From October 1998 to March 1999 I produced a weekly political cartoon on local issues for the City Weekly section of the Boston Sunday Globe. The City
Weekly section is a regional pullout in the Sunday Globe which goes exclusively to readers in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline, Massachusetts. From June 1999 to March 2001 I did a biweekly cartoon for the Saturday Globe's op ed page. You can look at any of these cartoons (along with some explanatory text for out-of-town readers unfamiliar with local issues) by clicking on its date below. Each cartoon also provides a link to the previous cartoon.
