Monty’s right. Nobody’s reading the paper today, and it’s only in relatively recent years that they’ve even bothered to print on holidays, which, by the way, had a lot to do with not being able to get them delivered because the kids were at Grandma’s. So you have your characters wish readers a happy whatever […]
Rich Powell starts off this panoply of humor with a wordless wonder at Wide Open (Universal), and the best part is that, while the humans are blissfully unaware, the dogs recognize kindred spirits, with perhaps a sense of having been mismatched. Well, if their people have never heard that thing about people resembling their dogs, […]
Hard on the heels of our discussion of the topic, xkcd weighs in on the matter of college commas. To be finicky, there probably is a University of Chicago comma, but it may manifest itself in its absence. They have plenty of rules about commas, but since I don’t care enough to become a member […]
A bunch of funny stuff, today and in the past several days, and well-timed given the level of not-funny stuff we’ve all been dealing with. My definition of funny has less to do with pies in the face than with things that make you laugh because you can relate to them. (My sympathies to those […]
I love the first panel of this Wallace the Brave (AMS) and I love Amelia because we didn’t have enough girls like her when I was a kid, though we voted one of them prom queen senior year which indicates that the appreciation of such women was present. The Angels sang “My boyfriend’s back and […]
Pia Guerra David Rowe A pair of rapid responses to last night’s debate: Guerra from the Canadian West Coast, Rowe from Australia, but let’s wait to see what cartoonists who work at a more deliberate pace have to say about it, not that either of these is hasty with their graphics or their thinking. IMHO, […]
We’re skipping politics for the day, but first … Rabbits Against Magic Barney & Clyde — Counterpoint I’m all in favor of comic strips commenting on politics, but lead time can trip you up and both these strips were caught off-guard by Biden’s withdrawal. Granted, however, that there are still some political cartoons up on […]
Best way to shut me up is to draw the perfect cartoon. Too Much Coffee Man has done just that. Fortunately, the effect is temporary. Matt Golding usually ends up in political cartoon postings, but this one is purely social, and let’s note that obnoxious people with leaf blowers are blowing leaves Down Under. Up […]
Good timing award to Tommy Siegel for dropping this cartoon just before Taylormania went from fascination to exploitation. The fascination was just kind of silly. As I’ve pointed out before, Taylor Swift has been a very big deal among a very big fanbase for a very long time. The original Swifties are well out of […]
Not feeling all that political today, but I got a laff out of Tommy Siegel‘s piece because it coincides with a sudden deluge of similarly dismissive editorial cartoons explaining that, despite all evidence to the contrary, those darned college kids are all anti-Semites, including the Jewish demonstrators. I don’t mind it coming from the usual […]
Yes, I know. We’ll get to it after a few more cartoonists have weighed in. For now, we’ll skip the politics and have a few laffs instead. Anyway, she’s not the only one who has suddenly popped up in a most bizarre place. Rip Haywire (AMS) is trying to figure out who he is and […]
A little political humor on a day I don’t intend to be political at all. As I’ve said before, however, the news is so absurd that it’s hard to satirize, and I appreciate Ruben Bolling for being able to do it simply by treating Donald Trump as a six-year-old, at which point his behavior becomes […]
Start with a confession: I like this Off the Mark (AMS) because, once he’s found true love, they can get married and produce blended offspring, all of which I will like more. I’ve tried a number of single malt Scotches and they’ve convinced me that wise distilleries blend their whiskies to create a better tasting […]
When I was in college, Notre Dame had a game against Tulane. I was in the reception area of a dorm at St. Mary’s when a group of people got back from the game, including a girl who had been to Pat O’Brien’s, and brought one of the bar’s special Hurricane glasses all the way […]
A local cartoon, certainly, but one that will amuse people far from Glasgow. Steven Camley notes that police there are beginning to enforce a new national law against parking on sidewalks or at curb cuts as well as double parking. Or, as he has Lovely Rita explain things in the best possible way, you can […]
