Although, of course, he was talking about bringing war criminals to justice.
Meanwhile, if you're a political cartoonist and
all you had to offer on Wednesday was a graphic way of saying that
the Republicans won big on Tuesday, or the Democrats lost big, you
probably didn't make the p3 cut today.
On the other hand, I think we're all
glad that it's been a while since we saw any jokes about
Democratic candidates or trick-or-treaters in hazmat suits, or bucket
challenges.
Today's toons were selected by an
extraordinarily small turnout from the week's offerings at McClatchy
DC, Cartoon Movement,
Go Comics, Politico's
Cartoon Gallery, Daryl
Cagle's Political Cartoons, About.com,
The Nib, and other fine
sources of toony goodness.

Markstein.
p3 Certificate of Harmonic Toon
Convergence: Stuart
Carlson, Bob
Englehart, and Robert
Ariail. (Honorable Mention: R.
J. Matson, who only needed some version of the "What now?"
thought balloon to make the cut)
p3 World Toon Review: Patrick
Chappatte (Switzerland) and Dr.
Meddy (Tanzania).
Ann Telnaes suggests that pork
is going to have a new meaning in DC. (That's the voice of former
pig-castrator, Michelle Bachmann stunt double, and US Senator-elect
Joni Ernst, from the electorally-indispensable state of Iowa, by the
way.)
Mark Fiore presents: The
Last Campaign Ad Ever. It isn't going where you think.
Tom Tomorrow elaborates on a
point we've made more than once here at p3:
When it comes to risk assessment, Americans
are the worst.
Keith Knight goes to a
very dark place.
Tom the Dancing Bug says,
The
answer is simple! Science!
Red Meat's The Old Cowboy
re-evaluates
his career trajectory.
The Comic Strip Curmudgeon
reminds us that Saturdays in Beetle Bailey are for Crushingly
Depressing Halftrack Episodes.
Get your curmudge on.
Comic Strip of the Day muses on
the
interconnectedness of all things, including a near-stabbing, the
Buckinghams, and a pattern I noticed too (see above).
Goofy's Glider was directed by
Jack Kenney in 1940, with uncredited voice work by George Johnson (as Goofy)
and John McLeish (as the narrator). If
my sources are right, this isn't the first Goofy "how-to"
short, but it's the first one with the narrator, which is the way
most of us remember that series. And, as Roger Rabbit said, "Goofy
is a GEE-NIUS!" This short is dedicated to my pilot friends.
The Big, And Getting Bigger Since We
Threw Out The Rulebook and Welcomed Back The Departed, Oregon Toon
Block:
Ex-Oregonian Jack Ohman foresees
the pedal
getting put to the metal.
Hypothetically Ex-Oregonian Jen
Sorensen identifies a
resurgent class of predators. And they aren't timber wolves, who
would certainly resent the comparison deeply. (Also, this is a topic
we've written
about before. And the irony is that when these predators were
driven out of Oregon, these
often filled the ecological niche.)
Matt Bors says,
if you can't stop harassment, monetize it! (And MB's right to make
the guy from Match.com seem only slightly less creepy, in his own
way, as the catcaller.)
Jesse Springer examines the
intersection of politics,
economics, and lived time:
Test your toon captioning mojo at The
New Yorker's weekly caption-the-cartoon
contest. (Rules here.)
