Sending you all a sunny basket...

...Just read that a Chinese company bought Hummer!

Introducing the latest addition to the Cleveland Leader team, Ralph Solonitz, whose cartoons will begin to be featured on our site. Although born in Munich, Germany, Ralph has called Cleveland home since a very young age. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1965, and from Kent State University in 1970 where he majored in graphic design. He started his own design business in 1975 called "Ralph Stuff", and does everything from "doodling" cartoons, to buttons, tshirts, and illustrations to drawing up promotional materials and logo designs.

For those unfamiliar with his work, here are a few samples to check out. This first cartoon is a new release, relating to the shooting of the late term abortion doctor George Tiller on Sunday. The other two are from earlier this month.
