‘Racist Redux,’ A Political Cartoon By Michael Ray

 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.

“Thought I’d combine some horrid media stories –Trump’s racist Obama post and Jeff Bezos gutting The Washington Post staff,” said Ray. “Both are entwined in the new reality of controlling the narrative with the messages that resonate with MAGA. Once you control the news, the hearts and minds may follow – regardless of truth.”
