Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Tristan!
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Tristan
Age: 6
Breed: Terrier mix
Favorite Activity: Shredding open cardboard boxes for treats inside
Worst/Best Moment: Unelected, unofficial “Mayor of Mackworth Island” (Portland, Maine)
RJ draws several editorial cartoons each week for his substack, e pluribus cartoonum, and for Roll Call, the newspaper of Congress and Capitol Hill. His work is widely syndicated to print newspapers by Cagle Cartoons.






If Tristan were brown, he would look exactly like the dog I grew up with. I find Terrier mixes to be incredibly loving dogs. My dog died when I was 14 and I cried my eyes out for weeks.
what a darling animal !
