I’m not in the mood for politics today, and, fortunately, some strip artists put up fine work, which works out nicely and so Friday Funnies come on a Tuesday this week. But, before that, politics are pretty funny at the moment, too, and Matt Wuerker‘s commentary on John Bolton’s book provides a moment to […]
Cartooning from across the ocean, Irish Times wag Martyn Turner sets the stage for today’s posting and tonight’s rally. The inverted red triangles — signs of neo-Nazi sympathy that recently got some Trump Facebook postings banned — are a nice touch. The T-shirt reading “White Lives Matter Most” is also relevant, particularly in light of […]

It was an easier gig back when politics and […]
I remember reading some swashbuckler in which, at the very start, the roughnecks who wielded broadswords were complaining about Frenchmen who fought with light foils, which they felt were not manly in that they didn’t deal death in great, slashing blows but with small, sneaky thrusts. It must have been Rafael Sabatini, because Dumas was […]
Michael Ramirez salutes the victory of Osama bin Laden, who managed to both undermine our freedom and to keep us firmly in his grasp nearly two decades later. Not sure that was the intent of the cartoon, but look around. Our misplaced priorities are based on pre-existing, irrational Islamophobia, given a semi-rational basis by the […]
