Schultz threatens to split the vote for a Democratic party candidate,possibly throwing the election to Donald Trump.HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033569The two legged Starbucks mermaid logo is so disturbing that I love todraw it whenever I can. Here's the original Starbucks logo, that customers didn't like.HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033570The logo was intended to depict the merger of two coffee companies, the original Starbucks and Howard Schultz'scompany, // Gomale that purchased Starbucks. Starbucks has a nautical theme to go with the character of Seattle."Starbuck" was the name of the first mate in the novel Moby Dick.This two legged, merger-mermaid is nasty, which makes it great fodder for cartoons. I drew the mermaid last year whenthere was a racism scandal at Starbucks, leading the company to shut down for a day to do racial sensitivity training. Thislogo-fish-girl would scare anybody!Read in browser »Jeff Bezos and David PeckerBy Daryl Cagle on Feb 08, 2019 06:04 pmHere's my new cartoon on the world's richest man, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and the National Enquirer's (AM I) CEO DavidPecker, who was blackmailing Bezos. Pecker's AMI was extorting Bezos, demanding that the Washington Post (whichHOUSE OVERSIGHT 033571Bezos owns) hold back publication on their investigation of AMI, and that Bezos stop a private investigator he hired to lookinto AMI — otherwise they would publish photos of Bezos' penis. Bezos was brave to expose Pecker's extortion.It is interesting that Pecker and AMI seems to have such success with blackmail that his attorneys didn't step back to thinkof what would happen if the person they were blackmailing simply made their emails public.AMI is looking pretty sleazy these days, with likely links to Saudi Arabia, and a reported safe full of Donald Trump secrets,among other tawdry stuff. So, I took advantage of Pecker's dickish name and pulled Pecker's pants down. Some cartoonsare fun to draw — even if editors won't publish them much.Read in browser »Recent Articles:Chinese Hackers!
