Kevin Kallaugher points out something you should already know, which is that Dear Leader is celebrating his return to power but wearing blinders to avoid facing a major crisis that he has dismissed as a hoax. It’s certainly not because any reputable scientists have assured him that it isn’t real, but perhaps it’s somehow linked […]
In case you missed it, Paul Fell summarizes the growing, and increasingly official, war on the free press. On one hand, we have a Civil War festering within the nation, by which I mean without the benefit of one set of states going off in one direction and another set staying put. Instead, the rebels […]
I wish I could disagree with Clay Bennett (CTFP), but, yeah, that’s pretty much the State of the Union, and the only quibble I can add is that the pieces might perhaps be more bent from being pounded into places where they don’t fit. But maybe he’s right. Maybe the pieces fit perfectly without spelling […]
Kevin Siers puts our current crisis in plain terms: We’ve somehow become involved in an argument in which the concept of justice has been placed in the dock, forced to prove itself innocent rather than, as in both English Common Law and our own traditional system, being assumed innocent until proven guilty. And it’s […]
Jen Sorensen describes the lack of actual, principled ideas in our current world, an example of sarcasm in defense of freedom, which should be the purpose of editorial cartooning, though we also see it used for just the opposite purpose: To reinforce prejudice and paranoia. Drew Sheneman (Tribune) echoes her argument, but is more […]
In this Non Sequitur (AMS), Wiley Miller longs for the world before social media, and whether this would be a lame amusement park or the basis for culture war is open to debate. If it would be war, we could hope enough people would sit around whining about how lame it was that the shock […]
I don’t remember if I was in second or third grade, but just about the time this 1957 Buz Sawyer (KFS) strip ran, we had an assembly where a husband-and-wife team explained communism to us and why we didn’t want it to creep into our society. I suspect they were from the John Birch Society, […]
A little politics on a nonpolitical day, and BTW, while this is a Friday and we’ll be having Funnies, it’s purely coincidental. I start each morning with a wander through Facebook and Twitter and this felt like a good day not to engage. But then I got to the comics and Candorville (WPWG) stopped me […]
Adam Zyglis (Cagle) offered this cartoon several days ago, when Mitch McConnell finally broke his silence and admitted that Joe Biden had won the election. And, yes, it was as controversial as admitting that the sky is blue. But the cartoon had a short shelf life because the news did not, in fact, quash Trump’s […]
Jimmy Margulies gets the prize for an apt literary reference as we prepare for the alleged trial of the alleged President. The issue isn’t so much that the Republicans are in lockstep. That’s been obvious for more than a decade. But Kevin Siers points out that we can skip the references to the Wizard of […]
