This must be some kind of political statement. “Washington is broken and Obama and the liberal media are going to fix everything.” Just stick to drawing.

Get well soon Matt… mostly because all the other cartoonists suck. Wait, is Nick still here? I meant everybody else EXCEPT Nick.

I know a great acupuncturist in Nyack if the pain meds don’t cut it.

Hey thanks everyone! The pain is mercifully subsiding with every day. I should be able to “draw” by the end of the week/beginning of next. Funny thing is, the physical difficulty of drawing is almost immaterial compared to the inability to think of any halfway decent ideas while being distracted by what feels like a rusty machete sticking into my shoulder.

As to DebS question…The mug shot at the top of my blog is a crap picture of me, but I didn’t really care. Just humanizes the blog a little. Maybe I should use one that does actually resemble the way I look? As to Hugh Laurie, my hat is off to him. I have been living in the US since ‘83 and I still can’t do a believable American accent. My wife laughs at me mockingly when I try (It’s okay, I return the favor when she rolls out her British effort!)

And Nick Anderson? He and I have been friends since we were callow, sniveling nobodies drinking nervously in the corner at editorial cartoonist conventions…

Hi Matt.
Get well soon I´m addicted to your daily cartoon. They are just as important, as coffee in the morning.
