We have a Cagle Cartoons convention of sorts, every year in France, and I’m leaving for our get-together Tuesday, just as the impeachment news is coming hot and heavy every day.
This happened during the 2016 election when the Access Hollywood tape of Donald Trump came out when I was stuck, with a bunch of Cagle Cartoonists, away from our drawing boards as big news came calling. ARRGH!
So, before I leave, here are two impeachment ruckus cartoons. The first is about the Republicans who seem to have little to say about Trump’s Ukraine phone call and the Whistleblower report.
… and when the Republicans are talking, it doesn’t seem that they have been paying much attention.
I thought it would be fun to draw a couple of “reaction” cartoons. They don’t really make an argument, but they point out an interesting reaction.
I imagine that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is having a wonderful time watching the news these days. Here he is …
I regret that I had to put a label on his pants. Labels are for sissy editorial cartoonists who don’t trust their own caricatures to be recognizable — and today I’m a sissy.
But I had a hard time drawing Putin with a big, happy mouth; that just isn’t something that he does. He’s a dour character, and a big happy mouth makes Putin not look like Putin.
I actually struggled with this. The solution? I did my best, and put a label on his pants. Sorry. Still, I think putting the label on his butt is a little funny.
Sorry, but the blog won’t be updating much the next couple of weeks while I’m away. Hold your breath and I’ll be back soon!

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.
Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.
We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.
The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.
Thanks for asking!
