I choose “Neither.” There’s a lot of news today, but it’s extensions of yesterday’s news and I had enough of that yesterday. Though, to contradict this cartoon, there are politicians trying to do something to stop it, but their legal cases are all pending at the moment, and it’s not clear that Dear Leader has […]
He’s only a bird in a gilded cage, Rowe says, but it’s a cage of his own devise, and while, as the dove of peace says, we’ve heard it all before, the telling aspect is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action he uses as a paper at the bottom of that cage.You don’t have to […]
A simple cartoon can contain a lot of different messages, and Derenne doesn’t tell the reader what to think. She just gives us a visual poke to get the thinking process started.First of all, Trump does peddle a lot of fake news, whether it’s deliberate lies or cockamamie theorizing. By this time, we ought to […]
This is a really good cartoon. Bennett has excellent artistic skills and a keen eye for depicting frustrated despair, which he make a recurring motif in his work. He’s even color-coded his firefighters with red and blue clothes under their bunker gear.The problem is that this shouldn’t be an evergreen — a cartoon that could […]
Wilcox sums it all up. Thanks for coming and don’t forget to tip your wait staff.However, there are several ways of explaining where we’re at, though the most cogent seem to come from overseas. Perhaps a little distance helps with the focus. Whether it works that way, clicking those links to see where the cartoonists […]
By now you should have three partridges in pear trees, four calling birds and three French hens, or at least three notices from UPS saying they will be delivered tomorrow and will require signatures, in which case you should keep your eyes open because they’ll be left on the porch in the snow.Meanwhile, we’re getting […]
First, a look at a pair of Labor Day cartoons that didn’t make deadline yesterday, and, yes, he really has complained about people taking Juneteenth and other federal holidays off. Granted, we don’t really know if he played golf yesterday, because the photos they posted to show he isn’t dead were from a game a […]
Our little slapfight continues and the world — in this case, Ireland — watches with a combination of fascination and detachment, realizing that they dare not be too detached because of the global stakes at risk and they shouldn’t be too fascinated because it’s degrading to watch it like an episode of Jersey Shore.Though here […]
I don’t necessarily admire Amelia’s lack of patience or occasionally unpleasant ways of expressing displeasure, but I agree that it’s tough watching geniuses craft the voice of a generation.There’s room for debate and disagreement, of course. That’s been a fundamental part of democracy since the days of Athens. Whamond raises a good current example: I’m […]
There are all sorts of important political issues to address, but there are also a lot of leftover Thanksgiving political cartoons, and it’s too late to keep arguing over the election because that die has been cast. So here’s a Jimmy Craig cartoon which is also about Thanksgiving but made me smile.I didn’t use my […]
Ian Boothby is right: Paying attention to what’s going on is not good for you. Unfortunately, failure to pay attention to what’s going on is even worse for everybody in the long run.And while there may be some dark satisfaction in schadenfreude, hoping for people to realize what they’ve wrought won’t stop what they’ve wrought […]
