Bad Reporter

Bad Reporter is a satirical large-format cartoon strip that lampoons current events. Bad Reporter uses news headlines combined with cartoon characters to satirize the latest trend, politician and news events. From politics to pop culture, Asmussen’s strip is a combination of politics, pop culture and the ridiculous news stories in America that are almost too funny to be true.

The San Francisco Chronicle commissioned Don to draw Bad Reporter to cover the 2003 California gubernatorial election. The strip proved so popular with readers that the Chronicle kept the strip after the election and continues to run it twice a week.

Bad Reporter offers a fresh perspective on current events and comic relief in a serious news climate.
