The Pain – When Will It End?

''The Pain – When Will It End?'' is a cartoon drawn by Tim Kreider (born February 25, 1967) from 1994 until June 8, 2009 (with sporadic updates through early 2013). It was self-published until it began running weekly in the ''Baltimore City Paper'' in 1997. It was later picked up by the ''Jackson Planet Weekly'' and ''The Indy in Bloomington-Normal'', Illinois. Since September 2000, it is also a webcomic.

Many of Kreider's comics during the 2000s addressed issues in American politics from a point of view harshly critical of the Presidency of George W. Bush. He is among the artists featured in ''Attitude 2: The New Subversive Alternative Cartoonists'', edited by Ted Rall (2004). In 2006, ''The New York Times'' printed his defense of Pluto as a planet before and after its demotion to dwarf planet.

Anthology books include ''The Pain – When Will It End?'' (May 2004), ''Why Do They Kill Me?'' (May 2005) and ''Twilight of the Assholes: Cartoons & Essays 2005–2009 '' (February 2011). A limited edition collection, ''Fuck Them All'', was published in September 2004 and a collection of essays and cartoons, ''We Learn Nothing'', in 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
