Randomly Drawn (July 08, 2026)

July 8, 2026

I had such a fun day yesterday! I am super pleased with both of today’s cartoons for you! That’s right…you’re getting a Two-fer umm…Wednesday, I guess?

First up…I had my annual “4th of July Robby Viewing” of Jaws this past weekend. Robby was a great friend and a super important part of my confidence growth as an artist and now as a writer. He made me laugh like very few could. Robby was a teacher. One day on Facebook a group of us completely re-wrote Jaws so that the sharks were replaced by middle school children (yes, including the USS Indianapolis speech). Robby has been gone nearly six years but he still helps with ideas!

Black and white cartoon of Quint from Jaws saying he'll catch the president and convict him for ten thousand dollars. A simple chalk caricature of trump is on the chalkboard.
Robby was not a fan of the mango, either.

So we all agree Mitch McConnell is dead, yeah? Or at the VERY least…a carrot. He hasn’t made an appearance in well over a month after he was “found unresponsive and was given CPR”. According to a trusted source who absolutely does not sugarcoat medical truth says basically that CPR is a violent action and most of the people who survive it are the young and/or healthy. McConnell is neither of these. CPR shatters ribs on a regular basis. He was not strong enough to be in good shape after that.

The popular rumor is that he is brain dead and they are keeping him alive on machines to gain some sort of political advantage. This seems appropriate from someone who spent a lifetime hurting others for personal gain. No family cares. His wife was sent to China on a “diplomatic business mission”…THREE DAYS AFTER HE WAS HOSPITALIZED. My wife would pull a doctor’s spine out like the Predator if they got in her way to see me in the hospital. Mitch will leave this earth worse than he found it and no one will mourn him. A fitting tribute.

Black and white cartoon of the GOP elephant smashing Mitch McConnell with cpr-like hits to the chest to keep him alive.
I hope the Devil gives him back his polio.

And that’s all for my turbo-politcal Randomly Drawn this week! The ideas came fast and I was able to get them down! I’m pretty happy! I hope they help you over this middle of the week hill and get you to the weekend! Be safe and love each other!

  • Yes Mitch McConnell is dead and I think you’re pretty amazing!!!!!

  • Both of these turned out well! Good job and a good Quint likeness. We’re going to need the biggest boat (some would say huge) to take on that level of corruption.
