My first reaction to this Non Sequitur (AMS) was that it’s impossible. We all know that the way you learn to check before sending is by sending before checking, a lesson gained through experience. It was a lot more fun back in the days of listservs, which, O Best Beloved, set up a little closed […]
Patrick Blower isn’t the only one roped in by an international fraud. The notion that kids were “identifying” as animals began with an intentional lie in this country some years ago and, when it resurfaced last summer, it was almost immediately slapped down as transphobic propaganda. There were no kids who thought they were cats, […]
Chip Bok (Creators) was likely being sarcastic with this one, but the comments indicate that a whole lot of the wrong readers liked his cartoon. Having recently been puzzled by the idea that maybe Michael Ramirez had had a Saul-of-Tarsus moment, I was prepared for this, but I laughed anyway. Sarcasm can be tricky, and […]
Nick Anderson (Counterpoint) manages the only tasteful riff I’ve seen on that accidental movie set shooting. It’s not a real gun and GOP claims of a stolen election are equally fake and, alas, they’re both equally deadly. The question is not whether Donald Trump believes his Big Lie — he’s been a bullshit artist all […]
I’ve had to sort through mountains of Facebook cartoons over the past 24 hours, but Dr. MacLeod was the only one that made me laugh, which is a good reason to give him the lead-off position today. There were several that suggested people were doing more constructive and enhancing things, and I suppose that’s probably […]
Kevin Necessary (AMS) offers a sarcastic salute to ignorance. I like it, though I wish we weren’t at a stage where ignorance matters quite so much and spreads quite so readily. The trigger for this cartoon is apparently the pushback over LeBron James’ quick Tweet following the death of Ma’Khia Bryant, which he subsequently […]
We’ll start with John Cole‘s cartoon and a bit of my own gossip, which in this case I define as anecdotal observations that may or may not reflect a wider truth. I worked the Primary yesterday from 7 am to noon, and we didn’t have anyone come in who had voted by absentee ballot and […]
Madam & Eve chimes in from South Africa with an opportunity to see ourselves as others see us. Well, we always wondered what would happen when Dear Leader had to face an actual crisis, and it’s surprising that it took three years. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic — well, from us though […]
Not to single out Benjamin Slyngstad in particular. He’s just one of a whole lot of cartoonists and late night hosts who have decided that Joe Biden should not be president because he said “Malarkey.” And, however he means it, what he says here is probably true. We may be reaching the “Al Gore is […]
