The Art of Being Not Okay

Didn't think I had a cartoon in me today; improvised this one without a script.

Not feeling so hot, but that's okay. Sometimes, you just gotta sit with an elephant.

Eric Garner and Family

De Blasio: They've said "Black lives matter." And they said it because it had to be said. It's a phrase that should never have to be said. It should be self-evident. But our history, sadly, requires us to say that black lives matter.

Just a sketch today.

Sketchbook: Drawing from Photos

No cartoon this morning. Working on my next McSweeney's column, so let me share some sketchbook warm-ups with you. One of my favorite things to do for fun is draw from old pictures and feel my way through what the photographer saw at one moment in time. It's good practice and pure joy.

I just joined Instagram @cartoonconnie and will post more sketchbook and process stuff there.

Next challenge: To draw more from life! Thanks, as always, for reading.
