Watercolor-style editorial cartoon showing a packed Trader Joe’s grand opening at Medley in Johns Creek. A parent wearing a flower lei pushes a shopping cart while joking that Johns Creek has “achieved statehood,” as a teenager asks if this is what counts as nightlife. Shoppers, a DJ, and grand opening festivities fill the background.

Greg and Mason Hensley run a lemonade stand outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium during a World Cup game day in Atlanta. Mason asks, “You really think twenty bucks a cup will work?” Greg replies, “We only need to sell thirty-five to cover our tickets. Hang in there. We’ll make it.” The watercolor-style editorial cartoon is signed “Jessica.”

A watercolor-style editorial cartoon showing heavy traffic on GA-400 approaching Atlanta’s skyline. Overhead highway signs point toward “Your Old Job / Corporate Path” and “Hybrid Work / Telehealth / Home Office,” while most cars slowly merge toward the hybrid work lane.

A watercolor-style editorial cartoon shows a large orange construction barrel standing on a stone pedestal in a polished suburban Alpharetta-style town square near Avalon. A plaque on the pedestal reads “Citizen of the Year 2026,” humorously suggesting the construction barrels have become the city’s unofficial mascot due to ongoing road work. The cartoon is signed “Jessica.”
