Over in the Economist, Kal Kallaugher wonders if Europe will ever trust us again, given that she’s got reasons not to. I’m leading with it because yesterday I promised to look into the missile strike against a launch base in Syria, admitting that, given my feelings about our having abandoned our Kurdish allies, I had […]
Danae may be ahead of her classmates in today’s Non Sequitur, but they’ll follow soon enough. The notion that what’s said on-line stays on-line is nonsense. I remember, in about 2003, going to see a principal at an elementary school so rural (How rural was it?) so rural that you could see cows in the […]
Mike Smith sets the stage as political cartoonists discuss the news, the announcement and the reaction to both. It’s a conversation made more interesting to watch because, while nobody is mourning the loss of al-Baghdadi any more than they mourned the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011, they are contrasting the two events. […]
Adam Zyglis offers a good jumping off place this morning, since, from here, we can go in a couple of different directions. The first is, of course, the arrogance of wealth combined with a sociopathic lack of empathy, and we don’t have to go back to Marie Antoinette to find a parallel. Though, to […]
Alex neatly answers my usual “where to start” question because I should have pointed out this development when it started, which was Monday. Start there and catch up. I don’t know if it’s a complete game change for the strip, which is generally centered on Britain’s business community, but, then again, it hardly matters because […]
Stephff (Stephane Peray) is a well-respected international cartoonist, giving up what I’m sure was a major portion of his income, not to mention his hometown paper, on an issue of principle. Bado has a little more info on his blog. Earlier this year, Stephff also gave up cartooning for the Arab News, and issued a longer […]
Martin Rowson drops an accusation not unlike the Mike Luckovich cartoon featured here Thursday, but at once more gruesome and more subtle. “Subtle” in that it’s not hard to draw a line from Trump’s business interests in Istanbul to his betrayal of our Kurdish allies, but perhaps you already have to recognize, and to accept, […]
In the current “Heart of the City” story arc, she has become class president, which puts her in conflict with her best friend, Dean, reporter for the class paper. I like the story, but have to object to that last panel, because you don’t smile when you drop a rock on a pal. There’s satisfaction […]
Nick Anderson is right, and the observation might have been just as apt back when Obama first took office and the GOP leaders openly promised to oppose anything he came up with. At the time, there were jokes that Obama should propose breathing so we could watch the Republicans asphyxiate themselves, but it seemed just […]
