To be clear, I like today’s Edison Lee (KFS), which riffs on new ways for kids to screw up, though my guess would be that Jack knows ways to make the refrigerator sit up, roll over and beg that his parents will never figure out. There are plenty of times a parent at the kitchen […]
Not only is it TGIF, but it’s also TGIR, which stands for “Thank God I’m Retired,” because this Andertoons might otherwise spark a bout of depression. The only suspense in visits from Corporate was whether they were sending a deliberate liar or just someone who didn’t know what was going on. We had a […]
Wallace the Brave is consistently filled with such surreal touches that it is generally easier to point out the ways it could have gone wrong than to explain where it all came from in the first place. The timing is exquisite: My feeders have been crowded the past two weeks as birds either gas up […]
Most weeks, Friday Funnies are things that made me chuckle, perhaps snicker, occasionally LOL, but this Rhymes With Orange channels some really good existential dread. Which made me really laugh, but only because I’ve embraced my inner slacker and I don’t have those dreams anymore. I don’t know if it’s a sign of achieving inner peace […]
Based on Sunday’s Wallace the Brave, Will Henry is apparently the only cartoonist who knows that tin-can telephones require a taut line. He’s too young to remember when comic books were for kids (rather than perennial adolescents — we’ll get back to that) and used to have filler pages with jokes, riddles and craft projects, […]
Rex Morgan took a serious step through the fourth wall Sunday, wrapping up a story that had begun with a singer with a bad cough, written in part before bad coughs were a thing, and now to be followed by a storyline that wouldn’t be overshadowed by current events. So now l’il Grundoon has asked […]
Dear Leader is set to address the nation this morning, but, since Fox and Friends is still on for the better part of an hour as I write this, Darrin Bell’s explanation will have to do in the meantime. And it may continue to be the most clear and concise version, though the Washington Post […]
This is going to look like a short entry, but I’ll be sending you lots of worthwhile places, so pay attention to the links and you’ll have enough cartoons to keep you happy. The thing is, everyone saw this half of the process coming, so they’ve had plenty of time to come up with a […]
If you haven’t had quite enough Thanksgiving, I recommend a trip to Paul Berge’s blog, where you can check out Thanksgiving cartoons from roughly a century ago, including this post-WWI John McCutcheon piece noting that, while Extravagance, Unrest and the High Cost of Living were still dining at the table, War, Hunger and Hard Times […]
