CSotD: Gender issues
I saw Greg Kearney’s cartoon before I heard the news that someone is petitioning the Supreme Court to declare draft registration unconstitutional. Which it is, but the Biden administration is asking the Court not to take a second look until Congress has had a chance to review the matter. Apparently, they’re waiting for Joe Manchin […]

CagleCartoons Dips Toe Into the NFT Market
Daryl Cagle, this weekend, is entering the world of cryptocurrency. I’m a newspaper editorial cartoonist. The decline of newspapers has dragged my profession down … Cartoonists are on the front lines of journalism — but we struggle to pay the rent. Daryl anticipates a new revenue source for cartoonists. Crazy sales figures and global media […]

The alternative news site OB Rag, which serves the Ocean Beach area of San Diego, took a San Diego Union-Tribune cartoon by Steve Breen, changed it dramatically, and then posted it on their website. The site showed their altered version under the heading “We Added Some Color to Steve Breen’s Pro-War Editorial Cartoon”: Granted they […]

The Utah congressional delegation (Sens. Mitt Romney and Mike Lee and Reps. Blake Moore, Chris Stewart and John Curtis) made it plain they are not happy with a Pat Bagley cartoon that poked at fellow Utah Congressman Burgess Owens. Pat compared Rep. Owens recent comments at the U.S. southern border to remarks from the past. […]

CSotD: Withdrawal pains
Let’s start by saying it could be worse: This isn’t a cartoon but a classic illustration by Elizabeth Butler of the British army withdrawing from Afghanistan in 1842. The march to Jalalabad began with 4,000 soldiers and 12,000 civilian supporters, but was reduced to badly wounded ass’t surgeon William Brydon, alone on a pony that […]

Jon Penfold Folds, Lays Down His Pen
I’m hanging up my hat. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say, I’m putting down my pen. Either way, I have decided to retire. But not from this column. Don’t worry about that. I still plan on contributing rants, musings, guidance and advice on the topic of writing for the foreseeable future. No, […]

CSotD: Spinning out of control
This Steve Kelley (Creators) comic provoked some back-and-forth on Facebook, and let me start off by giving Kelley props for responding. Too many cartoonists set up Facebook and Twitter pages and then leave them untended. Either join the conversation or, if all you want is publicity, buy an ad. But here’s what matters, and it […]

CSotD: A Break in the Doom
This K Chronicles brought me back to my (second) senior year in college, when my wife and I canceled our Chicago paper because it was such a downer. We still got the South Bend Tribune, whose editorial page was also depressing but which at least was not a compendium of murders. Ignoring problems doesn’t make […]

CSotD: A Nation of Bland Restatements
Suddenly, there’s a lot going on, so we’ll let Tom Tomorrow start us off with the equivalent of the five-minute NPR news wrap-up at the top of the hour before we dig into any details. The bland-restatement format used in This Modern World and some other altie comics tends to fall flat in good times […]

CSotD: Childish Gambits
I can counter-quote Mr. Boffo: You coulda had class. You coulda been a political commentator. You coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what you are, let’s face it. Being a grown up ruins everything. Juxtaposition of the Day (The Argyle Sweater – AMS) (Too Much Coffee Man – AMS) F’rinstance, I’ll admit […]

CSotD: Overthinking the Funnies
Today’s Zits (KFS) stopped me in my tracks, not because it’s funny, which it is, but because my first response after that dissolved into uncertainty: What would you — as Jeremy and his buds — play for a dance at a retirement community? First of all, not the stuff your parents always have on the […]

CSotD: C’est le weekend
Wasn’t sure where to start today, but once the headline suggested itself, it became obvious this Pearls Before Swine (AMS) was the obvious opener, since Franglais gives editors the collywobbles. Regular readers know my opinion that about 97% of people who obsess over grammatical rules cannot write their names in the dirt with a stick, […]
