After the shock of Obama's being elected put me into a short coma, I am back here and at: WWW.MJOFFEN.COM c/o KEENSPOT COMICS to turn on and spear my hero President-Elect Barack Obama ... and also the rest of the real world. Hopefully, people, I will have little to work with.

As a political cartoonist, people ask me if I'd prefer the world keep going to shit so I have "more material." What a retarded question. Anyone who'd say yes to that - even just internally, in the marked "private" evil quadrant of your most selfish bit of the mind - should be made into pate.

I invite others to call in & talk all current crap on THE DAMAGE REPORT online radio show - LIVE every Mon & Wed 2-4PM PST c/o www.LATalkRadio.com 1-323-203-0815 Now Podcasting FREE on iTunes! BTW, I say it's not shameless self-promotion if you are not getting paid and inviting people to chime in.

Best to all of you and all of yours in the brand new, historic, game-changing, hope-giving year that is 2009! Love, MJO

Joe "Republicrat" Lieberman is on my Top Ten Guys I'm Glad I'm Not list this week. Where's that list on CNN?

I imagine the true exchange between President Elect Barack Obama and Lame-Duck President Bush went a little something like this.

Homosexuality, unlike Race, does not show on the outside, and is therefore too often dismissed as a non-biological condition.Our nation is once again up against the wall of our own RESISTANCE to CHANGE. The irony at this moment in our nation's history is palpable.

How can we, America, resolve the issue of Gay Rights prior to a general consensus that the fact of homosexuality is not, by and large, a choice?

It seems to me that this is the same lesson humans have taught ourselves so many times, perhaps one degree farther in difficulty for people to comprehend than the last ISM we just largely overcame.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the best political comics are worth an intelligent essay. But when it comes to trying to express the injustice of Prop 8 to its backers, no one picture remotely tells the story.

It is arguable that the Gay Marriage Dilemma is in aspects more complicated, in terms of social anthropology, than even the Civil Rights movement. That was - literally - a black and white issue.

It seems to me the dilemma is: which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

Happy Halloween everybody! Here is my scary Halloween themed political cartoon. I thought I'd try something different than McCain in an Obama mask and vice-versa like so many I have seen. As a woman, I feel extra-justified in the inferences here... Enjoy!

Well around the time any of you see this, Obama will be all over the airwaves. Don't forget to chase watching his infomercial with his appearance on Jon Stewart's the Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Speaking of television - the people over at American Idol must be chomping at the bit to get their show rolling, after so courteously waiting for the election to finish. Which got me thinking -- wouldn't be American Idol judges just love to weigh in on the election?

Today's political cartoon is my vision of exactly that... if only we could text in our votes for president!

How tragic. What a life this young woman is having. With her devastating loss weighing on my mind today, like so many others who cannot imagine the suffering she must be going through, I couldn't bring myself to make light of the world today. So here is my small tribute to this powerful talent who radiates goodness and has already overcome so much to get her gift of song out into the world.

Wow - keeping up with this election is tough. I am going to have to simplify my style! Everybody sure is a critic, but that's fair enough. Especially if one is doing a political cartoon. But it never ceases to amaze me how people become angry when they don't like your opinion. Such internet rage I am seeing! Sigh It will all be better when Barack is president. :)

In the meantime, I am launching a new site. MJOffen.com

I hope you are all enjoying the election proceedings as much as I am.
I missed posting my political cartoon here on Friday by ONE MINUTE! So here it comes. I love this one, if I do say so myself. :)

As a bonus, here are a few more from my political strip - these are not as fresh out of the oven as Monday-Fridays, but I don't normally publish on the weekends so I'm catching you guys up here at DK! Lucky you. ;)
