Paul Fell comments on an extremely toxic part of the world we’ve built. I, too, liked it better when you could believe that false, hateful rhetoric was perhaps a misunderstanding, a difference of interpretation. What I really liked was the world referenced in this 2005 Jeff Danziger cartoon that I’ve run many times, a […]
Real Life Adventures (AMS) is more of an “Ain’t it the truth?” strip than a “Fall on the Floor” laugh-a-thon, and here Wise and Aldrich tap into something universal in the pandemic. My own pup, Suzi — seen here at the right in a conference with two of her friends from the park — knows exactly […]
Matt Davies (AMS) cartoons for Newsday, which makes Andrew Cuomo his governor, which gives him standing to address the current issue. There are 23 Democratic governors and 27 Republican governors, by the way, which is relevant within their states and not all that relevant elsewhere. In the case of NY, it means that, […]
Lola (AMS)‘s stubbornness notwithstanding, the start of March hardly marks the start of Spring. Except in Australia, where seasons begin the first of the month instead of on the solstices and equinoxes which should probably be equinoces. The more important thing is that Spring doesn’t start there on March 1 because it starts on September […]
Andertoons (AMS) rekindles a real hatred of mine, because, when I was a little kid, I looked forward to the part of Art Linkletter’s House Party where that simpering sack of s*** rewarded children for showing off. Bill Cosby took over the franchise in later years, but by then (A) I’d recovered from the notion […]
Francis (AMS) leads today because, for all the bonding in a hyperconnected world, we Americans are still awfully fixated on ourselves. There was a time when one of the wire services here did a “Top 10 Stories of the Year” list each January, and they finally came under fire for including US sporting events and […]
Wiley Miller somewhat overstates things in today’s Non Sequitur (AMS), but, then again, overstatement is part of the cartoon toolbox, and, if he’s laying it out in starkly binary terms, he’s certainly correct that anyone who can’t see the choices is astonishingly clueless. Rob Rogers (Ind) keeps it on this earthly plain, and the […]
I saw Jeff Stahler (AMS)‘s cartoon before I saw reports of the terrorist assault on the Biden campaign bus in Texas, which was cheered by Dear Leader. Before I caught that context, I thought that, while it was a little strong, I agreed that I’m sick and tired of rightwingers conflating patriotism and the flag […]
It’s not often I find myself agreeing with Steve Kelley (Creators), but I sure like this one. Now, let’s not start planning a wedding or anything: I suspect his opinion is tinged with an urge to defend Mike Pence against foolish criticism, while mine is more of an urge to defend political cartooning against foolishness […]
Yes, it’s Bastille Day, and Arlo & Janis are celebrating in their backyard, which is where everyone celebrates these days. However, Arlo treads a fine line in saying “No one actually knows” if French fries were invented in Belgium, because the Belgians not only know but if this lockdown ever eases up, you can go […]
Texas Governor Rick Perry has demanded an apology from the Sacramento Bee after it ran a cartoon by their cartoonist Jack Ohman depicting the Texas governor boasting of booming business followed by a depiction of an explosion. Last week, a fertilizer plant explosion killed 14 people in the Lone Star State. In a letter to […]
