A bit of rational exuberance from David Rowe as the FBI executes a search warrant on the Trump residence at Mar A Lago. I’m impressed by the number of cartoonists who leapt into the saddle last evening after Trump announced that the feds were picking on him, but Rowe gets the award for not simply […]
Greg Kearney explains the US Senate’s move to put the United States out of sync with most of the rest of the world by making Daylight Saving Time permanent. As he notes, it simply shifts everything one hour forward which, as far as I can tell, accomplishes nothing except to make the concept of time […]
Constant Readers may have noted that I’m currently frustrated and have been avoiding political cartoons for a few days. David Cohen offers something of an explanation. The “Heh Heh” is the best part, because not only has the Reasonable Man been wasting his time, but his inability to get through makes the wall feel victorious. […]
I still don’t understand how deadlines work for political cartoonists. There are cartoonists leaping to the fray with each wrinkle in the news and there are those who draw cartoons that sit for weeks. Sure, some are full-time and some have other duties, but do the cartoonists in that second group really have no ability […]
RJ Matson offers one of the more neutral cartoons regarding Michael Cohen’s planned appearance today before the House Oversight Committee. Cohen blew a previous plea bargain by lying, and, as all fans of “Law & Order” (the TV show, not necessarily the concept) know, it’s standard procedure to attempt to impeach any witness — even an […]
Bill Bramhall uses a familiar symbol — heck, I just cited it the other day — and this time, it’s no joke and not much of an exaggeration. Perhaps none. (Bloomberg) — Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, has postponed his testimony to Congress citing concerns for his family’s safety. On the […]
I’ll admit to having been sucked in completely by this Alex, because, while everyone in the strip is contemptible on some level, Clive had been painted as the victim in this ongoing divorce thread. For all the comical excesses of the characters, part of what makes this strip work is their lifelike nature, and I […]
“This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning.” — Winston Churchill, Nov. 10, 1942 Ann Telnaes reflects my own mood at the moment: He’s completely hemmed in, but it hasn’t stopped him from tweeting. I’ll confess that, when Nixon was […]
Before we get to the main event, Pearls Before Swine has a well-timed strip today. The Manafort/Cohen news broke late enough yesterday that I’m going to give cartoonists a chance to catch up, but one difference between this and Watergate is that, in a world without gatekeepers, those who insist that laws don’t apply to […]
