Here's another AI animation of one of my cartoons. The process is pretty random. Its like a slot machine - if it pays off once in a while I keep throwing money in, and I'm a loser in the long run. (It ignores my prompts - like "no music") Subscribe to our free email newletter at Cagle.com/subscribe

Here's another one of my cartoons, animated by AI, with an AI voice that I think is funny. AI came up with the voice, I didn't prompt it. Trump's hand is a bit funky, but the hand is funny too. Should we make more of these? (Remember to subscribe to our free newsletter cagle.com/subscribe)

Check out this NEW Caglecast about cartoonists on trial and in jail for their cartoons! Being a cartoonist around the world is a risky, scary prospect --can that happen here? (I fear that it can.) youtu.be/njD9RSTSQaU

My Slovakian/Austrian cartoonist buddy, Marian Kamensky draws crazy, hard hitting cartoons that US editors don't print much, but this impressive RFK Jr. cartoon masterpiece makes me laugh. Editors should print it!

Here's my cartoon on bad court rulings for Trump this week. This cartoon is an evergreen. I need another evergreen for court rulings that go in his favor. See my classic Justice Clarence Thomas podcast and cartoons at: youtu.be/v43tNt8-p1A

Here's today's new cartoon. Thanks to Joe Wos for this very nice gag. I considered putting Trump hair on the predator fish, but without the hair the cartoon is universal and evergreen.

Here one I found from 35+ years ago as I was rummaging around. This is packaging art for a window box for a Fraggle Rock vehicle (I think) so the perspective is different on different sides of the box, and there's a big hole for the window and space for type. Memories in the garage.

Trump quote about girls having only two dolls instead of 30, because of tariffs, made me laugh. My daughter had 30 Barbies, and I did a lot of work for Mattel --no Barbie, but I did Hot Wheels and preschool, See 'n Says and Muppet Babies and Baby Loonie Tunes. Good old days.

The Trump administration wants to kill Sesame Street, ridiculing versions of the show around the world, and by defunding PBS. I spent many years drawing Muppets. Sad to see.

Give me a nice gag that makes a good point, and I'll draw this and give you a thank you credit in the attribution in the cartoon. The speech balloon can be bigger, the fish can have labels, it can be about trade wars or China or whatever. If I use it, I'll give you a nice attribution in the cartoon.
