Richard Thompson Sunday strip sells at Heritage

Wuerker at work


 Matt Wuerker is the cartoonist at Politico and has been since the very beginning. It's based in my town, but I'd never visited the newsroom. During the government shutdown, Matt invited me to come by. With his permission, here's some photos.

 

Politico is in an office building in Rosslyn and you have to travel through what Matt jokingly called 'The Biosphere' to get to the office area.


This wall of cartoons, essentially 3 giant stickers was created about 11 years ago when they moved into this office.
Here's a photo for scale.

Here's the only Trump cartoon, from the 2015 primaries.
Matt says there are plans to update the wall with newer cartoons.
 
He sits at the back of the newsroom with his artist's desk and watercolors
 
He still draws and paints by hand, and only does some effects digitally.
 
 
He's got a few personal touches including a certificate for being an original Politico member (on the pillar) and some cartoonist histories.  
He was finishing up a drawing and doing the lettering separately to drop it in with Photoshop.  

The finished cartoon on his Instagram feed.

A table of original art sits on the far side of his cubicle for his coworkers and visitors to look through.      
This is one of his favorite cartoons of 2025.

 Like many single-panel cartoonists, Matt would like to be published in the New Yorker, and submits some works to them regularly. So far, the acceptance call hasn't come through, although he's won most of the editorial cartooning awards including the Berryman award last week.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Lord Of The Files"


"Lord Of The Files"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4208

With a big ol' School Book Depository Anniversary Day salute to all you
poor-ass marks who showed out for this shit show. For me, personally, it
just wasn't worth a whole goddamn day of hanging out listing to bitter
Democrats and fauxgressives shitting all over the Left in the drizzling
goddamn damp for maybe a half-hour set of Dropkick Murphys at the end of
it all.

Doubtless, aforementioned marks' nipples are certainly exploding with
delight at the prospect of the DNC apparatchiks on Occupied Capitol Hill
finally getting their damp, stanky little mitts on ZOMG TEH FILES... and
meanwhile, I keep wondering how many Palestinians were murdered today
while the Democratic Party and the New York Times and MSNOW keep yelling
their goddamn faces off about Jeffrey Goddamn Epstein.

Gareth Hinds in Denver this weekend and almost half-done with The Aeneid

From his newsletter:

The Aeneid is barrelling toward the finish line

 
Hello! I've colored 100 pages of The Aeneid and still have 150 to paint by February. If you need me after Thanksgiving you'll find me at my drawing table almost every minute of the day. Here's a glimpse of what's unfolding (as Aeolus releases the winds to capsize Aeneas' fleet)...

At the moment, though, I'm not at my drawing table - I'm in Denver for the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) Annual Convention this Friday to Sunday. If you will also be at the show, come find me at Booth 208 to say hello, grab free swag, get signed books, and see more pages of The Aeneid in progress! I will once again be handing out Lady MacBeth hand wipes, Aeneid buttons, and penteconter safety cards.
