Witchy Book Banners

The Spotsylvania Book Banners are Back!

I draw a local cartoon weekly (usually) for the Fredericksburg Advance. They’re here on Substack and I’ll recommend them as soon as I can figure that part out. I’m still new here. Be patient.

I drew this over a week ago and it was supposed to be published last Sunday, but my editor at the Advance thought it might be in poor taste to publish it the day after someone took a shot at Trump’s ear, which was being safe because at that moment, we didn’t know who the shooter was and it could have turned to be a trigger happy witch on a broom.

I was locked outside my apartment last Saturday night and into Sunday morning. I was doing laundry and oops, after going to the laundry room to put my clothes into the dryer, I realized I had locked myself out and there was no way back in because no matter how many times I bang on the super’s door and windows, he doesn’t wake up. I was locked outside for eight hours. And to make matters worse, I forgot to see dryer sheets which meant I had to spend five days in Milwaukee with MAGAts and static cling.

It was during the time I was locked out that I received a text from my editor saying he was holding off on publishing the cartoon. Yeah, I had my phone with me because I could apparently walk outside my apartment without my keys, but I can’t live without my phone. At the moment of the text, I didn’t care. I had to catch a train in the morning and I was locked out.

I did however get an idea for a cartoon on the Trump assassination attempt while I was locked out. I couldn’t wait to draw it which I did between getting back inside my apartment and catching a train. Life is hard.
