Not to mention that the so-called gold dollars have no gold in them

Unfortunately, we're not the only hot country in the world.

When the circus comes to town, the carney trumps the clown.

Maybe we should invite Sergeant Preston to Washington to straighten things out.

Why, indeed?

Pardon the rudeness, but I think this captures the spirit of the Trump regime.

With all the destruction and deconstruction going on with the present cast of low lifes and incompetents crewing the Ship of State, we should expect the return of this "genius" fascist lunatic.

She's also not sure how much money would have to be poured into that black hole.
In reality, you know Trump won't be able to claim victory over Iran without erecting a public edifice.

Next time they'll pull a Welsh rarebit out of a hat.
Still, it was no surprise when Trump later told reporters, "I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk" [...] "because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for." Such a hero!

Too bad we weren't inoculated in 2024.

Is this a potentially lucrative story the corporate media won't capitalize on? Nevertheless, kudos to Capital One.

Which means we have to work even harder.

We got the point of your hearings, Rand, even if you're pointing with a different finger, but aren't the 200K+ covid deaths attributable to Trump's inaction more important than your revenge on Fauci?

His does.

Pretty awful in pink

This is the Underwood typewriter I grew up with, manufactured in 1942 during WWII. The threat of Fascism is now internal.

That deserves a Bronx Cheer!
For the sake of any children present, I decided not to use a revised version of this cartoon, one in which the gentleman who initiated this conversation responds to his friend's retort with, "Right, he does nothing incrementally, only excrementally."

The shortest distance between two regime positions is a straight lie, as the Jim Crow flies.


We must be the new patriots.

In so many ways, the funny-not-funny debacle of the reflecting pool is a metaphor for the Trump Administration and everything they touch.

That background photo may be the one critiqued for featuring a "naval incursion" - the prominent bellybutton showing above Trump's left hand.

Lest we forget!

Is this clear enough?

There is no corner of our culture, history, society, sanity, dot dot dot that this cancer is not invading, and everything it touches turns to chaos, corruption, or dust.

I had hoped the drawing was obvious enough that a title wasn't necessary, but my family thought otherwise. Then I added "Iran" to the iceberg because I thought Vance was trying to distance himself from the war.
Wonder why one funnel isn't smoking? The last stack on the Titanic was fake, added to give an aura of more power, a good analogy for the Trump regime, except all their stacks are fake.

There was more than a month between this and the one below, mostly because of a family emergency, but even after five months (the latest revision of his caption), the latter still applies. In fact, many of the earliest cartoons are more relevant now than when first penned.

This is another minimal statement on the disaster the Trump regime is precipitating in the Middle East. We are all trapped in it.

Chaos was predictable. The future in the hands of a demented toxic narcissist is not.
I admit it. I'm getting a bit shell shocked by producing cartoons, so I took the easy route to make this SHOCKing and AWEful statement. I'll get back to normal in a bit. Normal? What is that?

That's right, you don't have to know what he's saying or posting to know it's a lie or projecting or inappropriate or, as the Magliozzi brothers would say, "unencumbered by the thought process" or all of the above.

Kleptocracy, autocracy, whatever... For Trump the world is a golden goose. Unfortunately for the rest of us, he's incapable of not killing it.
Yes, these two old guys appeared in black and white in a 2/5/26 cartoon below. Now they've become their own thing, like the GOP logo in the Doublespeak Series. Somehow, whatever is in those styrofoam cups has stayed warm.

i can't exaggerate how dangerous it is that our government and military are in the hands of White Christian Nationalists convinced that Trump is Jesus's anointed instrument and that said government and military are to usher in Armageddon and the Second Coming.
Neither can I adequately illustrate the point. These last two cartoons are not trying to.
For a literate, cogent commentary on the subjec

I knew after the election we were in for existential changes, but reality keeps adding bullet points.

My reaction when I got word of Trump's newest military involvement in Iran.

I originally had Trump saying "Oops," but I realized he would never admit to an error or apologize for anything.

I revised the title from "2026 State of the Union" when I heard Robert L. Arnold, defiance13_, say in an Instagram post, "... the state of the union is not defined by the occupant of the Oval Office."
This cartoon is about only one aspect of the oval occupant, and, as the fine print at the bottom says, it is done with "Apologies to professional clowns, who are in the work of helping people"
