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.

[1][2] It was later picked up by the Jackson Planet Weekly and The Indy in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois.

[3][4] 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.

[4] He is among the artists featured in Attitude 2: The New Subversive Alternative Cartoonists, edited by Ted Rall (2004).
