Dan  is one of America’s most refreshing editorial cartoonists. His visual skits - sharp, sly, humorous and memorable, tackles issues such as economic inequality, corporate malfeasance and the government’s abuse of power. 

He approaches most issues from the left, but doesn’t hesitate to go after the liberals when he thinks they’re confused or cowardly. His cartoons, distributed by Tribune Media Services three or four times a week, appear in such newspapers as The Washington Post, The International Herald Tribune and The Los Angeles Times and are widely reprinted in papers and newsweeklies around the world, including Time, Newsweek, the Economist and The New York Times’ Sunday “Week in Review.”
