DarylCagle.comPresident Trump has declared a wall emergency so he can build a border wall after a bruising battle with congress, which rejected his wall plans. We have lots of Declaration of Emergency cartoons! Here’s mine from yesterday.
This is my favorite emergency cartoon, from Dave Whamond …
These three are by my buddy, Steve Sack …
This is from my buddy, Rick McKee …
And my buddy, Dave Granlund …
… and my buddy, Jimmy Margulies …
Our Bulgarian Cagle Cartoonist, my buddy Christo Komarnitski, started an editorial cartoon newspaper called “Prass Press” which roughly translates to 
either “Whack newspaper” or “Pig newspaper” meaning the newspaper that “whacks the (government) pigsty in Bulgaria -the dirty dealings, hypocrisy and corruption.” If only Bulgarian readers could see a copy of the newspaper I’m sure they would enjoy it.
Alas, just like in the old communist days, when government authorities don’t like political cartoons, newspapers just “disappear”. More than 90% of the copies of Prass Press have been lost by the only distribution company in Bulgaria, which happens to be controlled by the Bulgarian government that the Prass Press criticizes.

The media is energized by the “ban” on seven Muslim countries: Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Those are seven nasty places. I’d like to see a ban on refugees from all nasty places without regard to a religious test. There are lots more nasty places to add to this list.
Today’s cartoon is an upgrade to an oldie that I drew a couple of years ago.
Here’s the original, drawn when the GOP was opposing President Obama’s plans to welcome thousands of Syrian refugees.
My starting point for this one is this great cartoon from our Greek Cagle Cartoonist, Michael Kountouris, about the European Union.
Sorry to be away from doing the videos for so long! Yesterday I streamed my process drawing this one and you can see the whole thing in real time in the YouTube videos below. Here’s the angry face-off between the Trump-USA and Mexican eagles.
The video below shows me drawing this one, from scratch, on paper, with a pencil.
In the next video I’m coloring the cartoon in Photoshop …
Yes! The beard is gone for the foreseeable future! (I know that is shocking – it’s still me … really.)
Donald Trump made a surprise trip to Mexico today. He is rather unpopular in Mexico, which led me to draw this cartoon featuring Mexico’s famous Angel of Independence statue reacting to Trump’s greeting.
The Angel of Independence in Mexico City is the scene of frequent political protests and is an icon in Mexico like the Statue of Liberty is to us. One of my favorite cartoonists in Mexico, Angel Boligan, draws the Angel often, and I thought I would post a few – here she is in one that Boligan calls “Sin City”
And here she is as a cigarette …
Here she’s replaced by the police.
And in this one, she seems to have lost her motivation – or found new motivation …
See me draw this Trump cartoon in the video below …
and see me color the cartoon in Photoshop in the video below …
Breaking news can make a cartoon go missing. I was finishing up the color on this Donald Trump immigration cartoon last Friday afternoon when the news about the Paris Terror Attacks broke. Clearly, newspapers would not me interested in Donald Trump for at least a week. I notice that it is only today that the Donald is creeping back into the news with word that he is now leading all the polls again.
I thought this cartoon would be provocative, I didn’t guess that it would be ignored. I guessed wrong.
