Syndicated editorial cartoonist Lisa Benson has responded to complaints that a recent cartoon of hers depicting how California is being redistricted is racist. My intent was to show how the redistricting commission set out to draw boundaries which didn’t pander to party affiliation, but ended up giving special consideration to “communities of interest” and protecting […]

When yesterday’s “Little Dog Lost” featured the tortoise reading the first verse of this poem to the tender-hearted dog, I thought to myself, if he’s upset by that, it’s a good thing nobody ever reads the rest of it.And here we are.Old Mother Hubbard is a very funny poem, but I can see why modern […]

Robert Crumb was supposed to be the headlining appearance at the Graphic arts festival in Sydney, but the cartoonist has opted to not go after The Sunday Telegraph described him as a “self-confessed sex pervert” and a “very warped human being.”The newspaper’s story on July 31 featured the headline “Cult genius or filthy weirdo”. In […]

An interesting development in the latest chapter of the Renton Police Department trying to find the identify of the person posting videos mocking them for alleged misconduct. According to KIRO-TV, the police department kind of shopped the case around trying to find a prosecutor’s office that would move an investigation forward.The Prosecutor’s Office said it […]

Today’s Non Sequitur is ridiculous. I mean, you’d need a much deeper casket than that.Wiley will probably get a message saying that, only not joking. Plus some others, since kidding around about death tends to rile people and jokes about how you are buried twice as much.I find that the older I get, the less […]

Scott Stantis marks the start of another school year.Staples will soon begin running their iconic “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” commercials, which not only celebrate the fact that we hate having our children around, but also that stores can count on a nice boost this time of year.I was out of the […]

“Pints and Panels” is an interesting use of the medium that I think works very well for what Emily Sauter is up to.Blogging your life through cartooning has become popular, though today’s Cul de Sac points out a slight flaw in the concept:Putting something boring, dull and uneventful into cartoon format does not transform it […]

The webcomic Ratfist by graphic novelist Doug TenNapel has come to a close at a neat 150 pages. On his blog, Doug says that when he started he knew that it would end at 150 pages (“The only way I could start a webcomic was if I knew it would end”). He also reveals that […]

Fascinating 14 minute video of how Terry Gilliam created the cutout animations featured on the Monty Python.H/t: Justin Thompson (AKA: @MythTickle)

Yesterday I mentioned a bizarre story about the Renton Police Department and city prosecutor trying to uncover the identity of an anonymous cartoonist/animator who was posting stories about alleged misconduct or at least mocking the department. The police were unwilling to respond to the reporter when first contact, but as the story has gone viral, […]

Today’s La Cucaracha must be provoking some hearty laughter in Lalo Alcaraz’s hometown of Los Angeles.It used to be that the Wall Street Journal was noted in the industry for an editorial page filled with raging, rightwing opinion pieces based on information clearly contradicted in its own pages by its own independent news department. (I […]
