Jack Ohman (Tribune) offers a combination of the mundane and the insightful. It seems 90% of the conversation about Trump’s rally was about the first tasteless joke by the first tasteless speaker. Not only did everyone ignore the parade of white supremacists and assorted bigots who followed Tony Hinchcliffe, but few of them bothered to […]
The woman in this Steve Kelley (Creators) cartoon asks an excellent question. I blame the Civil Rights Movement. Once Black people began to speak up and assert their right to a place in society, all sorts of people began wondering why they needed to keep their eyes downcast and accept being either ignored or bullied.

Innocent ignorance is easy. Intentional ignorance is beginning to take some real effort. Particularly when Presidential paranoid […]
This is going to be a text-heavy blog, so let’s warm up first with a couple of cartoons. (Oh, it’s also going to feature more cartoons I disagree with than usual, but we can take that up next month in Columbus.) For instance, I greatly admire the work of Jack Ohman, but here he […]
I’m as distracted as Mo — this has been quite a weekend, and if the worst outcome is a chunk of pineapple in your martini, you got away with a better taste in your mouth than the rest of us. It’s even worse than this. Ann Telnaes apparently drew this one before Trump first failed […]
