Vote By Maelstrom
The Pony Express was retired in 1861. We, uh, might need to bring it back. My new cartoon on Trump's assault on democracy and the complacency that's letting him get away with it.
A Definition of Insanity
Nematode futures are up, but voter turnout is down. My new cartoon on voter apathy, incumbent power, and the importance of the Democratic Primary to the future of Hawaiʻi.
Trustee Turbulence
A plane, four parachutists, and a whole lot of questions about who’s really trying to keep the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in the air.
Some Strings Attached
America’s most sensitive secrets, overseen by the puppet of a fringe cult leader. Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s strings lead straight to a guru who preaches bigotry from a Lanikai mansion.
The Fraud Prince
The fraud that is most dangerous is not the fraud of the poor, but the fraud of the powerful—the fraud that convinces the working man to vote against his own bread.
The Burro, The Boss, And The Bullwhip
The tale of a saddlebag without bottom, a donkey without dignity, and a governor who seems much too comfortable with both.
Della and Goliath
Lo, the giant came forth clad in $12 million of polished steel, a beast of artifice piloted by the Prince of PACs. But Della reached for her slingshot. Thus saith the cartoonist: Let the rock fly; let the giant fall.
ICE Breaker
They said “law and order.” They meant “hoods and handcuffs.” Hawaiʻi is fighting back. My new cartoon pulls back the mask on America’s secret police, and its white supremacist lineage.
Illiberation
When “liberating” Iran starts with bombing school girls, the rhetoric of freedom is exposed as a lie. Examine instead the West’s history of overthrowing democracy for oil, of enabling Israel’s rogue nukes, and of serving the Epstein Class’s drive to crush the last West Asian nation resisting its financial domination.
Poisoning The Well
The U.S. isn’t liberating Venezuela’s oil—it’s poisoning the nation’s future with debt to create a permanent financial slave.
The Matrix: Regulations
CONFIRMED: Big Tech’s AI is a brain-farming operation. My new cartoon exposes the mainframe to a horrified lawmaker. The blue pill is lobbyist lies. The red pill is the trampled regulation bill. The truth is on the screen.
How Do You Stop This Thing?
In a broken political wasteland, the War Rig of Manufactured Grievance crushes all in its path. Strapped to its back: a clown-car of feuding sycophants, fighting for a wheel that doesn't steer. Witness the fury on GOP Road.
Let Them Eat Cake
A tale as old as time: a tone-deaf leader, a pile of hoarded cash, and a starving child. Today's Marie Antoinette isn't in Versailles—he's in the White House.
Waters’ World
Honolulu City Council chair Tommy Waters is running for a third term thanks to a loophole in the county charter. But should we even have legislative term limits?
Ain’t No Sunshine
The 2025 Hawaiʻi legislative session ended with an ignominious whimper when it comes to good government reform, or “sunshine,” bills—the last of which died in conference committee the week before this cartoon ran.
Sold Out
Between President Trump’s tariff chaos, haphazard cuts to government functionality via Elon Musk’s rogue agency DOGE, and Congress advancing $5.1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the rest of us, it’s looking like the U.S. economy and the empire that supports it are headed for a painful, stupid end.
Wheel Of Extortion
Are you an unethical lawmaker willing to sacrifice the common good for your own personal enrichment and that of your friends and benefactors? Come on down and spin the wheel of extortion on “Quid Pro Go!”
Bonfire Of Our Sanity
A state commission policing what journalists write about the state? What could go wrong?
Demagoguecracy
A reaction to the inauguration of Donald Trump as 47th president of the United States, ushering in the official age of American Demagoguecracy, a government ruled through fear.
