CSotD: They’re here for the socialists
Couldn’t decide whether to start or end with Scott Stantis‘ take, but I don’t suppose it much matters.

Then they came for the trade […]

CSotD: Cognitive Testing
There’s a whole lot of mental insufficiency out there, and this Clay Bennett cartoon was filed well before Chris Wallace’s astonishing, dismaying interview with the president (transcript here, video clips everywhere). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test is neither an IQ test nor a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory but basically a quick 10-minute test to see […]

It’s a Mixed-Up, Muddled-Up, Shook-Up World

CSotD: Come sit right back and you’ll hear a tale …
(Dave Granlund) (Tom Toles) (Clay Bennett) They don’t often cooperate like this. Dave Granlund offers a rejoinder to the conservative cartoonists who have accused Biden of refusing to come out and fight, and … … here are the torpedoes.

CSotD: Indeed, the jokes wrote themselves
Yesterday, I predicted that the memes about Ivanka’s Goya ad would come faster than the cartoons. I was wrong, and, while some were better than others, I was impressed with the rapidity with which the professional commentaries appeared. I don’t think that’s a trade-off. My experience is that the cartoonists who drift in a few […]

CSotD: The Jokes, they write themselves
Ivanka Trump is out to destroy political cartoonists, though Pat Bagley is willing to rise to the job of bailing water with a pitchfork. Ivanka’s first move was to accept a job promoting the idea that, if you are unemployed, what you should do to solve your problem is get a job. And, if you […]

Yes, it’s Bastille Day, and Arlo & Janis are celebrating in their backyard, which is where everyone celebrates these days. However, Arlo treads a fine line in saying “No one actually knows” if French fries were invented in Belgium, because the Belgians not only know but if this lockdown ever eases up, you can go […]

CSotD: Monday Roundup
Not sure I should lead with Joe Heller’s reminder. I don’t want people freaking out and leaving before they’re enjoyed my pearls of wisdom. Still, the new, improved tax deadline is Wednesday, so if you haven’t filed yet, you’d better get hopping. I was just re-reading a Sunday business feature I wrote years ago about […]
