The artist is Clay Bennett, a Pulitzer Prize winner and a veteran of his craft. Here’s some more of his work:
The wire hanger one hit me like a ton of bricks.
Can someone explain the last one to me
@t3sticles it’s a reference to coat hanger abortions, because defunding Planned Parenthood doesn’t stop abortions, it just means that people are forced to seek dangerous back-alley solutions
Ohhhh that makes sense, thank you
Clay Bennett is real good, but all these cartoons are before the Trump era.
Trump broke him hard, and I dunno if he ever recovered. His thing is a simple metaphor that is punchy and insightful. The blatant cruelties of Trumpism were behind his ability to really work with in that context, and his work suffered heavily for it.
