There are all sorts of important political issues to address, but there are also a lot of leftover Thanksgiving political cartoons, and it’s too late to keep arguing over the election because that die has been cast. So here’s a Jimmy Craig cartoon which is also about Thanksgiving but made me smile. I didn’t use […]
Ian Boothby is right: Paying attention to what’s going on is not good for you. Unfortunately, failure to pay attention to what’s going on is even worse for everybody in the long run. And while there may be some dark satisfaction in schadenfreude, hoping for people to realize what they’ve wrought won’t stop what they’ve […]
I suspect Biden’s decision to let Ukraine fire US-supplied missiles over its border, and his decision to supply the Ukrainians with anti-personnel mines, were an effort to shore up their defenses before Trump comes into office and begins catering to his great good friend Putin.

Kevin Necessary offers the first of a planned sequence of cartoons going through the stages of grief, and he seems to speak for a lot of his fellow political cartoonists, as well as a lot of civilians. Kyle Bravo expresses much the same feeling on behalf of those outside the trade, who face different challenges […]
Matt Pritchett has a talent for reducing complexities to simple imagery. Journalistic neutrality is a polite fiction, but it works if you take it seriously, as we once did. Walter Cronkite is often held up as the model for broadcasters. When he took off his glasses in announcing the death of JFK, or when he […]
Having recently discussed how often cartoonists land on the same concept, here’s Adam Zyglis (Cagle) with an example of accepting the fact and making it work. Rockwell’s painting is “Freedom from Want,” one of his four freedom classics, celebrating the best of American culture and tradition, and, specifically, the Four Freedoms laid out in FDR’s […]
