February 9, 2021 Comics and cartoons are finding new life outside of the Sunday funnies. As the art form becomes more accessible from artists posting their work online, offering artistic and creative breaks in people’s feeds, Pittsburgh cartoon artist Joe Wos wants to teach anyone, regardless of age, how to get started drawing, too. Cartoonist Joe Wos will host a cartoon teaching series on public tv. Through WQED Education and the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s “Learning at ...

Steven Clay (S. Clay) Wilson July 25, 1941 – February 7, 2021 cartoonist, artist S. Clay Wilson 7/25/1941 – 2/7/2021. He’s gone. At 4pm yesterday. I sat next to him all day yesterday, telling him stories…one of arriving here in a crowd of topless woman on Pride Day…..astonished by the nudity on the streets…..laughing at the memory of Wilson – tall & gallant – tryna help a drunk topless woman in cowboy boots down off the hood of a gleaming cadillac,holding one hand, while she g...

There are some good cartoons on the impending impeachment trial, and we’ll start with Dan Wasserman (Tribune) because he sets the scene: It’s going to require at least 17 Republicans to vote guilty in order to convict. Watergate was different in that the actions being investigated were contained within the Executive and there was little Congressional involvement. We’ll never know how an impeachment trial would have come out, but This time around, as Wasserman suggests, more Republican S...

The Oatmeal has it right: Enough already with the Bernie memes. Timing is everything and you had your chance and if you haven’t placed Bernie somewhere and posted it on social media, it’s too late now.   We’re fixated now on the horror of Joe Biden owning an expensive watch and a Peloton exercise system, which is such a contrast with the modest, monastic lifestyle of our previous president. Note that the current president favors raising taxes on the sort of people who have Rolex watches...

January 21, 2021 PARIS (AFP) — A leading French cartoonist on Wednesday said he would no longer work for Le Monde after the newspaper apologized for a cartoon he drew that tackled a sex-abuse scandal. France’s intellectual elite was rocked this month by a claim that political commentator Olivier Duhamel sexually abused his stepson, prompting social media users to speak out under the hashtag #MeTooInceste. images © Xavier Gorce In a cartoon published in Le Monde’s newsletter on Tuesd...

January 19, 2021 Pearls Before Swine (AMS) sets the mood for today’s risky choice, which is to have a few laughs while we wait for Joe and Kamala to take the wheel. It’s a risk because there’s nothing new to be said about Trump’s endgame and I don’t want to wallow in it this morning, but if political cartoonists don’t come up with some New Beginnings material, I won’t have much in the larder tomorrow. Note that panel was 11/3, but hardly 2020. Still, we’ll take our chances....

January 15, 2021 David Cohen feels honored to serve the citizens of Asheville, North Carolina as the editorial cartoonist for local issues. Today he took a few inches to thank them for their forbearance. In the early 80s I submitted some work to the then editorial page editor, Rick Gunter. He took a few, and for about a month I was the paper’s cartoonist! Obviously, that didn’t last very long. It wasn’t until 2006 that I tried again. I submitted some more work to the editorial board,...

I suppose Michael de Adder (Ind) sums it up best: We’ve gone off the rails and Dear Leader continues to sit there tweeting away. The question now being not so much “So what?” as “Now what?”   Clay Bennett (CTFP) jokes about a photocopier simply running off pardons indiscriminately. If only we were right. If Trump were simply handing out pardons at random, to all comers, it might fit in with his bizarre resistance to the Covid Relief Bill, which seems aimed at making him look like a ...
