Apparently much of Kensington is a safe injection site as people of all races and ages shoot up unimpeded on sidewalks, vacant lots and the library lawn. Apologies to the neighbors who must raise their kids nearby. My cartoon in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer.

I’m thinking of all of the parents who won’t get to spend Thanksgiving with their kids because of our sickening gun violence. In Philadelphia, more than 400 people have died from guns this year alone.
Here are a few of my cartoons on guns from years past. We must find a better way forward.
What is the NRA - National Rifle Association of America giving thanks for today?
Unfailingly dignified to her guests, whether they were dignified or not. Good bye Queen Elizabeth.
Cartoon from 2019.
In honor of today's student debt news I thought I'd share some of my cartoons on the subject! Enjoy! Oh, and are we doing anything about how much colleges still cost?!
What’s next for Liz Cheney?
A cartoon I drew in May of 2021.
What reality?
A cartoon I drew from December of 2020.
As students return to college campuses, I thought I’d share this 2003 political cartoon I drew about affirmative action and college admissions.
Donald Trump and the truth…
A 2019 political cartoon I drew for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Going on air with the Leonard Lopate Show!
Had it with thoughts and prayers? Me too.
How about we arm teachers with more supplies, books, and resources?
Nothing new to share on guns in the United States and the NRA - National Rifle Association of America.
My free speech cartoons with Jonathan Zimmerman’s “bracing” text won the gold Benjamin Franklin Award from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA). Great graduation present, friends!
Happy Mother's Day!
Philadelphia Inquirer Cartoon from 2017.
New fashion trends...
A cartoon from 2019
I wish this cartoon wasn't relevant anymore...
Let the Supreme Court regulate the men who make the babies. Old toon. Old problem. Old men making the decisions.
A 30-year-old Philly Daily News cartoon. We'll see if we're still standing 30 days from now.

You're invited! I'm joining other local toonists from National Cartoonists Society are showing our toons at the Scotts Lane Gallery in East Falls. OPENING THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, December 10, 5-8.
Come visit and meet the makers... It's up through the new year but who doesn't want a cartoon for Christmas?
Nearly spilled my coffee over this AM's WSJ letters page featuring Donald J. Trump's delusional diatribe. Not cartooning regularly anymore but just couldn't resist. Looking forward to the WSJ print side's investigation into these claims.
PA GOP is just bound and determined to screw up our elections. So much easier than getting something done for the people of the state. s
The approximately 73% male Texas legislature and their 100% male (allegedly) Governor Abbott drove me out of retirement with their recent sanctimonious abortion legislation. If they wanted to end abortion they could zip up their pants and keep them zipped. I can't let my birth state go to the dogs without a fight!
Just found this old Sunday comic strip. Now that I am a grandmother (with a rather smaller dog, Toony), I wish I had a strip to record all the exhausting lessons the little rascals have taught me.
A brilliant young relative of mine who has actually spent time working in Afghanistan and knows more about that world than I ever will and saw this cartoon said, "Just don't be surprised how many Afghans would choose the 15th Century." Just a reminder how different our worlds are.
Flying the flag, one way or the other. From 2019.
One of the things I most like about in person voting is being recognized by the loyal volunteer neighbors who person the polling places for decades. But if we're going to have it for regular voters, we should have it for everyone who votes on laws that determine the future of our republic. Let's see... whom might that include?.... (from a previous supreme court)
One good thing about retirement is not having to jump to the drawing board at every jolt in news cycle. I'm going straight for the "olds cycle" (now known as "recycle") with a couple of toons done over the years about America's Dad -- from the time he advised young men to pull up their pants to a reminder that other
men accused of harassing apparently had better lawyers. I couldn't fit it in but before his fall from grace, I drew a 1997 sympathy cartoon when Cosby's son died.
“Riders of Justice”is best movie I’ve seen in, ummm, lots of years. Granted, I’m not a reliable critic. I leave that to Carrie Rickey and Gary Thompson. But if you’re looking for an action packed, slyly funny, ingeniously plotted, tender finish with lots of dead bodies, many great actors and one young actress, try it out.
It’s the exact opposite of Nomadland except that the two lead actors manage to get through their respective films with one facial expression. https://www.ridersofjustice.com
RIDERS OF JUSTICE follows recently-deployed Markus, who is forced to return home to his care for his teenage daughter after his wife is killed in a tragic train accident. But when a survivor of the wrecked train surfaces claiming foul play, Markus begins to suspect his wife was murdered and embarks....
I'm taking a little sabbatical to figure out life, finally. This is how I'm spending it.
Give a damn! Tune in THursday at noon to the National Archives program with my and co-conspirator Jonathan Zimmerman on our book "Free Speech and Why You Should Give a Damn." Former ACLU head Nadine Strossen will be quizzing us and you can send your questions, corrections or heckling comments. Noon! See you there.
Ummm. Anyone else a little nervous that over half of US companies, local governments, schools, healthcare etc., etc. etc. have a propensity to be hit by ransomware (according to 5/11/21 WSJ chart)? Pipeline just the biggest to directly hit our wallets and interconnected digital security.
Don't you just hate clean air, clean streams and clean oceans?
The American judicial system diagramed. Who's more powerful, Mark Zuckerberg or John Roberts?
Liz Cheney takes the measure of her GOP colleagues. https://www.gocomics.com/signewilkinson/2021/05/05

Much as I prefer sending paper products through the mail to sending messages via snoop dog internet providers, I recently received a post card mailed from approximately 5 miles away in another Philadelphia zip code well over two weeks after it was mailed. Sigh. https://www.gocomics.com/signewilkinson/2021/05/03

Let me be the last to wish everyone a liberated World Press Freedom Day. Odd it's still called free "Press". My former "papers" just got rid of their presses. The internet spreads the news but news PAPERS are better imagery for cartooning. Knowing what cartoonists around the world have faced, I'm grateful for our free speech protections.
