We are thrilled that Michael completed his second video essay, and he will make it a regular feature of this newsletter. If you missed the first one, see it here: Worshipping Idols and the second one: Blame Hamas. Michael really enjoys speaking directly to his friends and will still write occasionally, but for now, next to his cartoons, video essays are the best way for him to communicate within his outrageously busy schedule. Let us know what you think in the comments, and thank you so much for your support.

  Thank you for supporting Michael’s 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 tomorrow with another one of Michael’s cartoons.

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

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, every original cartoon he publishes must spring from within his 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 soon.

Best,

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