This being Easter Monday, my jaunt through the cartoons was quick, with most cartoonists apparently pausing for the holiday, which I understand. But Ed Wexler leapt upon Dear Leader’s profane, hostile, unhinged social media posting at least enough to point out how undignified the F-bomb was.It’s fair to note that Trump is not the only […]
Let’s start with something to brighten your day, and how nice that Arctic Circle has, by happenstance, a cartoon to go along with what is essentially more analysis than breaking news.You may recall that, some time ago, Disney announced a deal with Sora, the AI slop-maker, under which fans would be permitted to make short […]
Riddell suggests that Fearless Leader doesn’t actually know where he’s headed or what he’s doing. It’s an interesting addition to other cartoons that have featured a maze, because we’ve even seen leaders with military experience and well-defined goals blunder into a labyrinth when they try their hands at asymmetric warfare.It’s often said that generals try […]
I woke up in the mood for a Humpday this morning, until I started going through the cartoons and realized there were more laughs in the rest of the paper. Granted, it’s dark humor, but dark humor is how you get through dark times, as the cultures of many repressed peoples attest.I got a laff, […]
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 […]
Kristi Noem’s sudden fall from grace called for some quick reactions from cartoonists and I think they acquitted themselves well as a group. Not every take was brilliant, but several were quite good, particularly from a cold start. I’m sure there will be some others landing in the next day or two, but you snooze, […]
This isn’t a Juxtaposition of the Day because it’s a Juxtaposition of 23 Years. Bramhall’s is current, Englehart’s ran back when we went into Iraq in 2003 with the same goal of stopping terror. Both cartoons comment on the foolishness of the effort, but Bramhall focuses on the president who blundered into a hopeless maze, […]
Nice timing on today’s Doonesbury, which was done some time ago but appears just as Dear Leader demonstrates his peacekeeping skills as well as his need for praise.Among editorial cartoonists, it was interesting to see who leapt into the fray and who did not. I recognize that some cartoonists may not be allowed to break […]
President Donald Trump gives his State of the Union address tonight at 9 pm Eastern, one reason I miss living in Colorado, where news and sports came on at a decent hour. Winslow is right: 57% of Americans responding to a NPR/PBS News/Marist poll rate the State of the Union as poor, with the 43% […]
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’m not really introducing a new thing called “Follow-Up Friday,” but we seem to have a lot of topics hanging around, but getting new spin.I’ve seen a meme that mocks people who said they couldn’t understand Bad Bunny’s Spanish, saying that the Epstein Files are in English and people can’t seem to understand them, either. […]
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. Certainly, in the days after the Super Bowl, I’ve seen lots of praise and support for Bad Bunny’s half time show and only general whining from supporters of the Kid Rock alternate […]
Bennett’s commentary on Dear Leader’s interference with the election process is particularly apt, because, like the destruction of the East Wing of the White House, it has no legislative backing, came with no warning and represents an ego that has gone completely off the rails.It’s hardly the first indication that Trump is slipping a cog, […]
As DD Degg reported the other day, the ridiculously deep cuts at the Washington Post are making most observers feel that either Jeff Bezos is a raving incompetent or he has lost interest in the toy he bought and never quite figured out. Goris is far from the only one to capitalize on the slogan […]
Anderson nails our current situation well in his latest piece, and addresses a matter that has bothered me for several years.As you can see from his sig, Ratt introduced the concept six years ago. I liked it then, but I couldn’t take the warning literally. It’s an oversimplification to say our Civil War was fought […]
