Exclusive Sketch:

Michael produces a full-sized version of his cartoon twice a week, which is later cropped to fit the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Washington Post print format. The original version is below and only available to paid subscribers:

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

I’m still working on recording regular Zoom meetings with Michael at his studio, which I will share here exclusively with you. We are so grateful for your support 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, 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)
