“Pen Avenue” for Jan. 2025

Here’s this month’s “Pen Avenue,” my cartoon for Print, Pittsburgh’s East End newspaper:

Cartoon depicts four people holding string instruments and representing prominent Pennsylvania Democrats. To the right is a figure representing U.S. Sen. John Fetterman holding a bass drum with his initials on it. Fetterman is asking the other people, 'What?' Caption reads, Introducing the Pennsylvania Democratic String Ensemble

Print is not available online; you can only read it in (what else?) print. It’s available at Giant Eagle and other stores in Pittsburgh’s East End, or subscribe on the website.

Interestingly (or maybe not), I only started working in color recently. Most of my cartoons have been in black-and-white. This cartoon, I think, may work better in black-and-white (and that’s how I’m considering posting it at Tube City Almanac):
