The Streets of Taiwan...a poem I wrote this one summer when I was visiting Taiwan. I had lived there previously so I was already familiar with the island. One question that looms throughout the piece is the relationship between China and Taiwan. China claims it as a territory. Taiwan considers itself independent (with help from the US).

'Evolution in Practice'--a cartoon Ralph drew this cartoon with India ink on a handwritten letter in the 1990s. The letter subsequently got wet and smudged, so I had to do a little inexpert graphic repair. The original caption, "Evolution in Practice", was smeared beyond recognition.

Be All You Can Be (a cartoon) One of Ralph's cartoons served as cover art for a book whose title was that cartoon's caption: Be All You Can Be was the US Army's recruiting slogan for about twenty years (80s-90s). Considering that he was a major when he drew it, his irreverent attitude towards the military may seem a little surprising. Yet there are many military service members who don't appreciate their lives being casually squandered, not to protect the

The Priestly Class (Two Cartoons) In "The Lowest Animal," Twain says: "Man is the Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself, and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.

Ralph made an acronym of PIMPS, and he had cartoon.

Many of our valiant police... This week's "primitive man" cartoons is a drawing he created to protest the harebrained cannabis policies in 1980s California. I thought it appropriate since we've evolved so little in terms of modernizing drug policy. Lately we've been told Cannabis will remain Schedule 1 according to DEA.
