Thank you for supporting my editorial cartooning and writing at this great independent space. And thank you, most of all, for standing up for free speech and truth, both of which are under attack everywhere.
We’ll see you soon with more of my work, and as always, let me know what you think in the comments, or drop me a line at ramireztoons@gmail.com
As you can imagine, I receive many emails, many which dictate things that are physically impossible to do with and to human physiology. I will try to read everything you send with one exception: Please do not share your cartoon ideas. As an editorial cartoonist, every original cartoon I publish must spring from within my own little mind, though I appreciate your good wishes, complaints, concerns about issues, or opinions about politicians who seem to make a mess of everything. I try to keep my finger on the pulse of America, but they keep filing restraining orders against me but I would love to hear what’s on your mind? What can I do better, and no I’m not going to hire ANOTHER editorial cartoonist… Let us know in the comments or by emailing us at ramireztoons@gmail.com.
August 19, 2026 (dated for context and reference) I believe Michael is right on this issue. However, California has blown up dams, resisted creating the infrastructure to retain rain water runoff etc. One problem is that politicians aren't going to ask their voters to pay for expensive projects, and society is NOT good at planning for the future. Of course there are the billions spent on the none existent California High Speed Rail which will probably never be completed, and the California politicians and public seem to be fine with it.
