Jen Sorensen skips the clever rhetoric and metaphors and gets right to the point: Tuesday is going to tell the story. There are any number of cartoons out there about how sick everyone is of political advertisements and arguments, and I’m sympathetic, but that’s how the system works, or at least that’s how it’s supposed […]
Not sure Fiona Katauskas is being terribly helpful with this cartoon, but it’s at least comforting to know that all the low-information nitwits are not segregated into the United States, and that, if they’re also in Australia, they’re probably everywhere. Which isn’t helpful because we still have to deal with ours, but it’s also not […]
Kal Kallaugher could run this anytime, but it’s particularly relevant at the moment, as we face the twin factors of emerging technologies that make forgery and fraud easier, and political operatives who are willing to lie in your face. There have always been kooks in the world, but in addition to the gullible who believe […]
This piece by Barry Blitt has been all over social media lately, though he actually produced it May 14, after the leak but before the formal announcement of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade. It’s an encouraging idea, that women (and the rest of us) should stand up to the court, but, in […]
It’s appropriate for Tank McNamara (AMS) to lead off today, because sports coverage tends to drift between entertainment and politics, and the choice of whether to require vaccines for Broadway and sports is a bit of both. Start by saying that I’m not convinced I could catch much from the seats I could afford, but […]
The best part of this Daddy’s Home (Creators) is that he’s right, sort of. That is, we shouldn’t believe what they say, because we all use more than 10 percent of our brain, though the people who keep saying this perhaps do not. It’s appropriate that she’s on her laptop, because that’s a flowing river […]
John Deering (Creators) starts us off with a puzzler: How long do people think they’re going to be snowed in? I knew people who were without power for two weeks following the Ice Storm of 1998, but that was a major disaster and most of them were able to get out of their houses after […]
My first reaction to Michael Rameriz (Creators)‘s cartoon was that I wish he’d posted it yesterday, when I was ranting about violent movies and TV shows, because forbidding your own kids from watching such things doesn’t protect them from the influence of other kids whose parents have no idea what they’re absorbing and passing along […]
I’m going to start the day by taking Lalo Alcaraz (AMS) to task, though only on a linguistic point. “Misinformation” and “dysinformation” are separate things entirely. Misinformation is an innocent mistake. Dysinformation is purposeful, both in the sense of “deliberate” and in the sense of having a goal. Which is a good time to fly […]
Relax, Willie. I’m gonna give cartoonists another 24 hours to catch up with the Kamala Harris choice. Today, we’ll set that table at which you don’t want to talk politics. This SMBC dropped before Biden’s announcement, but still presages the wisdom we’ll see shared online over the next 83 days. According to this depressing […]
