CSotD: Delta Force

Michael de Adder spins Melania’s husband’s TIME cover, marking her part in our shattered dialogue, but don’t laugh too hard.If you dare to think you’re not part of the problem, then you’re surely not part of the solution.It’s not just a jacket. It’s a fashion statement about us, and about the society we’ve built, that goes […]

CSotD: Friday Funnies

I’m not too sure about parchment paper, but bulldog clips — as seen in this Barney & Clyde – are the greatest. For the cost of one of those plastic bag clips that will break the first time it is dropped, you can get a whole jar of bulldog clips that will hold bags closed and will […]

CSotD: Long, long division

Steve Benson notes that Trump has made a U-turn, and, suddenly, a lot of current political cartoons are outdated.I won’t miss the recurring Statue of Liberty images. It was an excellent way to show our rejection of America’s core values, and then it was a reminder and then it was just an indication that editorial cartoonists […]

CSotD: Things that made me go hmmmm

Today’s Big Nate is part of a story arc on the topic of Prank Day, which I guess is a thing. Not only is it featured in a syndicated comic strip — which is my definition of when something becomes a thing — but I remember about 15 years ago when kids swiped a real […]

CSotD: That which is orange

Let’s start with the Birthday Boy, because it’s one of the few bright spots in the day.Garfield turns 40 today and there’s a hoohah going on including a book and a lot of coverage.Rather than simply steal his links, I’m going to let DD Degg provide them.But I will add to his collection the interview I […]

CSotD: Corrective Cartooning

When I came across this Sarah Glidden piece (h/t Matt Bors) yesterday, I thought about adding it to my Father’s Day post as an update. But I quickly realized it was too well-done and important and needed to be a stand-alone here.Go read the rest. I’ll wait.This is brilliant, insightful, self-deprecating stuff and I wish […]

CSotD: Farther’s Day

Alex Hallatt may have just been going for the pun in today’s Arctic Circle, but it struck me another way, which is one of the perils of cartooning.In 2007, I wrote a newspaper serial story for the New York News Association, a piece of historical fiction set in New York City in the 1890s and […]

CSotD: Saturday Short Takes

Bruce Plante expresses the most honest opinion of the Inspector General’s Report, which is that both sides can find plenty to dislike in it.Though, while he’s certainly right, both sides are instead claiming victory, which generally suggests three things:One is that the report is long and, while not extraordinarily complex, has found problems in how the […]

CSotD: Friday Funnies … in a minute

If you follow comic news at all, you are likely aware that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette finally quit torturing Rob Rogers and fired him yesterday.Rather than recoup it all, here are some links to coverage: Michael Cavna at Comic Riffs, Rob Tornoe at Philly News, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and the Post-Gazette itself.Plus, confirming what I wrote […]

CSotD: What’s on your flagpole?

Juxtaposition of the Day (Arctic Circle) (Frazz)We’ll start with two gags based on misunderstanding the meaning of Flag Day, and then move on to misunderstandings that aren’t in the least funny.And let me disclose right up front that I am an old fart, old enough that I found these two strips funny because I come […]
