For all those of you who ate matzoh this last week, sink your teeth into a bagel. Just don’t sink your knife into your palm.
Matzoh for 8 days
During the week of Passover, observant Jews eat matzoh in the place of any bread product. That’s lotsa matzoh, but today is the last day.
Manna From Heaven
Things are looking up!
The Pitfalls of Soup
Making a Matzoh ball that is not as hard as a baseball takes a practiced hand.
Passover Seders Happen All Over the World
At Passover dinner, it is custom to invite folks from all walks of life to join you at your table.
Mo' Moses!
Moses is always pictured with a beard. What if he had peach fuzz?
Moses, after the Red Sea
The guy had skills. Come back for more Passover cartoons each day!
What's on the Passover Plate?
There is an array of foods on the ceremonial Passover plate, by and large symbolizing oppression. Ironically, oppression can be tasty.
Passover Dinner, Take One...
The Haggadah is the book used at the Passover seder to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt. Matzoh is mentioned. Meat is not.
A Passover Dinner is Called a Seder
Part of the story of Passover is that 10 plagues descended onto Egypt. My favorite one has always been frogs. Pour me another glass of Maniribbetz!
Prepping Before Passover
For those new to Passover, some families clean out all the leavened bread, called “chametz,” from their homes before the start of Passover. It’s a big day for pigeons.
Passoverpalooza Starts Today!
Passover is eight days, but we’re celebrating for twelve. Have some laughs with your matzoh.

Courage From A Can
This September I left the National Cartoonists Society weekend with this big hunk of bronze. It’s the Elzie Segar Award for Outstanding Contribution to the field of comics, named after the creator of Popeye. It was a real honor. Less than a week later, I learned that Rhymes With Orange lost a hunk of newspapers (and revenue) when Gannett Newspaper Group decided all their comics pages should be the same across the country. Their tastes were very male and mostly pale. I was face down for a good few days, but now I’m looking to borrow some of Popeye’s courage and find new ways to make some spinach. More on that below.

This was Halloween night, after the costume parade through town. The highlight of the parade was this duo:
Making Spinach
To offset the paper loss, we’re making merch. See the new designs in the ComicsKingdom.com store. We’re showcasing them every week on Facebook , Instagram and X. Some folks have asked if we wanted to do a Patreon account. We’re holding off for now, but will have an interesting arrangement to offer in February.
Puppy pants! The only time you want a dog on your leg.
Wrapping paper- Watch your real pets chew it off.
Redrawing Originals
I draw comics on my iPad now, but I’ll redraw them on paper just for you. It’s fun, and I can even customize it!
Archive Flashback
It was in a mega craft store and saw the mini Hannukah display tucked near the back. It reminded me of a toon I did 25 years ago, when I was only 3 years into drawing the strip.
Max, Take Out The Recycling! Good dog.
