Since I don’t follow Canadian politics closely, I’m not sure if the Fat Cat in Bruce MacKinnon’s commentary on the plan to raise interest rates is anyone in particular, but it doesn’t matter: The rich powerful guy is making major decisions about global policies and the homeless guy is just worried about his next meal. […]
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 […]
Drew Sheneman offers an imaginary scenario, “imaginary” in that I wonder how many people are really going to toss their jobs in the gutter over something so petty and foolish, even in a labor shortage? As has been said here before, a lot of older workers have chosen early retirement, because the disruption of the […]
As noted here yesterday, the GameStop gambit was not pulled off by youngsters, but I got a laff out of Dave Whamond (Cagle)‘s cartoon anyway, because, regardless of whodunnit, the targets were, indeed, pigs. Not because they are rich. I know some rich people who got there honestly and ethically. But I’m not the […]
Mike Marland (Ind) asks the questions I’d also like an answer to. The least of them, I would say, is in the bottom left-hand corner: “Why are you so hateful, gullible and in many cases, so downright stupid?” It’s not an interesting question, because it’s about a factor we should have known about all along. […]
Leading off with a graphic summary by Graeme Bandeira (Yorkshire Post). A slight criticism: I think the caption detracts from the impact, but, then again, viewing us from across the Atlantic likely makes our willingness to execute people seem part and parcel of an uncivilized character. Paul Thomas (Daily Mail) being perhaps a bit […]
I was almost tempted to simply post Marco De Angelis (Cartoon Movement)‘s cartoon and leave it at that. But I can’t demand cartoonists step up if I fail to. Cartoonists faced a challenge yesterday. The riots called for a quick response and the quick response was “stunned,” which is not an answer. The standard […]
I suppose Michael de Adder (Ind) sums it up best: We’ve gone off the rails and Dear Leader continues to sit there tweeting away. The question now being not so much “So what?” as “Now what?” Yesterday, I joked about an Oprah-style rally where everyone who attended got a pardon, and Clay Bennett (CTFP) […]
Michael de Adder (Lincoln Project) provides a ridiculous look at a ridiculous effort, and he’s not the first cartoonist to invoke the “clown car” analogy in the current storm of preposterous appeals against mathematics, logic and law. But I like his use of state flags, because, while the drawing itself is silly, what isn’t funny […]
Steve Sack gets the lead-off today because he nailed the target amid a forest of lukewarm rainbows. It’s all well and good to draw a rainbow flag or show the Supreme Court building or the nation or whatever swathed in rainbows, but Sack makes two critical points: First, by using Justice hugging that rainbow flag, […]
Mike Thompson leads off today’s roundup of graphic commentary on Congressional Republicans’ assault on the United States government, not only because it’s a dramatic image but because he points out the hypocrisy of the GOP pose of favoring “law and order” when the law is on their side, and ignoring it when it is not. […]
RJ Matson offers one of the more neutral cartoons regarding Michael Cohen’s planned appearance today before the House Oversight Committee. Cohen blew a previous plea bargain by lying, and, as all fans of “Law & Order” (the TV show, not necessarily the concept) know, it’s standard procedure to attempt to impeach any witness — even an […]
Good Timing Award I got a major Update message the other day from Lenovo, so I don’t know if it was their upgrade or Microsoft’s, but after it was installed, my laptop began freezing up. The next day, I saw an “Update and Shut Down” prompt as I logged off, which made me think they’d […]
