This Jason Chatfield piece could be a gag or a political cartoon, but, either way, it’s an exaggerated look at how I shop these days. I recognize that my refusal to buy Arizona Iced Tea is a personal crotchet: They’ve changed hands several times since trying to use Crazy Horse’s name on a malt liquor […]
The advantage of the Jan 6 Committee holding a hearing in prime time rather than in midafternoon was that more people were home to watch. The disadvantage for political cartoonists is that it meant they didn’t have time to respond overnight, which Deb Milbrath indicated by simply posting her notes on Facebook in an implied […]
There are a ton of ketchup cartoons this morning, but Jack Ohman gets the prize not only for having this up within about an hour of yesterday’s hearings, but for managing to frame the bizarre moment in a larger context.

The destruction in Kentucky is indeed […]
The Red Queen, who was running as fast as she could just to stay in one place, has been taken from the board, to be shortly replaced by the White Queen, who can believe six impossible things before breakfast. Yes, I know: Ann Telnaes has drawn her in good Republican red, but Elise Stefanik is […]
Political cartoons aren’t supposed to be funny except when they are, and I got a laugh out of Cathy Wilcox‘s piece, though I recognized the serious point behind it. It is, of course, a double criticism, of America’s erratic policies and of Australia’s response, and I’m betting that not all her readers at The Sydney […]
There has been a sudden flood of Liz Cheney cartoons from the left side of the aisle, and Jack Ohman (WPWG) explains why, in perhaps a roundabout way. When cartoonists from the right all start pursuing the same topic, it’s often because an influential conservative website, radio show or TV network has sounded the call. […]
