Venables makes an important point: It’s not over. It’s not clear where we are now, but it is clear that all the same players are still present, and there’s no reason to think any of them plan to change their spots just because one crisis has been put aside. Sort of.In fact, German points out, […]
Can’t steal the pun without crediting the punster, and it’s also worth pointing out that Dan Thompson had to have drawn this before the court decision came down and extend him some kudos for that, as well, though the trial took five weeks, so there was plenty of time to jump aboard.The YouTube lawyer explained […]
A few cartoonists joined in the general condemnation of Trump’s tasteless dismissal of Robert Mueller’s death. I remain disappointed in the number, but, then again, I didn’t see any cartoons about his jaw-dropping insult of the Japanese Prime Minister.Granlund skips the revulsion, however, and instead injects a bit of truth to counter Dear Leader’s claim […]
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 […]
I knew someone was going to do this, but if it’s not surprising, it is well done, because Jones had the sense not to clutter it up with additional images or unnecessary commentary. And I don’t like labels, but he made it a headline instead, which works for me. And he always adds context at […]
If you’ve ever been in a play, you know that after a rehearsal, the director gathers the cast and provides a list of notes on what went well and what could have gone better in hopes of improving the next run-through. Given the death of the paper in a major city, Bish’s use of the […]
Madam & Eve has been having fun with Trump’s expansionist ambitions, and why not? As noted before, they have no oil for him to covet and, thanks to his gullible acceptance of toxic, one-sided fables, he’s opened the door to accept a group of faux-refugees that will relieve South Africa of their whinging.But, as the […]
The world views with horror the killing of Renee Good, but Wilcox expands upon its significance by pointing out Dear Leader’s threats against Iran if it uses violence against demonstrators there. She has logic on her side in pointing out the hypocrisy, both in the shooting itself and in the government’s mullah-like denunciations of the […]
This time of year invariably produces a flood of turkeys attempting to avoid the ax, but Hands breaks tradition and makes an actual point, based on Dear Leader’s pardoning of those who worked to overturn the legal results of the 2020 election, which matches the pardons he provided for the rioters who stormed the Capitol […]
Pickles provides us with an excellent starting point, because, as noted here yesterday, we should keep some sense of humor amid the wreckage of a fine country. Not only does it give us the spirit to keep going, but it gives us the strength to keep resisting.Most Americans aren’t in any great danger of being […]
The Chinese have their water torture and the Australians, well the National Cartoon Gallery anyway, have their own form of torment. This year’s Rotary Cartoon Awards were held two weeks ago but the disclosure of the winning cartoonists and the runners-up were announced one day at a time since the ceremony. But we finally have […]
First, a look at a pair of Labor Day cartoons that didn’t make deadline yesterday, and, yes, he really has complained about people taking Juneteenth and other federal holidays off. Granted, we don’t really know if he played golf yesterday, because the photos they posted to show he isn’t dead were from a game a […]
I like Rod Emmerson’s commentary on America’s legally protected penchant for mass murder. The fact that he’s observing our national fetish from New Zealand is a good indication of how widely recognized, totally insane and appallingly unique it is.Even more telling is the fact that he drew this in 2015 and posted it now because […]
Dave Brown offers the most generous take on Dear Leader’s tariff tantrum, in which he takes aim at the big bad world out there in his most America First way, but does more damage to Uncle Sam and his American constituents.It’s unintentional, but there it is: However random and nonsensical the tariffs placed on each […]
There’s not much to add to or analyze in Jennings’ cartoon. Children are living as grotesque skeletons and dying in unconscionable numbers. The obvious, simple solution would be to give them food, but instead they have to die. It’s all rather complicated.The whole world is watching, and, as Pope says, putting together their sternest words, […]
