Bagley and Telnaes are rarely this far apart politically, but that’s not the factor here: Bagley posted his cartoon prior to SCOTUS hearing the birthright citizen case, and Telnaes posted hers afterwards. It’s the difference between anticipation and realization, though I suppose what looks like an 8-1 or 7-2 victory for the plain-text of the […]
A Nebraska high school news site was ordered by school administrators to remove an editorial cartoon. From Ben Schneider for the Student Press Law Center: In February, Gretna East administrators told editors for Gretna East Media to remove from their website an editorial cartoon by student Aidan McClaren that was critical of ICE. Administrators then […]
Dear Leader will address the nation this evening, and Garth German has picked up on the timing. Apparently, the address will be about Iran, though it might also be about Sharpies or about the judge telling him to stop tearing down the White House. During the Vietnam War, there were people who suggested we just […]
Ramirez captures the administration’s decision-making system, which is that there is no system and it all depends on how Dear Leader is feeling at the moment. It certainly seems like an odd way to run a country, but, then, it would be an odd way to run a casino or an airline or a university, […]
James Hillier, aka Nordacious, has been told to take down some of his political cartoons because they now break the law after the state of Queensland in Australia passed new laws earlier this month. From Catie McLeod at The Guardian: Brisbane artist contacted by police over works that allegedly violate new Queensland hate speech laws […]
Can’t steal the pun without crediting the punster, and it’s also worth pointing out that Dan Thompson had to have drawn this before the court decision came down and extend him some kudos for that, as well, though the trial took five weeks, so there was plenty of time to jump aboard.The YouTube lawyer explained […]
Carmen and Winslow have been struggling lately to decide where they stand on various political matters. In its simplest form, as seen in today’s strip, they boil it down to whether we should feel guilty about being happy in times of misery?Is it naive, or is it wonderful, or can it be both?We shouldn’t be […]

One of the things I like about Australian cartoonists is their willingness to skip the niceties and get to the point. Wilcox notes the colossal series of missteps, lies and blunders Dear Leader has exhibited during his reign and yet he seems to be getting an equally colossal series of free passes.There are two odd […]
With the U.S./Israeli war against Iran going on it seems any cartoon showing the leaders of Israel and the U.S. as partners is being cast as antisemitic. The Washington Free Beacon noticed a political cartoon on Politico’s Cartoon Carousel this week and had their senior investigative reporter Alana Goodman write about it (note: Free Beacon […]
An article by Jennifer Brooks about former Minnesota Star Tribune cartoonist Steve Sack (or here): Sack was the Star Tribune’s editorial cartoonist for 42 years, producing 10,000 cartoons and a Pulitzer Prize in three simple steps: “I read the paper, I crack a joke and I draw a picture.” But by 2022, nerve damage left […]
Let’s start with something to brighten your day, and how nice that Arctic Circle has, by happenstance, a cartoon to go along with what is essentially more analysis than breaking news.You may recall that, some time ago, Disney announced a deal with Sora, the AI slop-maker, under which fans would be permitted to make short […]
Brian Fies, Mom’s Cancer, and Graphic Medicine; 24 years with local political cartoonist Ross Mayfield; and a Lalo Alcaraz 25th Anniversary.Brian Fies “‘Mom’s Cancer’ is one of — if not the most — widely taught work of graphic medicine and has been for as long as the field has been defined,” said Matthew Noe, a […]
Australian cartoonist David Rowe and his outlet the Australian Financail Review (AFR) are coming under fire after they published a cartoon that shows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu controlling U. S. President Donald Trump in the Iran War. The objection is the use of Jewish tropes rather than just accusing the Israeli state. On SkyNews […]
When I said yesterday that the ICE-in-the-airport cartoons were going to draw themselves, I wasn’t kidding. The past 24 hours have been a flood of cartoons of people being assaulted by ICE in airports, mostly for having liquids in their carry-ons. But we’d already chuckled over the concept and timing is everything.I like Granlund’s take, […]
