Sunday morning toons: Each evening from December to December


Think back on all the tales that you remember – of Camelot. As run by Republicans. Hah.

Have to admit, I did not expect Harry Reid to forget about Sacred Senate TraditionTM and care about about actual functioning government, but there we are.

A frustrated Mitch McConnell says he looks forward to President Marco Rubio stacking the courts in 2016, but that's a bit like waiting for the return of the Great Prophet Zarquon.

And I'm going to keep a zip on it about the fact that there are no Doctor Who toons this week, although I know a lot of artists out there are fans. Harumph!

Today's toons were derived from a fifty year old commission report that no one – I'm serious, no one – really belives, based on the week's offerings at McClatchy DC, Cartoon Movement, Go Comics, Daryl Cagle's Political Cartoons, About.com, and other fine sources.
