F’rinstance, Lee Judge (KFS) makes a pun out of Cost of Living Allowance and cola-as-in-soft-drink, but that’s […]

CSotD: Oh, What a Lovely War!
Michael Ramirez (Creators) paints as good a picture of our current situation as anyone. He’s not the first political cartoonist to depict Moses coming down from Mt Sinai to find his people in a state of idolatry, but he is more explicit in labeling their idol as conspiracies and bull and tying the delusion into […]

CSotD: Pressing a few points
First Dog on the Moon touches on several points, beginning with how stories get assigned, but you’ll have to go here to read the whole thing Most newsroom people at daily papers work from just after lunch until roughly 9 pm or so, which means that, for the most part, they only know each other, […]

CSotD: 30 years ago – Anita Hill
Thirty years ago, cartoonist reactions to Anita Hill’s testimony in Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings began to fill the editorial pages, and Tony Auth begins our flashback with this scene-setter.

CSotD: Happy No Mail and the Bank’s Closed Day
Prickly City (AMS) was my first reminder that the post office and banks will be closed today. Winslow and Carmen are arguing over what to call the thing, but let’s start by pointing out that most workers — except for letter carriers, teachers and bank tellers — won’t be getting the day off. Not only […]
