Bug Martini either works on wicked-tight deadlines or stumbled into this topic just at the right moment: Keith Richards is now writing a children’s book.As mentioned recently, I read to my own kids and have read to my grandkids. And I know the feeling of having a small child come up with a book and […]
The Advocate newspaper in Pictou, N.S. has issued an apology for a cartoon that they ran depicting a Nazi swastika flag flying over the Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Readers found the cartoon offensive.In part the paper’s apology included these lines: The cartoon was simply meant as a satire, or exaggeration, on Harper?s Economic Action Plan […]
From Al Arabiya News: Ghanem was accused at the criminal court in Oran last month of insulting the president, with the prosecution demanding an 18-month prison sentence and a 30,000 dirham (280 euro) fine. The complaint was filed by his own employer, pro-regime daily La Voix de l?Oranie (Voice of the Oran Region), for a […]
New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff was a speaker at SXSW. Huffington Post has posted a on-the-sidewalk discussion on Bob on how cartoons work.
Dave Kellett on what may be the most annoying feature of an increasingly annoying Internet. As it happens, I ranted about LinkedIn almost exactly a year ago. I signed up because everyone said you had to sign up, then realized there was no real point in it and tried to escape, but, like Sheldon’s grandfather, I […]

Nice interview with Dave Kellett and Frederick Schroeder on MSNBC’s The Cycle.
Steve Breen posted the photo below on Facebook with the caption: “Renowned Irish singer and Bono.”In an email, he tells me that the Bono in the photo is an impersonator – a dead-ringer if you ask me.But Dan Piraro, creator of Bizarro, did meet a REAL celebrity. He writes on his blog that while touring […]
I missed this last Friday, but worth noting. You probably already know or have visited Mike Lynch blog – it’s a close cousin blog to The Daily Cartoonist as far as focus, but Mike has more emphasis on magazine cartoons and cartoon history than TDC. It’s on my daily read list. Mike’s been doing the […]
Our local CBS news station did a great profile interview with Salt Lake Tribune editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley.

Today, Dave Kellett and Fred Schroeder will be on MSNBC’s The Cycle to talk about their feature documentary Stripped (3:30ET/12:30PT). On his blog, Dave tells a bit about everything he’s doing to promote the launch of the film on April 1. I’m sure he’s got several goals/objectives, but one that we can all help with […]
Kal cuts through to the core yet again.He uses a complex, multipanel approach here to mock the incoherence and inconsistency of GOP attacks with a clarity others have failed to achieve. And he’s funny without cracking any actual jokes beyond the overall conceit, which, combined with the right art, is very funny indeed.Maybe it’s because […]
Good morning, Rhymes with Orange and, yes, that’s what day it is.I shut off my cell phone last night because it would have reset for Daylight Saving Time and then woken me up at an hour at which I did not wish to wake up. I fretted over the possibility of posting late and then […]
Mr. Fitz is in an arc for Read Across America that focuses on The Forbidden Practice: Reading For Pleasure.As noted often before, most problems with testing and curricula have more to do with Idiocy in High Places than with the actual intent of the reformers, but that’s a bit irrelevant to the kids who get […]
