What we run

Quality first. Confident drawing, readable lettering, a real joke or a real insight. An empty spot on the page beats a weak strip.
Arguments over insults. Strips with a point of view go after decisions and people with power, never private neighbors.
A point of view is welcome. This publication leans conservative and life-affirming, and good insight is welcome from any side.
Every strip is licensed. Shown through the artist's own embed, a syndicate license, or written permission.

Embedded strips stay hosted by the artist; follow the link to read the full strip. Cartoonists: we commission and license work. Write in with a link to your portfolio.
