Flash Gordon by Dan Schkade remains enjoyable. Today’s Sunday summary of what’s happening is impressive. Even keeping those of us who have been following the weekday action interested. Prince Valiant by Mark Schultz and Thomas Yeates also used today to update readers on what is going on there. Of course there is more than two […]
In this morning’s Arlo and Janis (AMS), Arlo salutes the earlier sunrise on this first day back in Standard time. It all makes me no never mind, since I get up before anybody’s notion of daylight kicks in, though it felt good to roll over for another hour this morning. Arlo has always seemed to […]
Way too late on this but still got a couple weekends of November left. 2023 marks my fourth decade as a published cartoonist and 25 years of my comic strip It Takes a Village Idiot. To celebrate the occasion I will be presenting a retrospective of my work and offering my books, framed and unframed […]
Pat Bagley reached the same conclusion just before it apparently dawned on Congress that Tommy Tuberville’s precious stunt was providing aid and comfort to our opponents, who could become our enemies. Fortunately, even the lockstep Republicans have begun breaking ranks to begin approving the promotions Tuberville has been blocking in his one-man crusade to deny […]
After 20 years of making readers laugh from the opinion pages of the Napanee Beaver with his award-winning Our Town comic series, cartoonist Tim Nimigan is hanging up his pencil. The Napanee (Ont.) Beaver breaks the news to its readers that Tim Nimigan‘s fortnightly humor panel Our Town will end with its November 23 appearance. […]
xkcd is a dependable source for mindbending scientific concepts, but I was way ahead of them on this one. It’s the type of “I knew that” which makes you feel good, because the response is “Wouldn’t it be great if more people knew that?” Back in 2006, I wrote a newspaper series for kids called […]
Yesterday in the Cartoonist Chat editorial cartoonist Steve Breen broke the news. Today come details. From Steve Breen via X/Twitter: I’m thrilled to announce I’ve joined to team of dedicated journalists at inewsource, a nonprofit, investigative news site here in San Diego. Here’s my first cartoon. Check us out http://inewsource.org From Steve’s Facebook page: I’m […]
Dave Coverly, Jim Davis, Bill Plympton, J. C. Duffy, Trina Robbins, Georgia Higley, Peter Maresca. Bored Panda regularly features small collections of comics, today it is the syndicated Speed Bump. Bored Panda usually includes a few words from the cartoonist and in this one Dave Coverly is interviewed. “I have to turn in 7 cartoons […]
Al Goodwyn (Creators) sets the tone for today’s conversation with what seems a damp squib — that is, a firecracker that fizzles. Contrast it to this Lisa Benson cartoon: Benson’s cartoon misfires rather that fizzles: She’s simply wrong that crime and inflation are increasing, and the polls on Biden are argumentative rather than definite. Still, […]
Let’s start with what The Guardian got wrong – the Steve Bell cartoon was anti-Bibi, not antisemitic. The solution to Israeli’s problem, if there is one, will require a deft and diplomatic negotiator. Netanyahu is not that man, he is a warrior not known for finesse. Steve Bell shows that by picturing Netanyahu attempting a […]
It was the ranchlands of West Texas, rich in prehistoric outcroppings and an air of primeval antiquity, that had given the Iowa-born Hamlin an inspiration for “Alley Oop,” way back during the 1920s. He was based at the Star-Telegram at the time — producing a series called “The Panther Kitten,” a droll chronicle of a […]
Steve Breen, Jack Ohman, and Rob Rogers join in a live chat with Michael Smerconish at 7 pm today. The three cartoonists each provide exclusive content to the Smerconish newsletter every week.
It can’t get much simpler than Megan Herbert‘s illustration. We know what human rights are, and we claim to respect and revere them, and yet we consistently fail to provide them. It’s a bit like the way we save money: We know we should and we certainly want to, and we fully intend to and […]
More missing Vintage Judge Parker strips. Incidentally, the marks at the left edge of several strips here are called “gripper marks” and happen when the paper is being drawn through the press. Glad to see that Maggi is handing Sam a mystery and that this isn’t going to simply be a public service arc about […]
Saturday morning cartoons — like payphones, video rental stores, and TV guides — are one of those cultural touchstones that meant so much to older generations, but are as meaningless as a wireless telegraph to younger ones — gone within a lifetime. The first cartoon to air on a Saturday morning was “Crusader Rabbit,” four-minute-long […]
