Michael Ramirez (Creators) starts us off with a tough one, because the facts appear to be hung up between history and hope. A large problem with the question of who gets audited is the age of the data. The General Accounting Office, which should be an impartial source, relies on data from 2019, which is […]
Pat Bagley borrows a well-known line from “1984” to point out the unspeakable lies being put forth by the Republicans, and, while he specifies his home-state Utah’s branch, it was the text from the Republican National Committee that classified trespassing, assaulting police officers, theft, vandalism and crapping on the floor as “legitimate political discourse.” It’s […]
“I know what you’re thinking about,” said Tweedledum: “but it isn’t so, nohow.” “Contrariwise,” continued Tweedledee, “if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” Andertoons explains the logic under which we’re currently operating, no matter how Tweedledee defines the term, […]
This Jeff Stahler (AMS) cartoon greets me appropriately upon my return from Younger Son’s home in Minnesota, where I had Thanksgiving a week early with his family of four, another granddaughter and her husband, and my ex, all of whom live there. I heartily recommend it, because the flights were cheaper, though you might want […]
Bill Bramhall opens the day with a nightmare depiction of a woke Democrat, which brings to mind the oft-repeated quote of poor Henry Clay, “I would rather be right than be president.” Be careful what you wish for. I say “poor Henry Clay” because he was a great man in an era when we needed […]
The passage of the Infrastructure bill seems to have caught political cartoonists flat-footed, with most of the published commentary this morning assuming it remains stalled. I’m not sure I’d go as far as Steve Brodner and compare it to the coming of the Paraclete — Okay, I’m sure I wouldn’t — but it was still […]
(Clay Bennett – CTFP) (Michael Ramirez – Creators) (Gary Varvel – Creators) Clay Bennett best sums up yesterday’s unexpected resignation of Andrew Cuomo, though I got a chuckle out of Michael Ramirez’s take. Political cartoons aren’t required to be funny, but it’s a nice bonus if you can slip in a laugh without […]
I would likely have placed this Jimmy Margulies (KFS) cartoon lower in the blog today, had events not likely had him tearing out his hair. I’m playing with timing myself. It’s a very good piece, because, while the infrastructure bill matters, the eviction issue was more pressing, and it would have led to a whole […]
The joke being that, while some of us ran as fast as we could, some of us didn’t run at all, and so here we are in the same place as we started. I’d laugh, if I didn’t have a niece in Florida who tested positive despite being vaccinated. She’s okay; For nearly all […]
Joel Pett lays out the litany of hate Americans are exposed to on a regular basis and ends by portraying one of the innocent victims of this toxic bile. I can’t be the only person who has so curated his social media and learned to avoid hatemongering broadcasters that I’m not bombarded with this garbage, […]
Today’s Zits (KFS) stopped me in my tracks, not because it’s funny, which it is, but because my first response after that dissolved into uncertainty: What would you — as Jeremy and his buds — play for a dance at a retirement community? First of all, not the stuff your parents always have on the […]
I usually begin my day by checking Google News to make sure I haven’t missed any important changes in the world, because I don’t want to feature a political cartoon that’s been overtaken by developments. For instance, Delta and Coke breaking their silence on Georgia’s repressive election laws made a couple of cartoons obsolete, though […]
