It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted my online reading to this category. Weird winter weather and freelance work got a bit distracting. I want to keep up on this as a kind of reading diary and to keep track of the more interesting things I come across. Rarely will I … Read More “Things I Read Today: Toxic Masculinity, HG Wells, Pseudoscience, and Gen Z” »
Senator Elizabeth Warren released her proposal for universal child care in the United States as part of her presidential campaign platform, so I thought I’d do a little reading on how the policy has played out elsewhere. There is a LOT of research, so don’t expect this post to be comprehensive. Not even close. Here … Read More “Things I Read Today: Universal Child Care” »
The Bitter Origins of the Fight Over Big Government, by Kim Phillips-Fein “Today, liberal nostalgia for Roosevelt comes easily. The country is mired in crises lacking obvious resolutions; the move toward greater equality that began to unfold during the 1930s has been largely undone.

I chose James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, because at the time I was reading Ulysses and had watched … Read More “Caricature: Joyce and Beckett” »
Right, so, I am sure you have just killing yourself with worry that the 9 or 10 political cartoons I drew in 2015 were just floating aimlessly in the void with nowhere to live. Well, now your personal (our national) nightmare is over. Today I created a page to host a gallery of the cartoons … Read More “2015 Political Cartoons Have a Home” »
As Fetch fans already know, I have been on a break from cartooning while I manage my mother’s estate. She passed away last Fall without leaving a will, so I am going through the probate process and slowly working out her affairs. Complicating matters is that I live 3,000 miles away from her house; I … Read More “Dude, Where You Been?” »
It is barely afternoon on the West Coast of North America, so I am still digesting the news as it is coming in. I sit at a reference desk in my library, helping students find books or cite sources or research topics, hoping this will help them succeed in their efforts to better their lives, … Read More “Fetch Fights Fascists” »
