I was playing around in 1935 newspapers and came across this Art Krenz illustration with the tale of the tape for the upcoming fight between Max Baer (yes, Jethro’s father) and Joe Louis. Sports cartoons often had a lot of word balloons and commentary, but Krenz plays this straight because interest in the fight was […]
The question is theoretical, like “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” which is about how much space non-corporeal critters take up, the answer to which is “Get a grip.”The tree falling in the forest is about whether sound is the vibration itself or the sensing of the vibration in the […]
The master of the Art of the Deal may be recognizing that his good pal Vladimir doesn’t actually respect him that much after all.Whamond is hardly the only one to note the gap between Trump’s campaign promise to end the war in 24 hours and his switch to what people are interpreting as a whine.MacKinnon […]
“Many a truth is spoken in jest” and Jim Benton hits on one here. Things seem to be degenerating faster, or at least more blatantly, than expected, but I’m going to provide readers with a few laffs today while we give the editorial cartoonists some time to catch up.Meanwhile, I hope you haven’t already spent […]
Tommy Siegel offers an explanation of what happened this week, and, while foolish arrogance doesn’t explain it all, I feel free to skip politics today and just offer some laughs and general social reflection.I think the political cartoonists need some time to reflect and refocus. There have been some good responses, as seen here and […]
Michael deAdderBen GarrisonWe won’t get through all the emerging political cartoons about the election today, but here are the bookends: de Adder sees it as the monster returning, referencing Poltergeist, the 1982 horror film about a gateway opening up to the other side, while Garrison cites the Magnificent Seven, in which a group of heroes […]
Just a quick reminder from Madam & Eve that not everyone is starting to anticipate winter. We’ve just hit apple-picking season up here and winter can’t be far behind, but for those on the opposite side of the Equator, it’s nearly spring.I’ll be pleased when the pollen ends up here, and, oddly enough, happy if […]
Our theme starts with today’s Baby Blues (AMS). My first impression was that it was another “overscheduled kids” gag, which is an okay issue in general but has been done and overdone and doesn’t make me laugh anymore.So I flipped past, but then “Wait till your dad gets home” pinged my brain and I went […]
Lalo AlcarazTommy SiegelClay JonesAnd so on and so forth. The Internet is full of jokes about JD Vance masturbating with a sofa, and the cartoons are nearly as plentiful.It’s a lie. Or, as the Fact Check sites say, it “Originated as Satire.”We see stories from time to time about foreign governments picking up Onion satires […]
Not feeling all that political today, but I got a laff out of Tommy Siegel‘s piece because it coincides with a sudden deluge of similarly dismissive editorial cartoons explaining that, despite all evidence to the contrary, those darned college kids are all anti-Semites, including the Jewish demonstrators.I don’t mind it coming from the usual suspects, […]
