An easy choice for lead-off, given the serious nature of the issue and the joy of seeing Jones back in the saddle, though he’s far from over his stroke. But if the drawing hand still requires more focus and effort than before, his essay writing is as sharp as ever. Bok offers what I take […]

Clay Jones draws! The Norman Rockwell Comic Strip! Score Bunny by Henrik! The Award Winning Peter Kuper! A Clay Jones Update and New Drawing Clay Jones is making remarkable progress with an attitude that is positive and retaining his sense of humor.

I was just remembering all the time I spent in the principal’s office in high school, and here’s Andertoons pinging those memories again. The only time I was in there for anything serious was when I was caught smoking in the boys’ room (which would make a good song!). The others mostly involved mischief. It […]
Peezy, the pizza rat, is editorial cartoonist Clay Jones‘ dingbat that appears in his political cartoons. Clay is making tremendous progress on his road back from his recent stroke with physical therapy.

The Clay Jones GoFundMe account, set up by fellow editorial cartoonists Kevin Necessary and Jack Ohman to help with medical expenses as Clay recovers from his recent stroke, has reached half of its $100,000 goal.

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists headed by Kevin Necessary and Jack Ohman have organized a GoFundMe page to help Clay Jones recover from his stroke with medical and rehab expenses.

3,080. Eight years, five months and five days. That is how many days in a row that Clay Jones created and posted a political cartoon to GoComics. As Clay posted today “the streak is over.” Not due to any lack of desire on his part. It should be noted that each one of those cartoons […]

It’s not this simple. As Bennett suggests, both sides are getting talking points out of the government shutdown. However, it’s unclear how much each side benefits or is damaged by the situation, in part because of the rhetoric being tossed around and in part because it hasn’t gone on long enough for its effects to […]

International Jewish News reports: Conservative commentators and several Republican officials said the cartoon trafficked […]
Jones is often provocative, slinging purposeful insults, but generally backed by an intelligent political argument. This isn’t a particularly polite cartoon, but he addresses a critical question and, if the Mike Johnson character is ranting incoherently, the elephant cuts right to the nub of the issue: If the GOP has such a reasonable position, why […]
This being a “where do we start?” moment, we’ll start before yesterday’s gathering of the brass with Marty Two Bulls’ reaction to the Secretary of Defense War’s restoration of medals of honor to soldiers who participated in the Wounded Knee Massacre. Granted, Two Bulls is Lakota and so has a particular reason to feel that […]
This Mike Smith piece ran two weeks ago. I don’t like to hang on to a cartoon that long, but, while I liked it, it seemed a bit hysterical, two weeks ago. But last night Trump’s pet court once again reversed a lower court’s ruling and allowed Dear Leader to cancel either $4 billion or […]
