Come Heller high water … Ten inches of snow? A polar vortex bringing single digit temps? People driving into ditches all over the place? Hey, Mother Nature, way to ease us into this whole winter thing. Much obliged. You have 100-degree days planned for the first day of … [Read more...]
This week’s Auchtoon: Survey says … stop telling people to stop whining
Text & Toon by John Auchter In writing these little "support" articles for my cartoons over the years, more than a few readers have made a point of telling me how much they hate having the cartoon "explained" to them. They feel the cartoon should stand on its own, and it … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the December 7th edition
Come Heller high water … Republicans are fighting so ferociously against the Michigan presidential recount it’s making me think there might be something there. Otherwise, why get so upset? Wasn’t Trump saying BEFORE the election there was going to be fraud and he was going … [Read more...]
Hail to the nation’s first Tweeter-in-Chief
Donald Trump – our president-elect, our president-elect, our president elect (I have to keep repeating it to myself until it becomes less terrifying) – tweeted out a midnight critique of this week’s “Saturday Night Live” while it was still airing. “Just tried watching Saturday … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: Friendship is a wonderfully dumb thing
I have always been fortunate to have good friends, but since I moved back to my home area I see even more why it is great to have them. Maybe because this area is a little more remote and things are a little harder to come by that you see more and more of folks pulling together … [Read more...]

Come Heller high water … the November 30th edition
Come Heller high water … Apropos of nothing, President-elect Trump said this week that flag-burners should be jailed or kicked out of the country. Well, of course they should. So should singers who mangle the Star Spangled Banner at baseball games. And Olympic athletes who … [Read more...]
And now for a few long overdue words about leaf blowers …
Before we leave fall too far behind, allow me to pen a quick note to the owners of leaf blowers – the single worst invention of mankind, with the possible exception of hip-hop. Or shrink wrap. Or possibly Wolf Blitzer. It’s a toss-up. Dear Leaf Blower Owners: You’re killing … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: A heartfelt salute to veterans
I know we are beyond the date for this year’s Veterans Day, but a bunch of us recently had a conversation about it and it really made me think. I was proud of the towns in this area on November 11. Each of them had a Veterans Day celebration and what was really cool is the towns … [Read more...]
This week’s Auchtoon: Stay in your prescribed lanes, people
Okay, all right. Just one more cartoon on national political affairs, and I'll try to turn my attention back to more Michigan-based shenanigans. But I couldn't let this one go — it's been festering for some time. There is not a whole lot to add because we've all just … [Read more...]
