About Me

I draw the comic strip Minimum Security , about resistance to ecocide and imperialism. The Earth belongs to us, animals and plants and rivers -- not giant corporations! Minimum Security is syndicated by United Features. See five new cartoons every week, Monday through Friday at comics.com .

The award-winning comic Minimum Security appears in dozens of periodicals in print and online, and has been included in comics exhibitions worldwide.
"This is social satire at its wittiest and most engaging."
-- Howard Zinn

"Minimum Security is like oxygen in our suffocating times."
-- Dr. Vandana Shiva

"The cartoon generated a huge amount of filth, intolerable filth."
-- Senator Bill Napoli (R), misogynist creepy sponsor of abortion ban (except in the case of religious virgins), South Dakota

Making a scene

Yesterday I colored 8 pages of "As the World Burns," got my cellphone thing, and wrote more on the screenplay. The attempted rape scene is scary and terrible, as it should be. The scene after, when Ma...

Coloring like the wind

When I'm home I work a lot, getting up and starting immediately at 7 or 8, and then stopping at midnight or 1 a.m. During the day I have to force myself to get up and get some exercise (if I don't, I'...
