I started cartooning in college at the Daily Nebraskan in 1999, the daily at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I've been slowly updating the backlog of old DN cartoons. If you like what you see, or perhaps remember "the good old days," the Daily Nebraskan still has some copies of "The Best of Neal Obermeyer" for sale.

In January of 2003, after graduating, I began cartooning for the San Diego Reader. In March 2005, they began posting my cartoons on their website, www.sdreader.com, so if you came here from there, you can find many of my older Reader cartoons.

During the summer of 2004 I began cartooning for the Lincoln Journal Star, alternating with Nebraska cartooning legend Paul Fell. This past summer, the Journal Star began posting my cartoons online. You can view them and the corresponding discussions in the comments section at journalstar.com/blog/nealo.php.

Beyond those three, I've also recently started cartooning for the Omaha Reader after a stint providing bi-weekly cartoons for the Omaha City Weekly, and I also occasionally contribute cartoons to HappyYoungPeople.com.

I realize that visitors to this site are coming from cities and states that have virtually no political overlap, so I've created a new category called "national" which pulls together cartoons from all sources that relate to national issues. If you're looking for any of my non-political cartooning, film, video, radio and other work, visit cheeksofgod.com.
