Despite winning the South Carolina Primary, Newt Gingrich is still carrying a lot of baggage forward. The notion that the family values candidate is having to fight off attacks from his second wife over claims he wanted an “open marriage” could hamper the comeback of the former speaker.

Check out what cartoonists think with our new Gingrich and his Women cartoon slideshow.

So far, this GOP Primary has been terrific for guys like me. All the Republican candidates are fun to draw, and at this point the only thing I'm concerned about is having enough pencils to keep up. 

Mitt Romney has suddenly become the right's whipping boy over "vulture capitalism" and his hesitancy to release his tax returns. Romney claims that Gingrich and others are attacking free enterprise, and Mitt's proud of what he's earned despite how much you may envy him. So if he's so proud, why's he afraid to let us know all about it?

Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich bashes the media and pretends to be the "family values" candidate despite his marital record and stories about hospital bed divorces...

Remember after Iowa and New Hampshire, when we all though Mitt would walk away with this primary easily? Yeah, not so much...

I guess New Hampshire wasn't the cruel, bossy dominatrix we all thought she was...

It looks like the internet blackout of big sites like Wikipedia, Reddit and others had the effect they were after, as lawmakers have postponed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the anti-piracy legislation that was intended to cut off access to overseas Websites transferring pirated and counterfeit products. 

Here's my cartoon about SOPA and Protect IP Act (PIPA). I don't know if many people who have railed against SOPA and PIPA understand that not every creator is a rich musician whose house has been featured on MTV Cribs.

So far, comments about my cartoon have run the gamut on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. Here's a sampling:

Adam Badtothe Bohn: "Yep, it's not like there are existing copyright laws..."

Greg Kanyicska: "All ideas must be monetized because an income stream is the only way a creative product can be truly valued. The free spread of ideas is patently worthless."

Francesca Annis: "The cartoon demonstrates something many of us do. Find information in its various forms and share it with others at no charge."

Edward Virtually: "You're an idiot. Welcome to blocking. This isn't a joking matter. SOPA = internet death. Get educated. or shut up." 

Here are some additional cartoons about SOPA and PIPA from a couple of our cartoonists. What do you think?

Man, this GOP Primary is suddenly moving very fast! News outlets are reporting that Rick Perry will announce today that he's ending his campaign for the Republican nomination, denying us the opportunity to see him in one last debate tonight. 

Like most of the GOP candidates, Rick Perry has been a terrific target for cartoonists, who have sharpened their pencils and produced some terrific cartoons. Here are a handful of funny ones:

The Obama administration has decided to deny the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline proposal, stating the environmental studies they were requested to make couldn't be finished in the 60-day deadline imposed by Republicans as part of the payroll tax deal. 

Some of our cartoonists have already weighed in on the controversial oil pipeline. Here are five good ones, and after today's announcement, I'm sure there are many more to come from our cartoonists:

The use of a sinking ship as cartooning imagery has been one of the staples of modern political cartooning for years. Nearly every cartoonist has drawn a ship going down as a metaphor, for business, economics or even politics.

When five or more cartoonists draw the game gag, we refer to it as a ‘Cartoon Yahtzee.‘ There is a basic rule of thumb to go by, “if one other guy drew it, he’s a plagiarist; if five other guys drew it, they’re hacks; if a dozen other guys drew it, they are honoring a tradition”.

With the sinking of the Costa Concordia, several cartoonists thought the incident reminded them of the current situation with the Euro, and went to their drawing boards unaware some of their cartooning colleagues had the same thought.

Following last night’s debate, GOP Presidential hopefuls have hit the trail in hopes of securing a win in the South Carolina primary. In reality, the real race is between Romney's Super PAC and Newt's Super PAC.

For Romney, a win would all but secure his nomination, while Gingrich hopes to pull off an upset with the backing of the state’s strong conservative voters.

Luckily, our cartoonists are on the case. Check out or new Romney vs. Gingrich cartoon slideshow.

For all those debate-deprived readers out there, fear not - the five remaining GOP candidates are back on stage in South Carolina tonight starting at 9 p.m. on Fox News. 

There are a lot of story-lines floating around - will Gingrich's attacks on Romney and Bain Capital stick? Can Ron Paul eek out another upset? Will Rick Perry show up?

Here a five funny political cartoons that should prime you for tonight's debate.

Nearly two years ago, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti and ravaged the poverty-stricken country and its crumbling infrastructure. The earthquake killed roughly 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million homeless. 

I thought it might be appropriate to look back at some of the best cartoons drawn about the crisis, but unfortunately looking back leads to the solemn realization that not much has changed for the Haitian people.
