That Deaf Cartoonist

“Toy Story 3
That Deaf Cartoonist Hey folks, Here is another a cartoon parody that represents the classic tale growing up deaf. I am sure many of us had the experience of feeling confused about our true identity.

“Dinner for Schmucks” Cartoon Parody
That Deaf Cartoonist This is a perfect cartoon parody that represent the classic tale growing up deaf and having dinner with people who don’t use sign language. It's never fun. We may even be tempted to call them Schmucks but we wouldn't dare. Because after-all we love them or we wouldn’t be having dinner with them. So let [...]

“Inception” Cartoon Parody
That Deaf Cartoonist It’s summer. It’s hot. So it would make sense that there would be a hot summer movie that everyone is talking about. So here is my comic spin on the blockbuster movie, “Inception”. I couldn’t help but laugh thinking of the deaf version of this movie. The world could be in a dream state collapsing [...]

One Hand Signing Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Ya know, in deaf culture, we are able to sign with one hand while holding a variety of things in the other.

Iron Man Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist I’m counting down the days until the movie Iron Man 2 opens. I really enjoyed the first one and am looking forward to seeing the sequel with some more super villains.

Check-up Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist This cartoon is never been published and seen, so here it goes! In my opinion this kind of chart would be more accessible for deaf patients.

Videophone Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist This is cartoon is something I stretched beyond my imagination– using a videophone when standing up instead of placing it on the table. After I drew it, I realized that a remote control is a quick solution. But then I thought Deaf people don’t need a superhero belt that holds several gadgets like wireless devices, [...]

That Deaf Cartoonist Imagine that happening!? How embarrassing! But really I would prefer someone texting me instead of just walking up to me and pointing at my pants. It’s much less embarrassing. I hope someone is kind enough to text me the next time I have toilet paper on my shoe or spinach in my teeth. ‘Til next time—Matt

Other Side Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Video Relay Services (VRS) bridges the communication gap between the deaf and hearing world. Sometimes I wonder about the VI agent’s. What do their surroundings looks like?

Shrunk Hands Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Wow! Technology has really changed quickly over the past few years. Pagers have morphed from a bulky box worn on the waist to a slender lightweight gadget that you can slip into your pocket. One thing the technology wizards have NOT come up with is how to make a keypad that accommodates someone with big [...]

Red Alert Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist This was my editorial cartoon printed in SIGNews (Feb ‘09 Issue). I created this political cartoon, after hearing the news about many state budget cuts resulting in closing schools for the deaf. It saddens me to witness deaf children’s education being negatively impacted by these cuts. Not only do these cuts hurt deaf children [...]

Excuse ME! Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist I can see most of your deaf heads shaking and saying “YEAH!” thats happened to me many times! I don’t understand why somebody would be so impatient. Wouldn’t it be easier and demonstrate more etiquette just step around the person who is blocking the way? Sure would save some embarrassment. ‘Til next time—Matt

Creative CC Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist It is amazing to see how technology has evolved so rapidly the past 40 years. I remember when the caption decoder was invented and the big black box on top of my TV which provided the captioning. I'll never forget when that box was no longer needed and all TV's were built with the [...]

Screaming CODA Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Raising a CODA is always fun and sometimes a challenge. No matter how many times I tell my son that being profoundly deaf means I can’t hear at all – he still doesn’t seem to understand it. But then again he is only three years old. Although many times I see him screaming, singing, and talking very loudly (or [...]

Clattering Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Sometimes, a deaf person is naive about the sounds they are making. They may know they do make a noise but not know how LOUD that noise is.
