More journalists have reportedly been killed in Gaza than died in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Ukraine combined. It's no accident.

CSotD: Mondays With Mildred I could do an entire day of cartoons in which Trump and Putin discuss the Ukraine war while Zelenskyy remains out of the conversation. It seems nobody in the world thinks it’s fair or right for the in...

We need heroes, but all we get is Mildred Montag and her small circle of friends. Ah well, that's the way of the world. Come join Ben Sargent, Fiona Katauskas, Jen Sorensen, Matt Wuerker, Rick McKee & Tjeerd Royaards

CSotD: Saturday Morning Comics Again I was playing around in 1935 newspapers and came across this Art Krenz illustration with the tale of the tape for the upcoming fight between Max Baer (yes, Jethro’s father) and Joe Louis. Sports carto...

YouTube video by Chris Nahhas The In-laws (1979) Richard Libertini (General Garcia)

Every story about new decor in the White House makes me think of General Garcia and Pepe. Probably an insult to the General.

What the White House really needs is some giant wooden salad forks to hang on the walls. Maybe some sad clown pictures, preferably on velvet.

CSotD: Trump l’Oeil The difference between trompe l’oeil and Trump l’oeil is that the first is an artistic technique that relies on the skill of the artist to create an illusion, while the second is a political technique...

Trump l'oeil is an illusion that relies on the loyalty of the viewer to be convincing. Come join Bill Bramhall, Deb Milbrath, Graeme MacKay, Joel Pett & Matt Wuerker plus several Great Pretenders.

CSotD: The Adventures of the Stable Genius There was a flurry of cartoons and wisecracks yesterday after Dear Leader appeared on the White House roof and wandered around for a bit, talking to the press below. I don’t know that it really indica...

CSotD: It’s A Hump Day After All I would assume that these guys don’t talk much about work at home, but, then again, I don’t know what they would talk about. Maybe they don’t talk at all. I’ve known a number of cops, but that’s diffe...

CSotD: The World Begins Another Week We’ve had some smoky days here, but — looking at the AirNow.gov map — nothing like what they’re seeing in the Midwest and certainly not what they’re seeing in large swaths of Canada. We had readings o...

CSotD: Par For The Course The countermeasures indeed do not seem to be working, though a cynic would suggest that the whole matter might fade and become yesterday’s news if Dear Leader would stop saying things that keep it fro...

CSotD: Obsessions, Promises, Threats Matson gets mileage out of Dear Leader’s obsession over windmills, melding it with his obsessions over Obama, though neither have much real-world impact on him. The Obama thing likely stems from the f...

Phew! I was afraid that we were running out of ways to piss off Candians.

Phang: We hear this a lot from Republicans, “Oh, well, they came here illegally.” He went to a port of entry. He made an appointment, showed up for that appointment, had a future court hearing scheduled, and was also applying for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). What more was he supposed to do?

CSotD: Reluctant Singer but Eager Lobbyists Deering quotes a familiar piece of doggerel, enlivening it with looks of consternation that end in panic, which well replicates how Dear Leader has gone from shrugging off the Epstein issue into a sho...

It's the singer, perhaps not a song, but a hearty chorus of "Yes, Boss" from lobbyists and loyalists. Come join Dave Granlund, Jack Ohman, John Auchter, John Deering, Lalo Alcaraz, Lisa Benson, Max Espinoza, Michael Ramirez, Paul Fell & Peter Broelman

The hard part for a reporter was making sure the right stories got enough clicks to turn up at the top of social media nationally, but that task went to the fellow who reported on city council. He was able to steer all coverage and make sure people liked and shared it.

Yeah, when I was a reporter one of my jobs was to oversee how the editors of my paper ran things. Later, I got promoted to control whole newspaper chains and TV networks. I worked hard to make sure they all stayed on task, but I still had time to do interviews of my own and put them on Page One.

Be patient. His plans will go into place as soon as the last Gazan has been killed.

2. Confidence in Trump Across 24 nations, a median of 34% have confidence in Trump, while 62% do not. Trump receives lower ratings than Biden did in many countries surveyed.

Oh would some power the giftie gee us, to see ourselves as others see us! Here's what the Pew Center found out about Dear Leader's image abroad, and, consequently, our own.

Trump Is Trying to Hide the Cost of Renovating His New Air Force One The administration transferred nearly $1 billion dollars to a Pentagon project, but those funds will be used to renovate Trump's "flying palace."

The administration transferred nearly $1 billion dollars to a Pentagon project to modernize nuclear weapons, but those funds will be used to renovate Trump's "flying palace."

Answering the question, "Who do you gotta suck around this place to get ahead?"

Hey, if he's willing to earn it the same way ...

CSotD: Who cares? (With an answer!) There is a “Why all the surprise?” element to our current situation. A large part of it has to do with siloing, with the fact that, in today’s media market, there are a good number of people who only ...

Not the first time she's done this. She's the real deal.

Battles of the mind: drawing Ukraine in this endless war | Ella Baron The Guardian Opinion cartoonist reports on lives for ever changed by conflict

One of my favorite cartoonists went to see for herself what she wanted to draw. Not the first time she's done that. Her report is heartbreaking and wonderful, as is the art with which she accompanies it.
