Can’t accuse Tim Campbell (WPWG) of sugar-coating things. Granted, we’ve got vaccines now, but even if everyone got them, it would be late spring before we could safely unmask. And given the number of delusional nitwits amongst us, it probably won’t happen that quickly. I was looking around the grocery store the other day. We’re […]
I suppose Michael de Adder (Ind) sums it up best: We’ve gone off the rails and Dear Leader continues to sit there tweeting away. The question now being not so much “So what?” as “Now what?” Yesterday, I joked about an Oprah-style rally where everyone who attended got a pardon, and Clay Bennett (CTFP) […]
Rick McKee starts off the discussion with a simple, time-tested fact, which is that people believe what — but mostly who — they want to believe. Some of it is trivial. Most kids become suspicious about Santa Claus early on, and figure it out for themselves, sometimes with a friend bursting a bubble that was […]
A leftover from yesterday, this Pajama Diaries has been rattling around in my consciousness for a couple of reasons. One is that, as Terri Libenson brings the comic to a close — there’s only two weeks left — I’m going to really miss it but I suspect that she, like Jill, is doing a little […]
Alex neatly answers my usual “where to start” question because I should have pointed out this development when it started, which was Monday. Start there and catch up. I don’t know if it’s a complete game change for the strip, which is generally centered on Britain’s business community, but, then again, it hardly matters because […]
One thing you learn early on in the opinionating business is that if you express yourself in anything longer than a single sentence, you’re likely to be surprised at what readers pick up on. The other thing you should learn is that being clever almost never works. It’s good that Jen Sorensen is, for all […]
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. — Proverbs 26:11 In the aftermath of every election, wise observers conclude that the “horse race” coverage was not only lazy but detracted from what could be, and should be, more useful and intelligent comparisons of candidates. And then, in the next […]
I’m not prepared to anoint David Fitzsimmons as the next Nostradamus or even Jeanne Dixon, but he did run this cartoon before last night’s debates. I started to watch the debates, but the Jeopardy! format put me off. Actually, a Jeopardy! format might have been kind of fun: Each candidate could select a question from […]
There are always a lot of turkey-pardoning cartoons at Thanksgiving, but this year they had the Khashoggi murder to work in, which lifted them above the usual, though not necessarily above each other. What was more interesting was to see how many conservative cartoonists broke ranks to criticize Trump over this murderous buddy-buddy act. But […]
