I saw the first corgi cartoon on the funny pages today, so I guess that tells us the time lag and, no, I’m not going to feature it here. But I will feature Martin Rowson’s farewell to the topic, which only has two corgis, which is quite a few less than you would get in […]
Oh, lord, I hope so. Granted, Pat Hudson is an Aussie, not a Pom, but it’s not like the wretched excess was only present in the UK, where I understand it. It was also throughout the former Commonwealth, where, as Hudson suggests, it’s reasonable. But perhaps even there, enough is enough. Deb Milbrath points […]
Granted, David Rowe is an Australian and not a proper Brit, but I take some comfort in not being the only person who has had enough of all this, and, after all, she is on his money. IMHO, he’s right on the money as well. I saw a promo for live coverage of the Queen’s […]
The headline I really wanted to use derived from a place Then-Wife worked, in which they printed up some of those pink “While You Were Out” notepads but with the heading “While You Were F****** Off,” which would be accurate for today’s discussion but inappropriate overall. To which I will add, as a dire warning, […]
Ann Telnaes asks a simple question, amid the continuing downpour of corgis and weeping guardsmen and crowns being passed around and royal hats and additional maudlin tributes to someone else’s dead monarch. The answer, of course, is that, yes, we did, and, as noted here previously, we continued for nearly 150 years to view England […]
Between the death of Queen Elizabeth and the Anniversary of 9/11, things are tedious over on the editorial pages, so we’ll stick to the funnies today. I was surprised to see this Pardon My Planet (KFS) this morning, since sensitivity might have called for pulling it, but, then again, it would have already been sitting […]
I wasn’t going to feature any of the 4,000 corgi cartoons today, but David Rowe’s is less about the dog than Prince Charles, or, I suppose, King Charles III. I just finished “The Guns of August,” Barbara Tuchman’s classic book about the opening of World War I, and what struck me in particular was that […]
A few quick shots before we descend into merriment: Jeffrey Koterba gets the Wordle Award for capitalizing on the fad without screwing things up. He’s right: Five letters. One word. Okay, “Putin” is a proper noun, but at least he didn’t show a bunch of colored boxes that don’t match the gag, which as become […]
Macanudo (KFS) gets it right. Since the election, inauguration and attempted coup, there’s been very little of any importance to complain about, but it hasn’t stopped anyone, and social media has, in lieu of people arguing over things that matter, become a torrent of people bitching and moaning over things that don’t. Wiley has […]
John Cole (Times-Tribune) bemoans Bob Dylan’s decision to sell his catalog to Universal Music, and his worry that meaningful songs will become meaningless jingles isn’t off the mark. Still, Dylan is 79 and I can understand if he feels he should get his affairs in order. I guess his choices were to set up a […]
The above pun sets a five-cartoon limit on our largest Juxtaposition ever: (Clay Bennett) (Pat Bagley) (David Rowe) (Matt) (Mike Luckovich) I have very little to add to any of these, except maybe to note on behalf of Matt Pritchett and David Rowe that I’m glad we could give them a properly British take beyond […]
