Chappatte had the home field advantage in Davos and anticipated Trump’s disruptive arrival with this cartoon for Le Temps of Geneva, and, though it ran Wednesday morning, he included specific elements — in particular the NATO emblem — that came up in Trump’s speech.I use the term “speech” guardedly. I got in the car yesterday […]
Other cartoonists have suggested a “What would you say?” scenario over how Americans would be outraged if another country were to seize our president the way we grabbed Maduro, but Prickly City, as a strip, has the real estate to ask the question and propose a possible answer.And, as a strip, it has the ability […]
Madam & Eve has been having fun with Trump’s expansionist ambitions, and why not? As noted before, they have no oil for him to covet and, thanks to his gullible acceptance of toxic, one-sided fables, he’s opened the door to accept a group of faux-refugees that will relieve South Africa of their whinging.But, as the […]
Creating a multi-panel, multi-gag comic poses an obvious problem: You have to be insightful with each panel, and most cartoonists do well to produce five in a row when they’re producing a single comic each day without trying to tie them all into a specific theme.McFadden is lucky while the rest of us are not, […]
The world views with horror the killing of Renee Good, but Wilcox expands upon its significance by pointing out Dear Leader’s threats against Iran if it uses violence against demonstrators there. She has logic on her side in pointing out the hypocrisy, both in the shooting itself and in the government’s mullah-like denunciations of the […]
Let’s start with this depressing cartoon from Jonesy. It might be funny if it were some kind of exaggeration, but it functions as an editorial cartoon that, as editorial cartoons can do, elicits a grim smile of recognition.The speed with which AI is taking over everything has made it impossible for the greater society to […]
Matt Lubchansky comments on the bizarre but irresistible foolishness happening on Twitter, which, if you missed it, is more or less encapsulated in the cartoon, which is only slightly more ridiculous than the reality.To summarize, Bret Stephens is a conservative columnist at the NYTimes, apparently brought in to annoy and provoke readers, or, put another […]
Jimmy Margulies explains today’s lack of any particular theme. Dear Leader has become so erratic that it’s possible to blend the political with the comical and the only real problem is that he’s got access to the launch codes.We’ve managed to bring Great Truth to that cynical National Lampoon parody of Desiderata:You are a fluke […]
Damien Glez offers a clever variation on a too-common visual gag, proving that there’s no cliche that can’t be revitalized, and if plastic bags had a different style of handle or were more rigid, this wouldn’t work at all.Which is sort of a backhanded way of explaining why it does.Our co-op is phasing out plastic […]
Let’s kick off the day with something silly, as Betty brings a needed word into being.It’s a little unfair to real chefs, but, then again, real chefs are only a subset of people who want the waiters to call them “Chef” instead of “Hey You” or, god forbid, “Dave.”And this tip to people who take […]
Clay Jones gives the best response to the decision of Israel to follow Dear Leader’s suggestion, re-casting António Moreira’s cartoon of a Netanyahu dog leading a blind Trump, for which two cartoonists who had nothing to do with it were fired.And the editor who approved it was … well, we don’t know, because the NYTimes […]
