Exclusive Sketch:

We’ll return on Sunday with a new cartoon and essay from Michael. Thank you for your subscription - it supports Michael’s editorial cartooning, writing, and this great independent 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 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)
