Mark Fiore's Cartoon Update

I create a weekly political animation that I publish every Thursday morning, (if not sooner). You can also join the Ink Spot Club and find sketches, writing, audio & other types of mad satirist experiments — all while supporting my work!

Mark's cartoons are insightful comments on current events and wickedly funny! I love his work.
