More than one of these cartoons leave feeling republican; it is uncomfortable.

I'd never heard of him, but "Democrat party" stuck out to me.

2005:
----------
[Dick] Wright worked for the Union-Tribune, too (starting in 1976) and later joined The Providence (R.I.) Journal, the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, and The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. Currently, he’s affiliated with the Gwinnett Daily Post of Lawrenceville, Ga.

Longtime editorial cartoonist Dick Wright is leaving the newspaper world Dec. 31 to concentrate on his duties as pastor of a Warrenton, Va., church.

While he’ll no longer be a professional cartoonist, Wright said he may do some drawings for church publications.
----------

Today:
----------
Now the conservative Virginia resident can no longer be silent while liberal Democrats run his state:

I have been retired from drawing cartoons for fifteen years. However, since the election of Governor Northam, and the democrats taking both chambers of the legislature in Virginia, I have been motivated to draw cartoons again that are opposed to the new socialist agenda of the Democrats. I have drawn my first cartoon and I invite you to share it, and the others that are coming, so that people see them and are inspired and motivated by them.

...and I've never used one by Wright. I've posted other conservative cartoonists' work when it was something we could agree on, but Wright is always steeped in wingnut talking points.
