Ramirez captures the administration’s decision-making system, which is that there is no system and it all depends on how Dear Leader is feeling at the moment. It certainly seems like an odd way to run a country, but, then, it would be an odd way to run a casino or an airline or a university, […]

Whoops. I said the W word, and this isn’t a war. It’s a Special Operation. We’re in a world of euphemistic joy and it’s up to all of us to cooperate with Dear Leader and make happy talk. He has excellent reasons for the decisions he makes and adapts them as needed to make them […]

Yesterday he devoted his Patreon entry to the subject. ICE Out Comics were initiated by Minnesota cartoonists K. Woodman-Maynard (Tuck Everlasting GN), Trung Le Nguyen (Angelica […]
Poor Pam! She wanted to come across as a really tough loyalist, but she ran into too many Julie Browns. Obviously, one of them was Julie K. Brown, who is to Jeffrey Epstein as Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, and so the Attorney General faced clear evidence that Something Wasn’t Right.But when she went […]
I don’t know that Loper has pinned down the entire Bad Bunny controversey, but he made me laugh and that’s a good thing.

In January, the Washington Post spiked a cartoon by Pulitzer Prize–winning Ann Telnaes that criticized the supplicant attitude displayed by the paper’s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, towards Donald Trump … She promptly resigned after the incident, the first time one of her pieces had been rejected over its subject. For 31 years, KAL contributed his […]
Parodies of official seals are a standard tool in the cartoonist’s magic box, but they can be hit-or-miss. Boris nails this one largely because the purpose of the FCC is so at odds with its current execution, so the irony of its malfeasance is striking and mockery of it is darkly humorous.Today’s headline is a […]
