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.
“The enormous strain on the U.S. budget—and the growing deficits tied to wars pushed by hawkish voices in the Trump administration—are forcing cuts to programs like childcare, schools, and STEP,” said Ray. “With gas and food prices continuing to climb, many worry that at this pace, even Social Security could eventually be on the chopping block.”
