its call to increase taxes on the wealthy. Maybe it’s the reason Mark Zuckerberg is punishing us with all these new Facebook changes.
Stupid Facebook! As most of us have just gotten use to all the previous changes, here they are again updating our “user experience” to entice us to put our entire life on their web servers!
(Did I mention we’re on Facebook, and how much we love it? Don’t forget to “Like” us.)

The World Health Organization research institute recently announced that using a cell phone over a prolonged period could lead to brain cancer. Too bad people were too busy texting their friends and playing Angry Birds on their smart-phones to see the report.
Are cartoonists the only ones that saw the news? Click here to view our Cell Phones Cause Cancer cartoon collection to see what they think, if you can pull yourself away from Facebook for that long.

Businessweek magazine is doing a story on the Facebook privacy policy next week and asked us for cartoons on the topic – we didn’t have any, so Brian Fairrington and I both drew them up very quickly Monday night. That’s my cartoon at the right, and here is Brian’s Facebook privacy cartoon. It is interesting that we both drew cartoons with two square arrow boxes; great minds think alike, I guess.
I have no idea if Businessweek will end up using either Facebook cartoon.
