Tom Tomorrow and I seem to be on the same page. I don’t mean on the same ideological page, though I agree with everything here. But there is, at the moment, an over-supply of things to comment on, several of which don’t require a lot of attention but still ought to be said, which he […]
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, […]
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but he’s not entitled to his own facts,” a custom more honour’d in the breach than the observance. So we’ll start today with Gary Varvel (Creators)’s cartoon, an attack that has also started popping up on social media, so not simply Varvel’s […]
Steve Bell starts today’s discussion with a demand, backed with a depiction of the atrocities left in the streets of Bucha by the retreating Russian army. A simple depiction, for which he is to be commended, but not at all a simple demand, though it’s hard to disagree with on principle, even in Bell’s British […]
Tom Tomorrow scores in an increasingly difficult sector of the editorial cartooning world. Altie cartoonists like him, like Tom the Dancing Bug, Matt Bors, Jen Sorensen, have carved out a niche in which they use multi-panel cartoons to make a point through reductio ad absurdum fantasies. It was an easier gig back when politics and […]
Ed Wexler explains it all, again, clearly, for those who weren’t paying attention: Mueller testified to what was in the report, as he said he would. He was clear about this in the weeks leading up to his appearance, and he was quite clear about the limits of his testimony in the hearing itself: So […]
About the time I hit “Publish” this morning, Robert Mueller will be taking his oath and beginning to testify, and a lot of pundits and cartoonists will either look like prophets or nitwits, depending on what happens next. I would add that most cartoonists facing a seventh game of the World Series or an election […]
I still don’t understand how deadlines work for political cartoonists. There are cartoonists leaping to the fray with each wrinkle in the news and there are those who draw cartoons that sit for weeks. Sure, some are full-time and some have other duties, but do the cartoonists in that second group really have no ability […]
RJ Matson offers one of the more neutral cartoons regarding Michael Cohen’s planned appearance today before the House Oversight Committee. Cohen blew a previous plea bargain by lying, and, as all fans of “Law & Order” (the TV show, not necessarily the concept) know, it’s standard procedure to attempt to impeach any witness — even an […]
Moderately Confused mostly got a chuckle today because, while I don’t play the fiddle, or even the violin, I am convinced that “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is probably an annoyingly simple song to play. I base this theory on the number of clearly crapola garage-country bands that feature it, and the fact that, […]
