SILK ROAD Ships to Stores!

SILK ROAD TO RUIN: IS CENTRAL ASIA THE NEW MIDDLE EAST?, my blockbuster essay/graphic novel look at the Stans and my trips thereto, began arriving in stores this week. Check with your local bookseller or order online; depending on how fast the boxes get opened you could have one in your hands by later this week or the next.

Vice President Elect

It’s official! The votes have been counted, and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists–the only organization to which I belong–has elected me its Vice President. I love the AAEC and its function as an advocate for the editorial cartooning profession, and am thrilled that my fellow cartoonists have confidence in me. It should be noted that I am the first alternative cartoonist to hold a high-ranking position in the organization.
