I do.
Bill Clinton/Ashley Madison adultery
jokes are so 1992. Grow up.
And we get it that Trump is the
Republican id run wild. What else have you got?
And that Amazon is a dreadful place to
work for.
Jared the Subway Mascot prison rape
jokes are not even remotely funny. Get a life, guys.
And Trump is the only candidate the
Village Media cares about, unless it's a Democrat who's sliding in
the polls (you know who!).
Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter is facing death
by metastatic cancer with more grace and dignity than . . . no good
contemporary example at the presidential level comes to mind. So
let's focus, people.
Today's toons were selected by a complete crapshoot from the week's offerings at McClatchy
DC, Cartoon Movement,
Go Comics, Politico's
Cartoon Gallery, Daryl
Cagle's Political Cartoons, About.com,
and other fine sources of toony goodness.
p3 Picks of the week: Mike
Luckovich, Tim
Eagan, Phil
Hands, Glenn
McCoy, Jim

Wilkinson, Matt
Wuerker, and Monte
Wolverton.
p3 Best of Show: Jeff
Danziger.

Heller.
p3 World Toon Review: blah
Ann Telnaes presents . . . oh
dear.
Mark Fiore reminds us that
things first went wrong
in 1872.
Tom Tomorrow explains why it is
that some
guys just don't get it. And they formed a political party.
Keith Knight celebrates
a
legend five decades in the making.
Reuben Bolling isn't
kind enough to to the heirs of the literary and commercial estate
of Lee Harper. Not by a long shot.
Red Meat's Bug-Eyed Earl makes
an honest mistake.
The Comic Strip Curmudgeon finds
a New Testament joke in a
panel I didn't get then and only somewhat get now. It must be all
the extra time he spends with strips like The Wizard of Id
that I don't.
Comic Strip of the Day weighs
in – fairly,
I think – on Ted Rall's current state of affairs.
Oh, Mister Warner – I'm back!
The sleeping pill gag ("Take Dese and Dose") got "The
Big Snooze" taken out of syndication, although the wolf cry "How
Oo – o – o – ld is she?" skated right on past the censors.
Draw your own conclusions and consider yourself warned. Directed in
1946 by Robert Clampett (uncredited, surprisingly, although it was
his last short for WB and he finished it after his contract ended, so
that may have something to do with it), from a story by Warren Foster
(also uncredited), with voice work by Portland's own Mel Blanc (Bugs
and the wolf) and Arthur Q. Bryan (uncredited, as Elmer). The
hollow-log gag is probably the best-executed example of the genre.
Watch
"The Big Snooze" at DailyMotion.
The Reasonably Proportioned Oregon Toon
Block:
Ex-Oregonian Jack Ohman has that
image you can't stop seeing.
Quite Possibly Ex-Oregonian Jen
Sorensen explains why
your produce can be used as a candle.
Matt Bors confuses
poor political tactics for impoliteness.
I spent yesterday afternoon looking at
the smoked-up air and smelling the scent of forest fires about
seventy miles away. So maybe Jesse Springer is right:
Yellow-orange
really is the new black.
