While, as noted here before, too many cartoonists are going on about “the only shooting incident that really matters,” others are attending to the nation’s business, and there are issues that deserve continued discussion.Above, Ann Telnaes comments on the presidents’ rejection of our justice system, and the best part of this cartoon is its optimism: […]
Paul Ryan’s bizarre defense of the President has struck a lot of people as funny, at least in the peculiar sense if not the ha-ha sense, and Kevin Siers makes a nice meld of Ryan’s loyal explanation that his party’s figurehead is simply incompetent with Trump’s delusional sense of self-importance.It’s an example of a style […]

Let’s warm up with a little Sally Forth, in which Hilary’s off-again-on-again garage band has been booked to play a school dance.On first take, it reminds me of college radio, in which there seems invariably to be disk jockeys intent on playing the most obscure stuff they can dig up, on the apparent premise that […]
