Cartoonists for Kamala continues receiving and auctioning cartoon art.

One of the latest is from Robb Armstrong where he revises a recent Sunday JumpStart.

Robb rewrote the last two panels:

From Mike Lynch via Antonio Marques we are treated to a four page informative article on “How An Animated Film Is Made” written by Jerome K. Muller and illustrated by VIP (Virgil Partch) from a 1988 issue of Animation Magazine.

Except for The Chosen The Future is Dystopian.

An illustrator born in Winnipeg has collaborated with a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist to produce Justice Warriors, a top-selling graphic novel series that satirizes the profound instability of global democracy as we know it.

In the latest issue, Vote Harder, Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, founder of the influential comics magazine The Nib, return to Bubble City, “the first perfect city, a shining metropolis nestled amid a sea of crime … governed by a visionary pop-star mayor, The Prince.”

Ben Waldman at The Winnepeg Free Press talks to Justice Warriors creators Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson.

The universe they’ve created is an endless slum,with wealthy property owners banding together to create a bubble at its heart, separated by a transparently present boundary between itself and the have-nots, says Bors.

It’s a political thriller in a buddy-cop uniform set in the hairy middle ground between highbrow and lowbrow.

Letters: Comic crossed line with insult of Harris

From The Advocate:

Your paper continues to publish the unfunny “Mallard Fillmore” in the Comics & Puzzles section. Often, this totally fringe right-wing strip makes me roll my eyes because everything it espouses is based on lies and propaganda, but the recent depiction of Kamala Harris altering her pronunciation because she is told she is addressing people in Atlanta, was downright racist and insulting.

Oh, and did I say unfunny?

The Advocate should drop this strip. (It doesn’t even merit being moved to the Op-Ed page.)

But I can’t get my picture on the cover of the New Yorker

If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?

I hate to admit this, it pains me to say, it but on the cover of the New Yorker. The magazine still has the pull on me I have never been able to break away from since I first started there. Trying to be as honest as can be.

Funny Times’ Mia Beach interviews cartoonist Bob Eckstein.

There is no escape!

Navied Mahdavian put an ocean between him and his country but still couldn’t get away from U.S. politics.

Cartoonist Navied Mahdavian contributes an “Op-Comic” (Illustrated Commentary) to The Los Angeles Times.

Not Surprising.

Due to popular demand, Bloomin’ Brilliant: The Life and Work of Raymond Briggs has been extended to Sunday 22 December 2024.

The Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft continues the Raymond Briggs exhibit.

  1. On that last one I have to ask—had either of those guys ever read any of those comics before? Dark humor is kind of “Far Side”’s whole thing (and you could argue the same for Bloom County and Calvin, for that matter.)

    With the Snoopy one they may kind of have a point, but there was a period of time where s**cide was played for laughs (witness all the times Pepe Le Pew tried to shoot himself or jump off a building when he couldn’t get the girl back in the day).

  2. I’m intrigued by Navied Mahdavian’s characterisation of the UK’s new Labour administration as “the good guys”. Virtually the first policy decision Keir Starmer announced was a U-turn on the long-established annual energy grants to British seniors, a move his own party’s analysts predicted will lead to thousands of deaths as pensioners are forced to choose between eating and heating. This, at the same time Starmer was pocketing tens of thousands of £pounds in private donations towards his wardrobe, sports attendance and non-prescription spectacles.

  3. That letter of complaint is laughable. There are plenty of examples on You Tube of Kamala Harris adjusting her pronunciation to fit an audience. As for being racist, Georgia is a state, not an ethnicity.

    1. There’s footage of plenty of politicians, GWB included, adjusting their pronunciation depending on the audience. It’s a pretty common thing for people to do subconsciously. To single out Harris for doing it is weird, at best.

      And it’s Tinsley (or whoever is working for him these days) who equated “Georgia” with whatever that accent is supposed to be, not the letter writer. Make of that what you will.

      1. Good points, but it was the author of the letter who regarded the cartoon as “racist”, for reasons I still fail to fathom.
