Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end. Dr. MacLeod piggybacks on the success of the new Indiana Jones movie — in which an 80-year-old proves he’s not too old to be a hero — by pointing out how things have changed not since World War II but far more recently. After […]
There’s a lot to like in Steve Sack‘s cartoon, which plays upon the recent decision to allow booster shots of whatever is available rather than the specific vaccine you had before. Not only is it a good wrap-up of the major lies being promoted and accepted, but the dizzy, satisfied smile on the face of […]
Once again this week, sports takes the lead, as Adam Zyglis (Cagle) spotlights a hero and a zero. Carl Nassib, who is entering his sixth year in the NFL, came out as gay, which caused a great deal of applause, until someone found out he’s also a conservative Republican, at which point they remembered another […]
Edison Lee (KFS) doesn’t say everything I’ve been thinking about this, but he says enough. One of the things popping up on my social media feed again lately has been calls for term limits. We’ve got term limits. They’re called “elections.” If they don’t work, the answer is in this comic strip, because Congressmembers spend […]
Marty Two-Bulls sets our theme today, reposting a playful bit of mockery it would be uncool for someone else to suggest. The timing is good because I just discovered that the Crow are not the only Northern Plains people among whom clans are named by their rivals, though his Oglala are apparently not among them. […]
We’ll start with the easy one today: Greg Kearney (Ind) reminds me of when I lived in Maine and you didn’t dare complain about the cold, because the Yankee response was, “Well, ya live in Maine …” They weren’t expressing resignation. I was used to places where, at winter break, everyone fled to Orlando, so […]
At first glance, Rob Rogers (Ind)’s cartoon sparked a “Yes, I know,” response, because we’ve all watched the GOP spinelessly acquiesce to Dear Leader’s assault on the electoral system. But his caption adds a disturbing element, at least for those of us who remember the days when we chose to believe that the mass of […]
Here are the most recent two days at Prickly City, and whether or not this is going to be a week-long story arc, Scott Stantis has already outlined the dilemma facing thoughtful conservatives. It’s that whole thing about whether it’s nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageously offensive blathering or […]
Long-time readers have seen this 28-year-old Jack Ohman cartoon before; it’s one of my favorites. It’s relevant today because, after a great deal of hemming and hawing and attempts to justify a truly bad decision, NYTimes Editorial Page Editor James Bennet has resigned. Or jumped or was pushed, after the NYTimes was lambasted for having […]
