Day by Dave (AMS) reminds us that today is National Tattoo Removal Day, and I suppose the way you react to that information could be an indication of your age. Whamond’s gag assumes a relationship between alcohol consumption, getting a tattoo and regret. The question isn’t whether that pattern exists. Of course it does. The […]
The answer is a lot easier than Walt Handelsman expected it to be. As noted here yesterday, the stock market is largely driven by a combination of rumors and panic, as Kal Kallaugher noted in the wake of the October 1987 crash: The good news is that Wall Street followed its worst day in two […]
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 […]
Our comment feature appears to be broken beyond repair, at least for our current platform, which inspires (finally!) a redesign, which will take a while. In the meantime, we hope you’ll give us feedback on the social media where we announce our new postings. (Illo by Henry Justice Ford) There’s a lot of political […]
Paul Fell comments on an extremely toxic part of the world we’ve built. I, too, liked it better when you could believe that false, hateful rhetoric was perhaps a misunderstanding, a difference of interpretation. What I really liked was the world referenced in this 2005 Jeff Danziger cartoon that I’ve run many times, a […]
Tom Toles (Ret.) has left behind a farewell to his readers after 18 years at the Washington Post, which might have called for a special edition of CSotD yesterday except that nearly every cartoonist in America promptly reposted it on Facebook and Twitter, making it pretty hard for comics fans to avoid anyway. Adam […]
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 […]
There are many things that Dear Leader can’t seem to understand, and Jimmy Margulies captures two of them here: One is that Trump genuinely has no sense of empathy. It’s not that he ignores or downplays the suffering of others. He genuinely does not get it. So he can cheerfully toss paper towels to people […]
Madam & Eve chimes in from South Africa with an opportunity to see ourselves as others see us. Well, we always wondered what would happen when Dear Leader had to face an actual crisis, and it’s surprising that it took three years. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic — well, from us though […]
I expected a certain amount of repetitive imagery on New Years Day, but the phrase “Out with the old, in with the new” hit on a level I haven’t seen since 1977, when the Gong Show did an entire show of people singing “Feelings.” Well, except that all of those were bad and some of […]
Ben Garrison is almost certainly the most reviled cartoonist among cartoonists, not because he is conservative — there are several conservative cartoonists in the “agree to disagree” category — but because he is ham-handed and, as seen in this recent piece, prone to concepts that, if not clinically paranoid, are at least doctrinaire to the […]
