(Sherman’s Lagoon) (Rudy Park)And so it begins. Time for the Baby Boomers to shuffle off this mortal coil and let Gen X take the spotlight, poor bastards.Sherman makes the cultural references while Rudy takes the viewpoint and it’s music to my weary old ears. Now we can just f-f-f-f-fade away. It’s really happening and I know that […]
Okay, one political piece, and only because Bad Reporter is consistently silly, even when he’s right on. It is beyond me how anybody can put Omarosa on his staff and then throw a term like “lightweight” at another woman, or another man, or a piece of furniture.But I did notice that, while there were multiple signatures […]
Steve Sack gets the last word on this, or, at least, the last word here.As I suspected, the pages now are full of Roy Moore on his horse and Trump being upset. I’m pleased to see the hoopla, because I think the real significance of the election was that it will encourage people to get […]
One advantage of living in Australia is that it’s already tomorrow, so David Rowe got a jump on his American colleagues, who are (as I write this at 5:25 AM EST) just pouring their first cups of coffee.Though I see the NY Daily News also picked up on the irresistable straightline Moore handed everyone. I […]
Against all past tendencies around here, I’m once more highlighting a bland restatement cartoon, this time the other Tom, the Tomorrow one.I still think things have swung so far out of balance that simply restating what people say fails to capture the level of dysfunction, but on this topic, there is an utter cluelessness that, […]
Arlo & Janis set the mood for this morning’s nearly entirely non-political posting. I’m giving myself some practical gifts this year, like new tires, and one of them was even a holiday surprise, because I didn’t expect my computer to start falling apart.But I’m with Arlo, and I think it’s Scroogey to balance your budget by […]
It’s all laid out in today’s Candorville.I started to say that I think a lot of guys are going through this mental inventory, but, in light of that last panel, let me switch it to “I hope a lot of guys are going through this mental inventory.”We all ought to be.We should be reassessing our […]
There’s a lot going on in the world, but I’m devoting today to stuff that hit me personally.For instance, Jeff Stahler addresses something that has occurred to me, because this year (2017) we’re still on the old tax system but next year, we go to the new, improved system and the year after that they […]
I’m starting with Gary Clement’s commentary on the Trump administration’s apparent decision to finish the GOP’s efforts under George W. to screw up the entire Middle East.Emphasis on “apparent,” which is why I like the joyous, childish cannonball image he uses. As Kevin pointed out in the comments yesterday, Trump’s Evangelical base sees the move as […]
I’m assuming that, by the time many of you read this, Al Franken will have resigned his Senate seat, and I’m posting Steve Sack’s take for two reasons:One is that he’s the cartoonist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and thus has standing to criticize his home state’s senator.The other is that he goes after the “innocent […]
You may have already seen the latest from Ann Telnaes, because cartoonists have been sharing it all over the Interwebs.There’s nothing to add, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t stir thoughts, a large part of which is that cartoonists have been chasing their tails for weeks trying to comment on the #METOO movement and subsequent […]
I don’t know if today’s Pooch Cafe would have cracked me up quite so much if I hadn’t just seen the news that Quentin Tarantino is considering directing a Star Trek movie.I loved “Pulp Fiction” because it was totally absurd and fun and often clever, particularly the Jules/Vincent conversations, but I haven’t liked much of […]
Some short takes to avoid the major issues for a bit, and we’ll start with Dog Eat Doug because it did such a good job of puzzling me until the final panel.And, as I’ve said before, one of the strengths of this feature is that Doug remains a baby and Sophie is the one endowed […]
Betty has been touring Italy for the past month and a half, longer if you include all their preparation for the trip, but today there is a pause in the travelogue for a shot at the volks back home.Even on holiday on the other side of the globe and more than 2,000 years in the […]
Jeff Danziger speaks for me. I refuse to rant today. Why bother?This administration has been a series of “I told you so” moments, and I’ve got nothing to add to this latest example, except that I hope one day we see major bills once more in which some Republicans and some Democrats vote in favor […]
