That Deaf Cartoonist

Enough? GPC Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist This was an editorial cartoon published in SIGNews, April 2009 issue. After learning about a campaign for a new president at Gallaudet, I came up with an idea, merging with the American Gladiators TV show along with the presidential candidates. Wishing them luck! ‘Til next time—Matt

Notifying Cartoon
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? The other side that we as deaf and hearing consumers do not see. Here is what my imagination came up with... yep, those are bunny slippers! ‘Til next [...]

Forgetful Cartoon
That Deaf Cartoonist Before leaving the house, there are so many things to remember like your car keys, jacket, diaper bag, and of course your “lifeline”— your pager.

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 [...]

That Deaf Cartoonist Raising a CODA is always fun and sometimes a challenge.

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. Clearing out the dishwasher is a good example. When living with a hearing person it can be very noisy. Oh well, somebody has to do the chores! [...]
