We’ll be back with another cartoon tomorrow. As we navigate the future, we thank you for subscribing, which helps to support Michael’s editorial cartooning, his essays, and this great space at Substack.

As always, let us know what you think of Michael’s work in the comments, or drop us a line at ramireztoons@gmail.com

I’m working on recording regular paid subscriber only Zoom meetings which I will share here. We simply have to carve out some space in the schedule —-! Michael now edits subscriber-only Sunday posts and writes about the process of cartooning. As a paid subscriber, you receive the full text of Michael’s personal Sunday reflections first. We are so grateful you have chosen to take this journey with us as we continue to add elements to the newsletter.

As you can imagine, we receive many emails, and Michael reads everything you send with one exception; I regret that I cannot share your cartoon ideas. As an editorial artist, everything he publishes must spring from his own mind, though I will happily forward your good wishes, complaints, concerns about issues, or opinions about politicians who seem to make a mess of everything. Michael tries to keep his finger on the pulse of America, so what’s on your mind? What can we do better? Let us know in the comments or by email. We love hearing from you and will do our best to respond as soon as possible.

Best,

Melissa Praemonitus (editor and personal manager for Michael P. Ramirez)
