As usual, I can’t separate politics from humor, and Private Eye doesn’t often try. Here’s the cover of their latest issue, and I was already sick of the memes based on that photo, so their playing with it amuses me. There’s also an AI animation of the scene, in which Zelenskyy stands up and flattens […]
Another of those “no politics” days where you can’t avoid some politics. I like the notion of anything with a foreign country in its name being more expensive, and the idea of companies charging tariffs on things that shouldn’t have tariffs is funny. Except if it happens, and maybe it did and maybe it didn’t. […]
This was amusing when it ran last week, but not nearly as funny as RFK Jr has made it seem since. Either he’s becoming less guarded in his statements or else his jumbled logic, which doesn’t really qualify as logic, is building to a crescendo. There’s more measles popping up around the country, which isn’t […]
Wikipedia confirms my hunch that Lucky Charms was the first cereal to start adding candy. My skepticism over the move is likely because I was 14 when they were introduced and so somewhat above the fray. Our mother had a rule that we could only have two cereal boxes open at a time: One sugared, […]
I’m always surprised when I stumble across one of those Captchas that wants you to click on picture boxes. It’s like getting into a car and realizing it has a choke, except that you never get into a car with a choke unless you’re at an antique car show. Which is to say, it’s like […]
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground, and I’m kind of surprised that anybody had time to respond, given that Dear Leader pulled the plug at two in the afternoon, so we’ll give some other cartoonists a chance to catch up. And speaking of catch-up, we’re in good hands, because our Secretary […]
No April Fool’s gags as such today, given how predictable they are each year, but Dave Coverly has managed to stumble onto a case of “It’s funny, ’cause it’s true,” which will do just as well. Behold the 30-meter hollow concrete head of Fernando Marcos, which rose over a planned golf course and resort in […]
I never noticed until just now that slaughter is just laughter with an S at the front end. There’s probably a clever aphorism somewhere in there, but I can’t think of one. Perhaps the woman in this cartoon can tell us, since I think she’s about to get smarter. I recently mentioned the Re-education Camps […]
We have had a couple Advance Locals (MLive Media and The Post-Standard) inform us of their coming revisions to the comics pages with Jim Glick, Director of Enterprise Content & Design for Print at Advance Local, giving further details in comments at both items linked above. Now The Cleveland Plain Dealer/cleveland.com has given their readers […]
The MLive Media Group has announced it is adding comic strips to their print editions. Two new comics to their Sunday Funnies and 12(!) to their daily comics pages: Starting March 18, our eight Michigan newspaper titles are adding 8 new comic strips to our Sunday newspaper lineup – 6 will be available in our […]
Dave Coverly gets the Crystal Ball Award for having drawn this piece godknowswhen but well before Dear Leader declared himself a king and got plenty of pushback. It wasn’t French Revolution level pushback, mind you, despite his having echoed the Sun King who reportedly said, “L’Etat c’est moi,” which is cousin to “He who saves his Country does not […]
The doctor is correct: There’s a lot of bad news going on and not a lot of good news, and all sorts of mostly depressing things to cartoon about. The problem is that the political cartoons don’t have much impact if you don’t pause once in awhile. So here we are, and I’d remind you […]
Very strange Speed Bump (Creators) this past Sunday. The dog in the space suit seemed the focal point, and it was only after I read the caption and agreed with it that I noticed both men were looking up and got the intended point. I hate people who go all technical on a cartoon, but […]
Baby Blues (AMS) offers a last New Year’s gag as we start to settle into 2025, and once more raises the question I’ve asked before: Do people still get bonuses? I know they do in stock trading circles, so maybe that’s what Daryll does, though he’s sure around the house more than most go-getters, and […]
Wallace the Brave (AMS)‘s Mom decides that a snow day should be a snow day. I feel that education is very valuable, and I suspect she does, too, but snow days are also important and, besides, between the digital divide and power outages, you wouldn’t achieve perfect attendance and the day would be a waste […]
