Nick Anderson (Tribune) gently transitions us from two days of comedy to a day of politics. It’s appropriate, because RFK Jr, as it happens, seems to be a 2:1 mix of comedy and politics, in the same way that a (real) martini is a 2:1 mix of gin and vermouth, except that a lot of […]
Today’s theme being comic strips you may not find funny, we’ll start out with a La Cucaracha (AMS) that explores areas I probably shouldn’t try to comment on. Spanish-speaking people are not a single ethnic group, and are barely a single linguistic group, and yet they are treated as a single group. I don’t think […]
Dave Granlund offers an above-average obituary cartoon for Bishop Tutu. He doesn’t try to say too much, but points out an important factor: Tutu and Mandela fought together against apartheid with sunny good spirits that encouraged people to make common cause with them. It’s a reminder of the Biblical admonition to be wise as serpents […]
Arlo is right. Whatever the benefits or failures of Daylight Saving Time, it sure gives people a lot of latitude for conversation, and I use the word pointedly, because the United States extends through enough latitude that, when it comes to sunlight, most of us don’t know what the rest of us are talking about.

(Rip Kirby) (Big Ben Bolt) Call this the “Juxtaposition of Nagging.” Over in the Vintage section at Comics Kingdom, Rip Kirby is just starting a new adventure, while Ben Bolt is at the climax of another. Offering these classic strips to those who pony up $20 a year to subscribe is better than a tote […]
Universal Uclick adds maybe 37 or so comics a day to the GoClick roster. That might be a slight exaggeration, but they certainly add a substantial number each month. I noticed that they started a new feature by Dan Collins called Looks Good on Paper – which is an ironic title for a webcomic. Good […]
I’d like to welcome back Universal Uclick as the sponsors of The Daily Cartoonist this week. Universal owns GoComics.com which is THE largest comic portal in the world. Each month I get a list of new features they’re bringing into the fold – not just traditional comic strips but great webcomics of all varieties. It […]
I’m happy to present GoComics for a third and final week of sponsorship for The Daily Cartoonist. It’s probably not a hard stretch of the imagination to understand that GoComics, being the largest comic portal on the internet, is the home to the most number of award-winning cartoonists. For instance, this year’s recipient of The […]
I’m incredibly happy that Universal Uclick, the people who syndicate some of the best known features in the world, is this week’s sponsor. Universal operates GoComics.com – home to hundreds of the finest comics on the innerwebs. In fact, I’m not quite sure a larger collection of comic strips exists on the web. Each month […]
