Our Finest Hour?
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons The context of the following quote from John Hancock, best known for his iconic signature on the Declaration of Independence, was the conflict between Great Britain and the American Colonies.

Biden & Bernie
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, “Herman, I just heard it on the news that there’s a car right now going the wrong way on the same road you’re traveling.

Socialism, No Worries, Gonna Work Great
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “The church of Jesus Christ has traditionally condemned socialism because the Scriptures teach that private property is a God-given right.

Seasons of a Soul, Eden Political Cartoons
By Dave Eden “Cleve Wilkie, Baptist preacher, evangelist, author and columnists, was a delightful fellow to be around. He had an exceptionally quick wit.
