After a several-decade hiatus from cartooning and 13 years away from Louisville, Michael Ray returns to cartooning. Previously, he was published in the esteemed local alt-press, including CityPaper, MainStreet, Louisville Artist Magazine, and spent a handful of years at the University of Louisville Cardinal (starting in the mid-seventies “shudder”). He is unapologetically still a liberal hippie. His work will appear as the muse strikes him.
This week’s cartoon addresses 2025, and what a year it has been. “There are so many pressing problems facing freedom today that I picked only a few to spotlight. That doesn’t make justice, war, poverty, anti-semitism, or anything else that Project 2025 and the Donald has implemented less important – there just isn’t that much room in one panel!” said Ray.
