Um, so this is a new ad from PETA…

I’m big into not injuring the women I have sex with or bashing their heads into walls. Also? If I were to, for some reason I cannot possibly fathom, put a woman in a neck brace, I wouldn’t then make her walk to the store in her panties to bring me back bell peppers. Just me.

I would also then eat ten Big Macs to decrease my women-hurting sex prowess to the point where they would enjoy sex with me and possibly consider doing so again or even, hey, let’s go to the store together and grab some post-sex bell peppers to munch on because that’s a thing apparently.

But if you are into that sort of stuff, they have a website just for you that includes tips for women on how to have sex with a vegan stud without damaging your lady bits. “Your vegan boyfriend has one goal in mind: a sexual marathon… your goal would be: Finish many times, and don’t break your pelvis.” And breaking your pelvis in half isn’t your only worry: “Protect your corneas from his turbocharged loads with OSHA-approved goggles.”

Cartoons I’ve done on PETA and their beautifully subtle campaigns can be found here and here.

CampusProgress from CPAC:

If you’ll excuse me, I am going to listen to 36 Chambers on repeat to purge this from my head.

NPR:

“Unfortunately, the pope has had to suffer attacks, especially by the media over these past years in various parts of the world, when he should receive the gratitude of us all, in the church and outside it,” [Catholic Cardinal] Levada said.

That’s someone talking about the child rape epidemic in their church and the horrible suffering it has caused. The pope.

I guess it’s poop week here at Bors Blog.

So the following scene happened to me, followed by the tweets. A follower of my feed who is a graphic designer here in Portland, Michael Buchino, was sketching at the time they went out and decided to draw it up.

There’s a Q&A with me over at the Oregonian News Network’s blog.

Q. What goes into being a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist?

I draw 2-3 cartoons a week which means poring over the news every day and obnoxiously checking Twitter for breaking news while people are trying to have a conversation with me. Some cartoon ideas come easy and sometimes I’m tearing my hair out (what’s left) to try to coax forth an idea, but I always meet the deadline and the cartoons magically appear in papers, which is the coolest reward.

To be a real pro in this industry you have to be good at staying up all night to meet your deadline at the last minute. I’ve gotten real good at that over the years and now my entire life is governed by deadlines. I couldn’t even finish this interview without giving myself one.  [Read the rest]
