Long, long ago when I was an undergrad, I drew cartoons for the Stanford Daily. I came across them recently and decided to scan them.

Here are the few published one and the many unpublished ones, in additional to a few notes and the first piece of fan mail I ever received.

* The End of the Mega States? * with Roman Skaskiw and Andy Duncan

roman — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:10:03 +0000

“In our latest edition of Radio Free Market World Report, I talk to Roman Skaskiw about the global secession movement and particularly how this applies to the United States and the European Union. We examine why the world’s wealthiest countries, on a per capita basis, tend to be the smallest states, and why the major exception to this general rule, the United States, managed to avoid the trend.

We discuss whether the United States itself should be saved from secession, why European countries tend to be both socialist and independent, and whether the world will move towards a global government or a global constellation of micro-states.”

It was an honor to read this weekend at The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago, alongside Askold Melnychuk, Alexis Buryk and Virlana Tkacz.

I read my unpublished story, “Storyteller,” and a revision of my favorite essay from the NY Times, Homefires series, “Something Worth Fighting For.”
