Al Goodwyn (Creators) is a very nice guy, and this is a well-intended New Year’s cartoon. I’m leading with it today because I’ll also feature some less honest commentary, but I believe this to be completely sincere and honest and naive and wrong. Goodwyn is no cynic, but maybe you have to be one to […]
Mike Luckovich takes only a small bit of artistic liberty in depicting one of the battlefields of the New Civil War. We haven’t put on uniforms and I knock wood in saying that we haven’t had anyone shot at a school board meeting. Yet. But there has been gunplay in this New Civil War, and […]
Sometimes, as discussed here yesterday, you can be too smart for the room, and that doesn’t necessarily require making jokes about the Brontë Sisters. My first response to this Prickly City (UFS) was to shrug it off, but, while it is obvious, it is also compact and concise. Granted, depicting Trump as a skunk is […]

Only, as his parallel drawings suggest, there isn’t even much of a mote. For Trump and his myrmidons, it’s […]
(We’ll be looking at a lot of cartoons today. Please consider visiting this list of Patreons and giving the cartoonists a little $$ to sweeten your applause.) Drew Sheneman kicks off this review with a cartoon that might also have been the punchline at the end. I usually flip on the news channels in the […]
We’ll start the day with Steve Sack‘s commentary on working at home, because he acknowledges the challenge without going overboard. With about half my career having been freelance, I’ve worked at home both with kids under foot and after they were long gone, and I do recognize the fact that my deadlines have been far […]
