Anderson tells the story economically and all but wordlessly. We assume that whatever Dear Leader is saying doesn’t count as actual dialogue, and the donkey’s smile is so eloquent that the blanket on his back was unnecessary. We all know what he’s hee-hawing about. It was, to be sure, a first-class ass kicking, and Matson […]
/ European Cartoon Award has announced their long list of 30 cartoonists who are in the running for their annual award to “honor the most provocative, insightful, and impactful cartoons of the year.” The contest received over 400 entries from 30 different countries. They will announce the short list prior to their annual ECA Cartoons Day […]
It’s a good day to round up a few topics that have been waiting for a good day to be rounded up. BTW, some people solve this rebus immediately while others get hung up trying to be too specific about the image in the middle. Don’t overthink it. Alcaraz declines to knuckle under. It would […]
Ohman’s exaggerating, at least for the moment. There’s no telling how deep into the bag of distractions Dear Leader is willing to reach if this Epstein business doesn’t go away, and, after all, he did send a couple of nuclear subs to lurk off Russia’s coast. The first question is whether these “nuclear” subs are […]
I wonder if Buffalo is large enough that Trump’s secret police can get away with disappearing people without raising objections? It is, on one hand, New York’s second-largest city, but, on the other, it’s not quite 3.5% the population of Gotham and even less so if you include the entire NYC metro zone. NYS demographics […]
Somehow Captain America looks kind of ridiculous in Andy Bundy’s cover illustration for Realpolitik, though I can’t find that the magazine has any on-line presence. But he adds the slug “Captain America-First” unleashes tariffs against China but also Canada and Mexico, bullying his allies and neighbours while turning away from many of the real threats to global […]
Peter Schrank notes the almost-too-late move by the Americans to resupply Ukraine, and it’s good to get an outside view, because our internal reasons for the delay don’t much matter to people facing conquest. That more pragmatic point of view makes “Better late than never” a dubious expression, which Schrank emphasizes by showing Ukraine on […]
I gather Joe Heller is taking no pride in the coming elections, but he seems terribly cynical. It’s true that few of our elections have united the nation, but they’re not supposed to. That sense of pride comes from our ability to hash out our differences and come up with workable solutions, and I’ll grant […]
Brazilian cartoonist Amorim (Cartoon Movement) leads us off today with a reasonable critique of the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza, where Israel’s response to the horrific Hamas attacks has combined air attacks on suspected terrorist sites with warnings to civilians to evacuate an already crowded area, while food, water, fuel and electricity have been cut […]
I wasn’t going to do any more about the Nashville shootings because there wasn’t much fresh to be said about it even yesterday: Either you want it to stop or you don’t. But, at the moment, the alternative seemed to be more cartoons about David and I was already burned out on them. On the […]
