I’m not doing political cartoons today, but here’s one anyway. I like Patrick Chappatte’s effort at attempting to suggest a cabinet appointment more ridiculous and inappropriate than the ones that are really being proposed. But I think it’s because the art is particularly appealing. A lot of cartoonists are trying, and failing, to come up […]
Jen Sorensen skips the clever rhetoric and metaphors and gets right to the point: Tuesday is going to tell the story. There are any number of cartoons out there about how sick everyone is of political advertisements and arguments, and I’m sympathetic, but that’s how the system works, or at least that’s how it’s supposed […]
Our first conflict was brought forth in part by this morning’s Tank McNamara (AMS) and in part by my having missed the first three weeks of the football season and not feeling all that bad about it. There was a point at which I would agree with the fellow suggesting a three-concussions-and-you’re-out approach, and I […]
Ann Telnaes combines her anguish over the crackdown on women’s rights under the reconstituted Afghan government with her fury over the assault on women’s rights and dignity by JD Vance and his misogynistic followers. Don’t say “It can’t happen here,” because it’s already happening here with the overturning of Roe v Wade, cutbacks to freedom […]
David Cohen comments on Louisiana’s “police buffer law,” which went into effect this month and prohibits reporters or others at the scene of an incident being within 25 feet of an officer who has ordered them back. This seems like a solution in search of a problem, unless the problem you’re attempting to solve is […]
We’re not doing political cartoons today, but let’s start with something blatantly political: This past Sunday’s Non Sequitur (AMS). Danae is not alone in her attitude, which is a weakness of the system. When I was going through some newspapers from 1898, I came across an opinion piece by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in which she […]
I had no intention of highlighting any more Kissinger cartoons, since they have all been pretty much the same, and, as I noted in yesterday’s round-up, he was Jewish and therefore would have barely expected to appear before the Pearly Gates at all, and certainly not in front of St. Peter. But Peter Brookes manages […]
The world is full of weighty matters, but we’re going to, in the words of Eddy Arnold, make the world go away and get it off our shoulders. And, yes, I know it was written by Hank Cochran, but this is being written by me and we’re not picking nits today. Okay, we are. But […]
Pros and Cons (KFS) relies on three main characters: Samuel, the incompetent attorney; Stan, the somewhat brutish but kind-hearted cop and Lyndon, the psychiatrist continuously flummoxed by the twisted egos of his patients. Today, Lyndon has inadvertently led one of his regulars down the wrong garden path, hoping to shame him into taking control and, […]
