CSotD: The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gub

Poor Pam! She wanted to come across as a really tough loyalist, but she ran into too many Julie Browns. Obviously, one of them was Julie K. Brown, who is to Jeffrey Epstein as Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, and so the Attorney General faced clear evidence that Something Wasn’t Right.But when she went […]

CSotD: Holiday Humor

Presidents’ Day invariably involves snow in this part of the country, and, yes, finding a stick is finding a treasure. I have varying memories of the day:The Great Ice Storm of 1998 occurred just after New Years, but an after-effect of that disaster was that because schools in Northern New York were closed for a […]

Sunday Valentines

Before diving into today’s comics let’s give a little throwback love to Percy Crosby. That was a beautiful Skippy panel that Skippy Inc. and GoComics ran two days ago. It really makes us yearn for the days when cartoonists had the acreage to display their pen and ink talents. Hat tip to Jef Mallett for […]

CSotD: Quality Commentary

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 […]

CSotD: Here’s the News Across the Nation

Might as well lead off with the one in dubious taste. Jones doesn’t mind pushing things and I agree with his premise that only crooks wear masks. He’s not the first person to point out that all sorts of law officers manage to get through their workday without hiding their identities and there’s no reason […]

Last April we reported that Solidarity and AfriForum had filed a complaint with the Press Council South Africa against the Daily Maverick after a Zapiro cartoon was published that suggested that AfriForum and Solidarity were claiming there as a genocide of white farmers in South Africa. The Deputy Ombudsman initially ruled against the paper, but […]

CSotD: Follow-Up Friday

I’m not really introducing a new thing called “Follow-Up Friday,” but we seem to have a lot of topics hanging around, but getting new spin.I’ve seen a meme that mocks people who said they couldn’t understand Bad Bunny’s Spanish, saying that the Epstein Files are in English and people can’t seem to understand them, either. […]
