I’m with Katy in today’s Adam@Home. We haven’t had actual snow here lately but we’ve only had two days of warm sunshiny weather so far and even the warmish days that might have come close have, instead, featured cold winds. It might as well be March. However, the birds are back, including the cormorants, as […]
Today’s Judge Parker (KFS) has set me thinking about continuity strips, and, since there are only a few left, that puts me in the somewhat uncomfortable position of criticizing this one, which isn’t my point. I think there should be more continuity strips, because, whether they would induce people to buy newspapers, they’d at least […]
Lincoln Peirce offered a bit of critical commentary in Big Nate (AMS) yesterday. It’s no secret that a lot of comic strips have outlived their creators, but, when a cartoonist gives up a strip, what happens next varies. If a strip is not in a lot of papers, the syndicate may shut it down, but […]
I’m pretty much aligned with the grandfather in Barney & Clyde (WPWG) these days. It’s getting good in that we’ve nearly passed the “Oh, god, what’s he done this time?” factor, though CPAC provided a warning that we shouldn’t turn our backs entirely. But I don’t feel I have to tend the news constantly anymore. […]
This is as close to political cartoons as I plan to get today: Morten Morland is certainly not the first or only cartoonist to riff on the difficulty of re-adjusting to life in the office, but doing something better is an excellent defense for not having done it first. And lining them up on the […]
This isn’t a political cartoon. We don’t do political cartoons on Friday. It’s a New Yorker cartoon, a wry observation by David Sipress on life in the city and its more comfortable suburbs. And it cracked me up just as if it were a regular cartoon and not political at all, because my social networks […]
We’ll start on a relatively high intellectual plane today and then gradually glide on down to nothing at all. I was taken aback — only appropriate in a sea-faring tale — by this Rip Kirby, not because of the name “Minx,” though I associate it mostly with “Servant of Two Masters,” which is I think […]
(Rip Kirby) (Big Ben Bolt) Call this the “Juxtaposition of Nagging.” Over in the Vintage section at Comics Kingdom, Rip Kirby is just starting a new adventure, while Ben Bolt is at the climax of another. Offering these classic strips to those who pony up $20 a year to subscribe is better than a tote […]
Before we get to the main event, Pearls Before Swine has a well-timed strip today. The Manafort/Cohen news broke late enough yesterday that I’m going to give cartoonists a chance to catch up, but one difference between this and Watergate is that, in a world without gatekeepers, those who insist that laws don’t apply to […]
