Starting out with this morning’s Cornered (AMS), though at first I had nothing to say about it except that it cracked me up. However, Fair Use demands I make some sort of critique, so I probed deeper. First of all, it’s a great spin on the real stories of Dad running over Junior’s bike which […]
Maria Scrivan — whom I will see in a day or two at CXC — offers a funny/not funny Half Full, the kind where first you laugh and then you sink into a reverie. Oh, honey, nobody reads the terms and conditions. Well, except for Robert Sikoryak, who found a way to make Apple’s […]
Pros & Cons (KFS) comes as close to political as I plan to get today, in part because I’m finding the whole thing exhausting and in part because Lyndon sums up my take more concisely than I would. People are complaining that Bill Barr didn’t step up sooner and that Mike Pence didn’t step up […]

Maybe I compartmentalize too much, or maybe I’m dreading the dead space between now and New Years, when everyone takes off and there’s nothing to comment […]

We’ll end the week with a bit of politics, as Gary Clement (Cartoon Arts) hits with one of the first cartoons to shift from war to cease-fire in the Middle East. I found it particularly interesting because I stumbled onto the press conference the White House scheduled with the President Biden and South Korean President […]
Jeremy Banx gets the only coronavirus cartoon today, because it made me laff. It’s annoying that hand gel is probably a good idea, because it provides cover for the germaphobes who compulsively wipe down everything for no particular reason. I’m not going to fret until the disease gets a little closer, but that’s not the […]
