Of Pultizers and Things
For reasons unexplained, the Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning was not awarded in 1923, 1936, 1960, 1965, 1973, and 2021. It may have been because all competitors in those years fell below the standard of excellence fixed by the Pulitzer Board, the governing body that meets twice annually, once to appoint nominating jurors in each […]

CSotD: And now, in other news …
Oh, lord, I hope so. Granted, Pat Hudson is an Aussie, not a Pom, but it’s not like the wretched excess was only present in the UK, where I understand it. It was also throughout the former Commonwealth, where, as Hudson suggests, it’s reasonable. But perhaps even there, enough is enough. Deb Milbrath points […]

CSotD: Der Perfekte Sturmer
Timing is everything in comedy, and today’s Barney & Clyde (WPWG) was excellently timed, coming after the first wave of political ads hit yesterday’s NFL coverage. New Hampshire has shown a relatively steady preference for Democrats, but rarely one-sided, and we’ve not only seen a number of nail-biters in past elections, but have a Republican […]

CSotD: This Changing World
Granted, David Rowe is an Australian and not a proper Brit, but I take some comfort in not being the only person who has had enough of all this, and, after all, she is on his money. IMHO, he’s right on the money as well. I saw a promo for live coverage of the Queen’s […]

CSotD: Putin on the Fritz
Overseas cartoonists seem to be doing a better job than the Americans of covering the changing war in Ukraine, though, while Christopher Weyant isn’t the only Yank to draw Putin in a blowed-up tank, he’s given him a facial expression of comical surprise, and he’s done the best job of converting Russia’s Z from a […]

And In The End – Andy Marlette & The News Journal
I’ve got great news for all you creeps, crooks and conmen of the Panhandle political class. Grab your champagne and pop your corks — the idiot cartoonist is officially leaving the Pensacola News Journal! Yes, editorial cartoonist Andy Marlette announced early this month that he was leaving the paper where he had been employed since […]

CSotD: Self-Owns, Own-Goals and Unforced Errors
Mike Smith (KFS) offers a common though often dubious critique, that the Republicans are flooding us with criticism of the Biden administration without proposing any solutions of their own. I say “dubious” because sometimes an act is so clearly foolish that you only need to point it out; you don’t need to specify the non-foolish […]

CSotD: While You Were Out
The headline I really wanted to use derived from a place Then-Wife worked, in which they printed up some of those pink “While You Were Out” notepads but with the heading “While You Were F****** Off,” which would be accurate for today’s discussion but inappropriate overall. To which I will add, as a dire warning, […]

CSotD: Thank God We’re Surrounded By Water
Ann Telnaes asks a simple question, amid the continuing downpour of corgis and weeping guardsmen and crowns being passed around and royal hats and additional maudlin tributes to someone else’s dead monarch. The answer, of course, is that, yes, we did, and, as noted here previously, we continued for nearly 150 years to view England […]

A September Saturday and Such
We mentioned it earlier this month, but Mark Parisi waited until the actual anniversary of Off The Mark to celebrate. © Mark Parisi Mark lets us in on the in-joke at his Facebook page. GoComics notes the anniversary. The National Book Foundation, presenter of the National Book Awards, today announced that it will award Art […]

CSotD: Oh, Behave Yourselves
The relentless corgi stampede continues, and Dr. MacLeod comments on the lack of imagination and creativity that it represents. I know cartoonists who say they never look at each other’s work because they don’t want to be influenced, which, on the one hand, is like Andy Warhol saying he never looked at Hopper or Dali […]

CSotD: Of Corgi Dogs and Queens
I wasn’t going to feature any of the 4,000 corgi cartoons today, but David Rowe’s is less about the dog than Prince Charles, or, I suppose, King Charles III. I just finished “The Guns of August,” Barbara Tuchman’s classic book about the opening of World War I, and what struck me in particular was that […]
