To start with, nobody takes an MRI as part of a routine physical. I have no idea how an MRI could be “perfect,” since every body is different and at least has its own peculiarities if not its own flaws, but they don’t just give you one for the heck of it, any more than […]
The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) is holding its annual convention this weekend and, unlike previous recent gatherings our own Mike Peterson is not reporting from the convention floor this year. So we are relying on the cartoonists’ social media platforms to inform us of what is happening. Courtesy of AAEC President Marc Murphy‘s […]

President Trump’s bizarre answer to Christine Welker’s question on Meet The Press continues to draw criticism and ridicule.

It is looking more and more like the February 2, 2025 will be the last Candorville distributed to print newspapers. Stars and Stripes weekend edition for February 7, 2025 has been issued and the comics section does not include Candorville. The Stars and Stripes Sunday Comics is a strange animal.

I could launch a separate blog titled “Cartoon Maps,” given the number of cartoonists who have reimagined the Western Hemisphere according to Trump. Some were pretty good, some were not. But Bob Englehart went for simplicity rather than cleverness, and wins for going to the heart of the matter and pointing out the arrogant jingoism […]
Our theme starts with today’s Baby Blues (AMS). My first impression was that it was another “overscheduled kids” gag, which is an okay issue in general but has been done and overdone and doesn’t make me laugh anymore.So I flipped past, but then “Wait till your dad gets home” pinged my brain and I went […]
Australian cartoonist Warren Brown has produced my favorite attempted-assassination cartoon so far and I recognize that there’s something twisted about having a “favorite attempted-assassination cartoon.”But he’s right that, while the nicked ear is a calamity that gives Trump the chance to play victim and to divert attention from the ghastly proposals of Project 2025 that […]
