A couple hundred photos of this year’s 79th Reuben Awards weekend have been posted. David Folkman and Robert Pollack through Hogan’s Alley present about a hundred pictures.And the National Cartoonists Society has dropped another hundred or so to Dropbox and want more.
Modesty insists I begin today’s exposé of nitwits with Maria Scrivan’s relevant diagram of how I use reusable bags.I’d do better if I could get them to the car, because both my co-op and my (usual) grocery store have signs at the door reminding you, which is okay if the bags are 50 feet away […]
(This is a departure from our usual format, but it’s an important topic.) There are a couple of “comics surveys” currently being conducted in major markets, which I know because of the complaints from cartoonists about how unfair, unscientific and invalid these things are, and how they defeat the purpose of gaining readers by catering […]
Today’s Andertoons is one that could run about anytime these days, since there doesn’t seem to be a moment when someone isn’t pestering you for feedback.I bought a pair of Yaktrax online and, 24 hours after they arrived, got an email from the third-party supplier with the subject line “We need you to write an […]

I think this Clay Bennett panel pretty much sums it up. It’s got enough detail in it that I assume he did two cartoons ahead of time and posted the appropriate one when the call was made.And I suppose the alternative take might have used most of the same art, but with the facial expressions […]
Tom Tomorrow, an endangered species, on the recent debates.But, y’know, not recent enough. We want the truth and we want it right now, but, if we have to choose, we’ll take “right now.”So the consulate in Benghazi is attacked, and the first report is that a mob got out of control, stormed the place and killed […]
