10 Years of Shine On Cartoons

January 27, 2026 | Member Submitted

Beloved for their wry humor and Tahoe/Truckee inside jokes, Shine On cartoons have delighted Moonshine Ink‘s readers for 10 years. Part humor, part local history, they trace the community’s evolving conversations through Mike English’s tongue-in-cheek lens — from snowstorms and mountain fashion to bears, berms, roundabouts, housing struggles, and the small absurdities that unite us. Moonshine collected the best of the best into a book titled Potholes and Powder Days, a comprehensive anthology of laughter medicine. This anthology is not just good medicine; it also supports local journalism. Your purchase helps keep independent reporting alive.
