Is he a good dancer?

tango cartoon

Ah, time for a new topic in Illustration Friday: Tango. I'm a fanatic watcher of Dancing with the Stars, but not a dancer myself (except for a little ballet in my own living room.) I still can't tell all the dances apart, but I do know that the Tango, and particularly the Argentine Tango is ...

Google is a harsh taskmaster.

Yes, that's right, I said Google is punishing me for my transgressions, not God. Although I feel a teeny bit like Job this week: problems installing WordPress 2.7, so that this blog was down for well over a day, and attending anxiety, the theme (Template) broke, so I had to pick another one, check I ...

It's true that WP has thousands of free themes. But this was MY theme. I do like part of this new theme - very modern structure ...

Sarah Palin cartoon as Venus, by Barstow.

Sarah Palin as Venus

My political cartoons for Slate have all been moved to The Opposite of Wrong, where I skewer all the cartoons! Sorry, sometimes you gotta be plain and simple in a blog. Sarah Palin has just resigned as Governor, so she won't be around to undress anymore. I drew this cartoon when she still had ...
