We’ll start at the beginning, with Dick Wright digging into the History Bag for a traditional metaphor in support of Dear Leader’s lies about immigrants. Certainly you’ve seen similar cartoons, this one coming from a Viennese newspaper in 1938, celebrating Germany getting rid of its rats with a “Germany for Germans” policy, while other, more […]
In this morning’s Arlo and Janis (AMS), Arlo salutes the earlier sunrise on this first day back in Standard time. It all makes me no never mind, since I get up before anybody’s notion of daylight kicks in, though it felt good to roll over for another hour this morning. Arlo has always seemed to […]
Jeff Koterba comments on Amazon’s purchase of a health care chain, which adds to the growing collection of stuff the octopus owns. It’s not quite the same thing as a monopoly, since there’s no logical connection between Amazon’s main business as a seller of things and the health clinic’s business as a seller of services, […]

And, yes, it was as controversial as admitting that the sky is blue. But the cartoon had a short shelf life because the news did not, in fact, quash Trump’s […]
Clay Bennett plows no new ground with this piece and, as is often the case with his work, you have to sort through how much you like the art versus how much you like the message, because, aside from the caricature, check out the desk itself, the coloring, etc. But if he’d drawn it with […]
It’s probably a mistake to lead off with the funniest editorial cartoon of the day, perhaps the week, perhaps more, but Bill Bramhall knocked me out my chair with this. There is a load of brilliance in this simple drawing. Anybody could have drawn Trump with his hand in the cookie jar, and perhaps have […]
