About this site

The purpose of this site is to provide a forum for fans and a place to get a little background information on cartoons, as well as provide opportunities to contact the artist behind the cartoons. Often readers who are drawn to respond to a single cartoon are surprised to find that the cartoonist behind the work is not the raging misogynistic rascist they had pegged him to be on the basis of one cartoon that they may have misunderstood. In a way, this provides an opportiunity to be an apologist for the work that appears in newspapers around the globe.

Fans of CAM's work are also invited to purchase items of interest at the online store.
