Just Clean Air, Mommy

Just Clean Air, Mommy

I am not a big fan of Mother's Day because it has become too commercial. Why buy things Mom doesn't need? The day can be made meaningful, especially if we choose to break away from the norm. How about a symbolic gift, like the one the child in the cartoon above is giving her mom? …

Breastfeeding Diet

Breastfeeding Diet

For me, one of the things that was so great about being pregnant was that you could eat a lot. While pregnant, I worried some about what I should or shouldn't eat; this was not the time of our mothers, when smoking and drinking were the norm in pregnancy. It's amazing we all turned out …

Broccoli Does Not Trigger Asthma

Broccoli Does Not Trigger Asthma

As Spring approaches, I start thinking about planting stuff. But I also think about allergies. Luckily, no one in our family has serious allergies, and no one has asthma. I have never even held an inhaler in my hands, and for that I feel fortunate. But for many people in this country, asthma is a …

Women's World

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Liza Donnelly|Posted in: activism, Cartoon, Motherhood, pollution, social justice|
Women's World

It's no secret women carry the world on their shoulders. I suggest that women are the ones who literally keep the world working, on the ground making sure the family is fed, and the business runs on time. Women do it all–from the ordinary day-to-day tasks of life, to heading a corporation. And if that …

If Fish Could Talk…

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Liza Donnelly|Posted in: Cartoon, coal, food, Mercury Poisoning|
If Fish Could Talk…

I’ve been thinking about fish a lot lately. What prompted me to do this cartoon was hearing a news story that included a new study that found some pregnant women in central Brooklyn, NY had enough mercury in their systems to land in the EPA’s warning zone. The article says, “the toxic metal most likely …

Mommy, You Can Drive My Car

Mommy, You Can Drive My Car

A few months ago, I was fortunate to be able to take a ride in an electric car. It was incredible, so simple. As I sat down to draw a cartoon this week, I was thinking about that ride and about car emissions and the fact that cars release approximately 333 million tons of carbon …

Repurposed Mom

Last week, I heard that Raffi, the composer, singer and author is joining forces here at MCAF. It was thrilling news, because many of us at MCAF are mothers who remember Raffi as an incredibly motivating force. His songs got us, and our children out of bed, got us dressed and brushing our teeth, got …

LEGO Land

There has been a lot of discussion lately in the "mommy" blog world about the way companies insert gender into their products and marketing. It prompted me to draw a cartoon about this. Just recently, almost 50,000 thousand people signed a petition to,"Tell LEGO to stop selling out girls!" From Ms. Magazine, to The Wall …
