The Los Angeles Lakers are the 2010 NBA World Champions. Gerard likes the Lakers! This comic had an interesting outcome. I actually had the Boston Celtics winning. But in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, I changed up the text and uniforms. Here's a shout-out to Photoshop!

No more "LOST" or "24"

"LOST" and "24" are gone. I enjoyed both shows. I guess I will have to think of something else to do now in the evenings.

Former Courier cartoonist nominated for award

caricaturesbykerry@gmail.com (caricatureKerry) — Mon, 24 May 2010 14:39:00 +0000

I truly appreciate the recent write-up that was featured in the New Pittsburgh Courier. I illustrated cartoons for that historic newspaper while I lived in Pittsburgh! To bad I didn't win, perhaps next year....

BP continues to try to stop the gigantic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico with little success. Perhaps it's time to call in the professional "clean-up" cat!

It's time to realize that the use of killer whales for entertainment is outdated and unjust. How many more whales are going to have to "snap!" As a child, I've visited SeaWorld often and sat in on those killer whale, dolphin or seal shows. They were not fun, nor entertaining! The animals were treated like brainwashed slaves. It's unnatural for the huge water mammals to be treated like a common house pet.
