Andrews McMeel has released another Dilbert collection by Scott Adams’s. “I Can’t Remember If We’re Cheap or Smart (Dilbert Collections)” I admit, I’m not sure what that title means, but regardless, inside the cover is 205 pages of the zany cubicle humor that is Dilbert.The book is a recent release, but the selected strips inside […]
When Scott Stantis posted a link to his latest ChiTrib cartoon on Facebook yesterday, I commented that he needs to save this one for his portfolio. It is a keeper.Yes, I know, I just went all fanboy on him the other day, and here he is again already. But the blog is called “Comic Strip of […]
Clay Bennett on the shift under way in the global economy. I’m not in the least surprised at what is happening. I just wonder if he’s being sarcastic or making a prediction?I guess I’m surprised at how easily it’s all happening. I remember when jobs went from the Northeast to the Southeast because of the […]
Drew Litton is drawing a 24 part comic entitled “Too Many Christmas Cookies”. He’s already at part 7. Ends on Christmas.
From the venerable fake news source: “Taylor and Jim were first spotted canoodling in a SoHo bar last night, and we were able to confirm today that the two are indeed an item,” Gawker contributor Janice Reynolds wrote of the relationship between the nearly 23-year-old singer-songwriter and the 67-year-old syndicated cartoonist, nicknaming the couple “Tayvis.”
Keith Knight gets it. Better than that, he spreads it.Keefe brands himself as a hipster in his cartoons, lightly moving through the social world, observing it with a sly and skeptical eye, partially immersed in trends and partially watching from the sidelines, but he’s also a son, a sibling, a husband, a neighbor, a father, […]
I’m traveling this week for business. Blogging to be light and intermittent through Friday. -Alan
Kevin Kallaugher with a pithy analysis of the discussions thus far. He’s got a point, but I’m not sure where we go with it, mostly because the “Where’s the meat?” questions remain largely at least uncovered if not unanswered.For instance, I’ve heard so many versions of “close the loopholes” and “eliminate deductions” that I’m not […]
I have a couple of other Foxtrot collections on my bookshelf. I’ve always liked Bill Amends work and was sad when it was announced he was dropping the strip to be Sunday only back in 2006. “Jasotron: 2012: A FoxTrot Collection” is a collection of his strips that ran in 2012.
I have very little to say about today’s Pearls Before Swine except that it put me on the floor.Of course, the way to score with readers is to send up a common frustration, and spending a session in Touch-Tone Hell is a common frustration that the development of Voice Prompt Hell has done very little […]
Poor Fox News.First, they lost the election, to the chagrin of their staff and in particular, to the raging, delusional disbelief of Karl Rove, which moment, by the way, was funnier than anything you’re going to see here. And which resulted in the brass sending down instructions to tell Karl, as well as swami Dick […]
A Belgium judge has ruled that the 1920’s comic book Tintin in the Congo is not racist but “gentle and candid humour.” [The Plaintiff] said the book should be banned in Belgium, which has a history of colonial aggression, exploitation and violence in the Congo, because of the number of damaging black stereotypes. He said […]
A follow up to the Mr. Burns Endorses Mitt Romney video:
From the Washington Post: Long reluctant to charge for online content, the newspaper is close to a decision to introduce digital subscriptions and charge online readers once they surpass a certain number of articles or multimedia features a month, the person said. Access to the home page and section fronts would not be limited. The […]
There are several alternative cartoonists who could take four or a dozen panels to explain how little your employer cares about you.And then Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich do it in a single-panel Real Life Adventures cartoon. I’ve been through this scenario. When I hired on with a paper owned by a division of Dow Jones back […]
