I suppose it’s hardly surprising that someone called “First Dog on the Moon” is somewhat excited about the Artemis II mission, though if you’ve seen his cartoons before, it’s equally unsurprising that he’s also somewhat skeptical about it. This seems to be a common split: People fascinated by the space program are fascinated while people […]
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, […]
One of the things I like about Australian cartoonists is their willingness to skip the niceties and get to the point. Wilcox notes the colossal series of missteps, lies and blunders Dear Leader has exhibited during his reign and yet he seems to be getting an equally colossal series of free passes.There are two odd […]
Granlund offers attractive art and an odd concept, which is how readily, and how quickly, we have allowed ourselves to be dragged back into another interminable, self-destructive war in the Middle East.After all, we haven’t finished killing our allies from our last glorious overseas adventure.But, of course, we didn’t get into this war in the […]
First Dog comments on our special military operation, which isn’t a war except sometimes somebody slips and accidentally calls it one. “Special Military Operation” is also what Vladimir Putin calls his invasion of Ukraine, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.But as First Dog says, Australia is definitely not in a war, though they seem […]
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, […]
Today’s lead-off was an odd coincidence, since it appeared the day after a conversation at the dog park with a Spanish teacher and my friend who speaks Brazilian Portuguese, about the need to not only teach kids a second language but to teach them about the culture in which it is spoken.One of the oddities […]
We’ve had some smoky days here, but — looking at the AirNow.gov map — nothing like what they’re seeing in the Midwest and certainly not what they’re seeing in large swaths of Canada. We had readings of 83 yesterday, just shy of the “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” level, but high “Moderate” enough that people reported […]
It has come to this.There are differences. The Third Reich was specifically rounding up Jews, while the Trump administration continues to say it is only arresting foreign criminals.But the Nazis were also rounding up Roma and LGBTQ people, and the Trump administration is also rounding up people who look like immigrants. The Nazis never said […]
Rowe gets a laugh out of Dear Leader’s attack on Iran despite feeling it represents the death of the UN Charter, because there’s absurdity in the arrogance and chaos in the messaging.One of the factors in our liberation of Kuwait was that GHWB had obtained cooperation from a wide array of allies, and then stopped […]
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. ICYMI, our president actually said “An old fashioned term that we use — groceries — I used it on the campaign. It’s such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. ‘Groceries.’ It’s a bag with different things in it.”This is, of course, the same president who believes that […]
Dear Leader’s urge for Lebensraum is getting a frosty reception in the Great White North, as Aislin indicates. Apparently they won’t drink his Kool-Aid (yes, yes, “Flavor-Aid”) up there. And if they did, they’d likely have to pay a tariff on it, because their government isn’t taking the trade war lying down.Here’s another view from […]
Jen Sorensen skips the clever rhetoric and metaphors and gets right to the point: Tuesday is going to tell the story.There are any number of cartoons out there about how sick everyone is of political advertisements and arguments, and I’m sympathetic, but that’s how the system works, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to […]
Jack Ohman (Tribune) offers a combination of the mundane and the insightful.It seems 90% of the conversation about Trump’s rally was about the first tasteless joke by the first tasteless speaker. Not only did everyone ignore the parade of white supremacists and assorted bigots who followed Tony Hinchcliffe, but few of them bothered to even […]
Brace yourself, Willie. Here comes a flood, and it’s not just special sauce.Granted, I posted a David Rowe version yesterday, but that’s the advantage he gets with a 15-hour time difference between Sydney and New York: He slipped in ahead of the crowd.Jack Ohman — SmerconishPat Bagley Phil HandsNick Anderson — TribuneI suppose that — […]
