The relentless corgi stampede continues, and Dr. MacLeod comments on the lack of imagination and creativity that it represents. I know cartoonists who say they never look at each other’s work because they don’t want to be influenced, which, on the one hand, is like Andy Warhol saying he never looked at Hopper or Dali […]
This piece by Barry Blitt has been all over social media lately, though he actually produced it May 14, after the leak but before the formal announcement of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade. It’s an encouraging idea, that women (and the rest of us) should stand up to the court, but, in […]
Another hero bites the dust, and I’m assuming this Barry Blitt piece is based on Eric Clapton declaring that he won’t play in venues that require proof of vaccination. He was already on the record as an anti-vaxxer, along with — sigh — Van Morrison. I don’t get the “white” thing, but I’ve seen a […]
Rob Rogers offers a response to the “Cancel Culture” kerfuffle, but in these times, it’s really hard to tell a joke without reflecting something real. Donald Trump has begun issuing position papers and people on social media argue that nobody should post or share them because it gives him the attention he craves. There’s some […]
Over in the Economist, Kal Kallaugher wonders if Europe will ever trust us again, given that she’s got reasons not to. I’m leading with it because yesterday I promised to look into the missile strike against a launch base in Syria, admitting that, given my feelings about our having abandoned our Kurdish allies, I had […]
I’ll be sending you off to some good stuff today, but let’s lead with a cartoon I absolutely cannot understand. I almost always disagree with AF Branco (Creators) but it’s not hard to figure out his rightwing fringe take on things. This one makes no sense, though, unless he preferred the succession of liars, obstructionists […]
David Rowe (Financial Review) offers a somewhat enigmatic response to yesterday’s release of the tape in which Dear Leader solicited a crime or suborned perjury or attempted to extort Georgia’s Secretary of State or whathaveyou. It is a tangled web, but, as he notes, it’s only one in a collection of damaging recordings that should […]
Maybe you can see things more clearly from a slight distance, but Canadian cartoonist Michael de Adder once more boils it all down to the essential point, aided, I would note, by the fact that his detailed style makes it possible to capture Bill Murray’s best hangdog expression. Simply citing the movie would have been […]
