I could do an entire day of cartoons in which Trump and Putin discuss the Ukraine war while Zelenskyy remains out of the conversation. It seems nobody in the world thinks it’s fair or right for the invader and an outside party to determine some other nation’s territory and sovereignty.I like Royaards’ piece because he’s […]
Pajama Diaries is one of the strips that I probably feature too often: Either you’ve figured out that you should be reading it on your own or you never will, and if you’ve decided you don’t like it, you’re likely sick of seeing it here. However, Terri Libenson approaches topics that other cartoonists have also […]
Cantor was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. … Eric Cantor was as dead as a door-nail. Even conservatives like Glenn McCoy acknowledged it, though the cartoon doesn’t make it entirely clear whether […]
I’ll admit there are some cartoonists on each edge of the two lunatic fringes that I don’t even bother to follow, but it is a small and clearly crackpot group. I still see plenty of off-target takes. So when an issue draws a raft of 7-out-of-10-star commentary, that in itself is a good thing.Plus, it […]
During my year-long sojourn in talk radio, I learned many things, one of which was that you are not supposed to say “And we’re back!” every time you come out of a commercial break.But I’m live blogging again, so we’re back, and I’m glad most of you behaved while I was on the road. Some of […]
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost […]
Boswell: “So, sir, you laugh at schemes of political improvement?”Johnson: “Why, sir, most schemes of political improvement are very laughable things.” The Republican Party got a large dose of bad news this week, and Mike Luckovich is one of several cartoonists to comment on it.The GOP actually got a large dose of bad news in […]
There have been a lot of responses to the NRA’s response to the Newtown shootings, and it’s been interesting to see both liberal and conservative cartoonists reject the group’s reasoning. Predictably, some on the left are in the “Guns Are Inherently Bad” camp, and their semi-hysterical response really only feeds the fear of an already-paranoid segment […]
I like this Tony Auth panel, because it’s more about what happened than it is about spiking the football.The Republicans badly misjudged the country. It wasn’t a landslide, but it was a clear loss and, yeah, they missed the bus, and I don’t think it’s coming back. For the Republican Party, and conservatives in general, […]
