Many of Kreider's comics during the 2000s addressed issues in American politics from a point of view harshly critical of the George W. Bush administration.[4] He is among the artists featured in Attitude 2: The New Subversive Alternative Cartoonists, edited by Ted Rall (2004).[1] Kreider also received coverage in The New York Times in 2006 for his defense of Pluto as a planet before and after its demotion to planetoid.[5][1]

A collection of essays and cartoons, We Learn Nothing, was published in 2012.[4]
