There are scores of cartoons questioning who is the president, Donald or Elon, but I particularly like Jeff Stahler (AMS)‘s take because it suggests some sneakiness on Elon’s part, rather than a willing handover by Dear Leader. The way to get Musk out of government is not by direct demands. Trump hates being told what […]
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. That is, many of the cartoons have the ketchup spelling out words, but Ohman shows […]
It was seven years ago today that presidential candidate Donald Trump rode down an escalator to the cheers of a crowd it later turned out had been hired rather than simply assembled, which is hardly surprising, given that he was not a minor politician stepping up into a major campaign. He had plenty of fans, […]
Tom Tomorrow lays out the State of the Union, and it’s good that he goes into such detail, because a large number of cartoonists are either going into end-of-the-year round-up holiday mode or else pointing out that tornadoes are sad, leaving a reduced number of watchdogs at the gates. 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. […]
