But, see, that makes the eggs look like a bargain!

Some police are concerned. Some aren't. Some police believe dogs can fly. We're not sure how many.

An excellent piece by Telnaes that can be taken a couple of ways. Certainly, the brutality of the lawless attacks has damaged our freedom, but you can also take Liberty as a personification of the Ame...

Wait -- Are you suggesting that a member of the Trump family might be a clueless dick? I smell a Pulitzer Prize!!!

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 1d

I've never seen a next-day article about the people who picked the wrong lottery numbers, or even about the people who picked the wrong horse in the Derby or the wrong team in the Super Bowl.

CSotD: Taking Humor Seriously

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 2d

We're taking humor seriously today, but try not to take yourself that way. Come join Arctic Circle, Arlo & Janis, Crabgrass, the Flying McCoys, Frazz, Jonesy, La Cucaracha, Pearls Before Swine & the Buckets

This Arctic Circle came the day after we were remarking that the geese seem as off-schedule as everything else this year. We’re in an extreme drought, so the foliage has been disappointing and whether...

Charlie's often this incisive, but not always this funny. Well, hard times call for hard laughter. Take a gander:

Trump is truly loyal to his adopted nation. Seems odd he deports people who are loyal to this one.

CSotD: Winners and Losers

Of all the Trump/Nobel cartoons that have appeared in the past 24 hours or so, this is the only one that really cracked me up. Cohen skips all the reasons it didn’t and shouldn’t have and couldn’t hav...

"If they can't afford plywood, some owners rebuild the store out of straw. That's when the big bad wolf comes in. Very bad guy. Radical leftist wolf. Vice-president of antifa. He comes over and he, he just blows the stores down. That's not normal. Maybe he got that way from being vaccinated."

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Don't forget to fill out your W-2 forms so you'll get paid on time, and indicate whether you prefer rubles or yuan.

Pot Pourri is French. It means we're talking about Spanish and a buncha other stuff. Come join Jimmy Margulies, Kirk Walters, Lalo Alcaraz, Lisa Benson, Michael Ramirez, Mike Luckovich, Morten Morland, Pat Byrnes & Paul Fell
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

We’ll start with an obvious news story that tells a lot about the depths to which we have plunged. As Alcaraz notes, this year’s Super Bowl gains a special regional flavor as the halftime show feature...

A meeting of the schmucks.

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 4d

I'm sure they sit around holding up their decision until the last minute, just in case somebody does something really peaceful two days before the announcement.

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 4d

If only some lazy slacker's corrupt racist daddy hadn't bailed him out of the draft with a phony letter from a tenant who never examining the sniveling coward, we'd have won!

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 5d

I wonder what outlandish promise was made to Thune that made him drop to his knees and kiss the ring. Yo! John! He's not gonna keep that one, either!

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 5d

Wapo. Hit with a block and a "please come back" popup. I ain't comin' back.

I hate to be obvious, but I'm not a subscriber. Are you?

Nobody minds an honest debate. Sure would be nice to try one. Come join Chip Bok, Dana Summers, David Horsey, Lisa Benson, Mike Smith, Nick Anderson & Steve Kelley
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

A bit of a gentle start, since things may get a little rough before we’d done. Granted, Horsey makes Russ Vought look like a mad scientist, offering America a trip in his time machine. But it could be...

Swell paywall. If it mattered to you that people read it, why not use a gift? And if it didn't, why bother?

I can tell you what's worse: Washington. You don't even have intelligent leadership anymore. They'll put an ass up. They put morons in their White House.

CSotD: Hump Day Morning Coming Down

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 6d

Happy Hump Day. Take a break from doom and have some laffs, along with Arlo & Janis, Betty, Daddy's Home, Day by Dave, Flying McCoys, Moderately Confused, Non Sequitur, Prickly City & the Duplex
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

I’m going to assume that National Mall Walking Day began in the early 80s, since it requires the kind of enclosed shopping mall that was around in those days, but was somewhat rare before and is all b...

We're being guided by spin, disinformation and blatant lies. Come examine the evidence, with Clay Bennett, Clay Jones, David Rowe, Gary Huck, Jeff Stahler, John Deering, Mike Luckovich, Pat Bagley & RJ Matson
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

It’s not this simple. As Bennett suggests, both sides are getting talking points out of the government shutdown. However, it’s unclear how much each side benefits or is damaged by the situation, in pa...
