Thanks for coming, and don’t forget to tip your waitress. Okay, I’ve got more to say, but Tom the Dancing Bug certainly did a lot of the heavy lifting, and I’d note his inclusion of a “temperature lowerer,” which suggests that this is a post-assassination-attempt effort or at least that Bolling added an edit before […]
Political cartoonists got a bit of a break in that they could draw cartoons about Putin’s re-election just about any time and then put things on autopilot and take a vacation when the election actually took place. But Patrick Chappatte makes a good point in that Putin himself seems to be on autopilot, neither caring […]
With today being Super Bowl Sunday and tomorrow Valentine’s Day, cartoonists are under some pressure to cite one or the other, but, before we get into forced timing, here’s a bit of the serendipitous kind: This Arctic Circle (KFS) actually ran yesterday but was surely written and drawn before thugs in big rigs were a […]
Pat Bagley borrows a well-known line from “1984” to point out the unspeakable lies being put forth by the Republicans, and, while he specifies his home-state Utah’s branch, it was the text from the Republican National Committee that classified trespassing, assaulting police officers, theft, vandalism and crapping on the floor as “legitimate political discourse.” It’s […]
I wasn’t sure whether to start or end with Matt Wuerker‘s cartoon, but I think it does serve to set the scene as well as to wrap it up. The Trump Whirlwind is a brilliant piece of graphic personification, but let me belabor the storm metaphor for a moment, because, as we watch Louisiana dig […]
Peter Brookes leads us off today with a commentary on the bizarre mashup of celebration and disaster surrounding the Republican National Convention, which, as several people have noted, is unusual because an incumbent president is basing his appeal on the horrific condition of the nation he has been leading. We sure aren’t hearing Republicans ask, […]
Dave Brown indulges in what I think is a perfectly valid case of whataboutism, as the Republican Party and its Dear Leader ignore the beam in their own eye to attack the mote in Joe Biden’s. Only, as his parallel drawings suggest, there isn’t even much of a mote. For Trump and his myrmidons, it’s […]
I’ll confess (A) I didn’t stay up for the RNC, it being hard enough to get up at 4 AM to get this blog together and (B) I certainly saw more than enough clips this morning of Don Jr’s girlfriend screaming. And I saw that Herschel Walker endorsed the fellow who, lest we forget, should […]
PBS videos Rob Rogers (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and Scott Stantis (Chicago Tribune) engaged in a “draw off.”
At least two editorial cartoonists are covering the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL. The local cartoonist at the convention is Andy Marlette of the Pensacola News Journal. Flying in from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is Rob Rogers. From Andy’s coverage: The halls are filled with star-shirted delegates from Texas, camouflaged-capped NRA members, at least one […]
