This is a cover design I did for Sioux Falls historical author Wayne Fanebust. I think this is his 7th(?) book. Wayne’s best work is the bibliography he wrote about R.F. Petigrew.
He will have a book signing soon at Zandbroz for his new book.

I had to laugh, then cry, at this promotional poster for the Winter Wonderland at Falls Park, saying it is ‘FREE’. Hardly, it was estimated by the SF Parks department that the labor and decorations cost about $50,000 in 2008, that does not include electricity. The display [...]
After reading this letter, I don’t know whether to comb my hair or shoot myself?
Human religion denies holiness and ignores the omnipotent, personal agency of the Holy Spirit. It is a poor, pale, sickly thing born of the union of the heart of the world with [...]
While I disagree with this parent group’s intentions (shortening the school year), I agree 100% with putting this issue to a vote. It is blatantly obvious that Homan and the School Board are inept in solving problems and listening to parents.

Does this guy love losing at every office he runs for? Just curious.
Former South Dakota lawmaker Ron Volesky of Huron says his campaign for the Democratic nomination to run for governor will be managed by his son, Tucker, a high school sophomore.

Howdy Doody would have made a better mayor
This should come as no surprise;
Wiedermann, who was present at the deposition, said he was surprised to hear that the mayor is briefed by staff on contracts and that Munson doesn’t always read the entire contract before [...]
The Gargoyle Leader’s editorial board never ceases to astonish me. Today they wrote an editorial reminding citizens who should set policy in Sioux Falls;
More importantly, though, city leaders – not local developers – need to be driving policy decisions on whether to adjust the hookup fees.
No shit sherlock. This [...]

I made this toon after the Pavilion reported they ended 2007 in the black (without mentioning they get millions in subsidies from the public)
[...]One of my pet peeves I have with Democrats is that they never go for the jugular. Why go half-way?
Sen. Scott Heidepriem blamed years of irresponsible spending for the current hole in the state budget, saying South Dakota has not been governed by fiscal conservatives in the last seven [...]
Sioux Falls drummer Bobby Berge is one of the musicians interviewed in the current issue of Hush Magazine, published in Spain, talking about his days playing with the late guitarist Tommy Bolin of Sioux City.

Listen closely to end of his speech, funny shit. I guess once the crowd figured out they were had, they were dumbfounded, then they violently attacked the punkers, and the state police ignored the incident.

Event Center Task Force Chair, Terry Baloun lays it on thick
We all knew this was coming like a freight train, the Gargoyle Leader endorses the Event Center Task Force’s flawed plan;
The plan, in its broad strokes, deserves the council’s [...]
Testimony ended on September 4, 2009 in this case, so why is it taking so long for Judge Caldwell to give her opinion? Good question. It almost makes you wonder if she is dragging her feet to see if the city pulls a rabbit out of their [...]

I suggested a few years ago that SW should just be in Fawick Park, it would make it more accessible to people with special needs and would centralize the program. I still think it is a good idea, and maybe when the new mayor takes over, whoever it is, I [...]
