Well, if you look at the cartoon closely, Charley is not advocating that people forget about the election. I think his cartoon just illustrates (humorously) his observation that a large part of the electorate is cutting back under the "new normal," taking "staycations" and maybe trying to use a Link card to pay for it -- and because the economic mess has impacted them personally they are telling …   more ›

Artist Charley Krebs shows off his Patch work at Riverside Public Library.

For cartoonist Charley Krebs, drawing his thoughts has always been a form of shorthand journalism. "A good image will draw you in," Krebs said of his work.
