There’s an abundance of cartoons going around based on Melania Trump’s statement in which she denied a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and called for public testimony from his victims. Huck satirizes her famous green raincoat to ask a central question, and it’s obvious from the other cartoonists that their answer is “No.” I wish it […]
In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a national strike going on today to protest ICE, with the slogan “No work, No school, No shopping,” and Matt Davies suggests some alternatives: A quiet walk on the beach alone, communing with nature privately in the forest or skipping a movie along with everybody else.Melania: Twenty Days to […]
This is going to be a very random day, and I’m starting by acknowledging Paul Berge’s commentary on a TV station that fired its meteorologist over an anti-Musk posting she had on her personal Instagram page. Firing her was an overreaction, but we’re likely to see a lot of similar overreactions over the next four […]
Kieran Meehan couldn’t have known how funny today’s Pros and Cons (KFS) would be when it hit, or, at least, how timely.We’ve had “news” that someone was caught throwing out ballots, only it turned out he was just discarding a sheet of instructions.And then we had “news” that dead people were voting in Michigan, only […]
Apparently, Minnesota is where we’re at in New Hampshire, because this Steve Sack (Star-Tribune) cartoon pretty much sums up our world, too.Despite the horrors that surround us politically and socially, the leaves are lovely, which is almost, as the fellow here says, enough to send you into an Anne Frankian optimistic view of most people […]
Sheldon (independent) pretty well sums up the hazards of knowing what’s going on in the world, and the last two or three days have been astonishingly toxic and depressing.I woke up this morning and found my newsfeeds full of people trying to decide how they should respond to the president and his wife testing positive […]
I wasn’t sure whether to start or end with Matt Wuerker‘s cartoon, but I think it does serve to set the scene as well as to wrap it up.The Trump Whirlwind is a brilliant piece of graphic personification, but let me belabor the storm metaphor for a moment, because, as we watch Louisiana dig out […]
This Phil Hands piece is a good opener on a day when a power failure has delayed the process. It had nothing to do with weather but the lack of power is lack of heat in the house, which puts me in the mood.The police in Hands’ home base of Madison are, I suppose, right […]
“This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning.” — Winston Churchill, Nov. 10, 1942Ann Telnaes reflects my own mood at the moment: He’s completely hemmed in, but it hasn’t stopped him from tweeting.I’ll confess that, when Nixon was up against […]
