Toon & text by John Auchter Today is Labor Day, which of course begs the question: What side is it on? Is it exclusive to union workers or to entrepreneurs? Does it celebrate individual laborers in their quest to provide for their families or groups that grow prosperity by … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: I’m not an antique and neither is my Jeep, as far as I know
By John Matonich I don’t think anything brings people together more than a shared interest or a shared goal. You can see it all the time especially when it comes to things like sports. The day of a big game, the jerseys come out and are worn with pride. You can also see them … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the August 30th edition
Come Heller high water … Yeah, it was bad taste for Melania Trump to wear stiletto heels, a designer outfit and a FLOTUS cap to Houston, but as the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah pointed out at least she was there to help people, so give her a break. That said, would … [Read more...]
Auchtoon time: Times change, sometimes our ‘heritage’ should, too
I struggled with how exactly to draw a gerrymander statue. My initial instinct was to draw it as an abstract monster because that's where the term came from. In 1812 a Governor Gerry in Massachusetts signed a bill to redistrict his state to benefit his political party. One of the … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: There’s no black and white when it comes to gray
I have always seemed to look a little older than I am. Not sure why, but it didn’t hurt when I was a little below the legal age to get into an “R” rated movie or trying to get an adult beverage. Lately, though I have had a couple of instances that have me wondering if I should … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the August 23rd edition
Come Heller high water … So glad to hear that Lear is opening a car seat manufacturing site at the old Buick City site in Flint. That’s good news for the entire region. The only downside is Lear is related to the auto industry and its massive ups and downs. Maybe at this … [Read more...]
The tragedy of Early Onset Empty Nest Syndrome (EOENS)
If I were to write the headline for this column, it would be “That stupid, stupid school bus.” Eighteen years ago, Sam, our oldest, stepped onto one for the first time. I remember getting misty about it because I’m a great, big, giant sap about that sort of thing. I wrote a … [Read more...]
It’s Auchtoon time: The scariest thing of all for Michiganders
Toon & text by John Auchter I am on vacation this week. (I drew this cartoon last week, Friday.) I tried to anticipate how I would feel at this point. It was easy to predict (and poke fun at) my selfish self -- that despite whatever terrible events were going on around the … [Read more...]
Trump’s bizarre press conference will ultimately help America
Donald Trump’s mouth-foaming press conference is turning out to be a very good thing for this country. Say what? Yes, a good thing. For decades now, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Confederate wannabes have existed on the far flung fringes of society, occasionally popping … [Read more...]
It’s time to take Trump’s word for what he is
With his everybody-is-to-blame response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Trump officially became the leader of white nationalists, American Nazis, neo-Confederates, anti-semitics and alt-right haters across the nation. And it seemed almost … [Read more...]
