The eyes of everyone were on Texas last night, and RJ Matson plays with the big question, which was turnout. While there is some speculation that Ted Cruz could lose his seat in the general election next fall, the primaries were seen more as a general bellwether to indicate how the nation is going as […]
So Barack Obama went to the mall to get his picture taken and he chose the pull-down ivy backdrop instead of the country one with the section of rail fence to lean on or the wall fulla books one. Then, on the way out, he stopped at the art shop and got this dry-mounted poster […]
This is actually yesterday’s Brevity, but editorial cartoons get a little break from the “same day” rule and this accidentally became an editorial cartoon when the administration announced its cunning plan to replace food stamps with “American Harvest Boxes.”Dan Thompson thereby proves that, indeed, you can make this shit up.White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney […]
Kirk Walters notes the passing of Chief Wahoo, as the Cleveland Indians — with significant prodding from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball — put to rest their outdated, insulting mascot.Well, sort of — they’ll still sell Chief Wahoo gear. They just won’t have him on their uniforms and other official stuff, which is certainly […]
I sometimes get notes from people who point out that, while the web site is called “Comic Strip of the Day,” I tend to deal with editorial cartoons a lot.So we’ll lead off today with Monty, a comic strip.The joke, of course, is that the elections aren’t rigged and we don’t actually have re-education camps.We […]
Arlo & Janis set the mood for this morning’s nearly entirely non-political posting. I’m giving myself some practical gifts this year, like new tires, and one of them was even a holiday surprise, because I didn’t expect my computer to start falling apart.But I’m with Arlo, and I think it’s Scroogey to balance your budget by […]
Jeff Danziger speaks for me. I refuse to rant today. Why bother?This administration has been a series of “I told you so” moments, and I’ve got nothing to add to this latest example, except that I hope one day we see major bills once more in which some Republicans and some Democrats vote in favor […]
Steve Sack ignores the command from Central Cartooning to quote Stuart Smalley and, instead, makes a point not so much about Franken’s situation but about the absurdity of being called out for pretending to grope one woman by a guy who was going to sue 16 women — but apparently forgot — for accusing him […]
One must acknowledge the day, or the night, and Monty rose above the many “trick or treating as Trump” cartoons to put little Montague in a Milton Friedman costume, which is much more frightening because so many in Congress snicker at the one but truly believe — against all experience and logic — in the […]
Today’s Monty got a particular laff because I was checking out a guy’s rug on TV yesterday and wondering why he would wear such a ridiculous hat, particularly since, as a guy rich enough to be on television regularly, he could probably afford a toop that looked like perhaps his own hair.I mean, I wouldn’t […]
