A Letter From Michael:
It's with great sadness that I announce the end of the Investor's Business Daily daily print edition and the end of a great editorial page, as you know it. I am proud of the work that we've accomplished over the last ten years that I have been co-managing the page and the many years before that.
Wes Mann & company have constituted the finest editorial team- one that delivered real news and real issues without the filter of political correctness. It was a beacon for the truth. I was proud to work with them and our page will be missed, at a time when it is needed the most.
When I came on board at IBD, I promised Bill O'Neil two things: I would elevate the visibility and influence of the IBD editorial page to the most influential political movers and shakers in the country and I would win him a Pulitzer Prize. I am proud to say that I accomplished both of those goals.
I thank Bill for giving me this great opportunity.
I can only say I learned so much from our thoughtful, knowledgeable and intrepid staff. It was a team of original thinkers with a great depth of knowledge, brilliant and fearless.
I am so proud that I won my second Pulitzer for the IBD editorial page. They are some of the finest journalists I know. It was a pleasure beginning each day with them. I don't think I ever had so much fun going to work each and every single day. I will miss it.
It is the end of an era but the beginning of a new chapter. I will keep you all posted.
Today is my last day my cartoons will be posted on the IBD website. For the time being, you can continue to see my work here and at: www.michaelpramirez.com
Personally my husband likes his political cartoons....
.....but he has become antiTrump .....
....and that’s disappointing and a turn off.
Oh, that’s too bad. Then I won’t miss him! Not that I knew him...
I don’t keep up with him either....
...but my husband just reiterated he had gone AntiTrump....
Sorry to bother you, but is this the same Michael Ramirez that was a FReeper?
Thanks.
5.56mm
That’s sure how it looks
Different name, different ideology.
That is sad news
Best cartoonist working today
That’s unfortunate, I haven’t seen any of his latest stuff.
Michael was the only + about the IBD trend.
No need for IBD or WJS or Rush or Levin.
Wes Mann & company have constituted the finest editorial team- one that delivered real news and real issues without the filter of political correctness. It was a beacon for the truth!
I think I might have an idea...
No kidding. I haven't missed a single Ramirez cartoon for years. It's the only reason I visit NRO (okay, Kat Timpf). From now on, I'll just visit his site.
I went to his home for a Christmas party. Amazing artist. He did a bust of Reagan in his style, I wish he would sell that.
Pookie’s #NeverTrump Toons will always have room for another.

My FAVORITE political cartoonist..!
He and that Grrrraphics guy, both stellar..!
Does Rupert Murdoch control IBD?
If so, that would explain it : )>>> i doubt it bill o’neil is trump like
Thanks, bitt...had read it after being pinged to the article at The Briefing Room...have shared several e-mails with him over the years.
