Marty Two-Bulls has standing to comment on the incident at the Lincoln Memorial, or maybe he should recuse himself, I’m not sure which.The Rashomon element of this event is incredibly strong, with plenty of blame and a bit of unfortunate timing and a huge element of “Where were the grown ups?” not only in terms […]
Juxtaposition of the Day (Prickly City) (Ann Telnaes)Bring it on, Dear Leader.Scott Stantis, who wasn’t at the Satire Symposium but whose name came up, and Ann Telnaes, who was at work on the above piece even as things went on around her, both pull the nose of our would-be dictator. Let’s point out that Hustler v […]
Joy of Tech hit me at a good moment with this one, because I generally decline opportunities to be spammed, though more politely than this fellow. But, of course, it wouldn’t be funny if he didn’t explode.However, I nearly exploded yesterday, as I was followed around the grocery store by a woman determined to tell […]

Ruben Bolling has been awarded the Herblock Prize for 2017.I’m strongly on record as saying “Plaques are for Haques” and that awards are for people who need awards. I’ve also pointed out that Pulitzer winners get RIFed just like any other newsroom denizen who has been around long enough to have become expensive.But the Herblock […]
Amid a torrent of mediocre cartoons about security at the Sochi Olympics and predictably partisan back-and-forth views of tonight’s State of the Union (all of which, in both categories, seem to be hoping for an I-told-you-so disaster), comes this quiet, pointed commentary from Tom Tomorrow.Not only does it stand out because everyone else seems to […]
Sunday seemed like the right day to tackle (heh) the issue of racist names, or at least one in particular.It’s a sort of evergreen issue, so some of these cartoons are not from today or even the past week, which is how editorial cartoons are generally handled here. But none of the arguments are new […]
