Sunday Cartoon Coming to Patch

Charley Krebs has been a newspaper cartoonist for more than 30 years and on Sunday he's bringing his work to Patch. His cartoons take a light-hearted look at life and issues affecting Chicago's suburbs.

Charley Krebs has won multiple awards from the Illinois Press Association and Suburban Newspapers of America since he began his career with a weekly Chicago newspaper chain in 1979. His work has appeared in a variety of print and online publications and has been exhibited at venues in several western suburbs.

Look for his cartoon here on Sunday.

Here's a recent sample of Charley's work, published on a cold March day, as Sox and Cub fans awaited Opening Day.

I love the fact that Charley is doing this for the Patch. I have followed his work ever since he started with Chicago Jazz Magazine. What a great addition to this website!

Honestly, I couldn't understand why they spent so much money for a parking lot in the first place???

The problem is the Dept of Agriculture's standards are aimed at farm animals. The standards are wayRead More too low for pet breeding but the USDA has not yet differentiated housepets. She is giving the standard boilerplate answer all puppy mill breeders give. The fact that she passed inspections doesn't mean a thing. Everyone knows the vet she has enlisted is a puppy mill breeder himself so that is an empty argument too. Blah, blah, blah - the same old answers. You've got a good smoke & mirrors show going Madam, but the public is starting to catch on.....
