Calling a girl a boy - Nov 23, 1999

from the Daily Nebraskan

Another example of a struggling cartoonist trying not to be an idiot, here I called a women’s soccer player a man. Sure, she was a brutish thug who started a fight that turned into a big brawl at an NU women’s soccer match. But this was kind of low.

from the Daily Nebraskan

A local pastor named Jimmy Creech was in trouble for performing a same-sex marriage. I’ve long lost the photo, but someone actually cut out the pieces and put together a Jimmy Creche.

The Browns - Nov 15, 1999

from the Daily Nebraskan

Another cartoon accused of being racist. I was just trying to say how many good football players Nebraska had with the last name of Brown. Some thought the white woman was supposed to be OJ’s dead ex-wife Nicole Brown. This is why I don’t do nice cartoons anymore.
