Giant
Douche or Turd Sandwich?
I may have mentioned this before but the
random assemblage of wire-service stories and thinly-veiled
right-wing agitprop, better known as my local newspaper,
The Dallas Morning News, seemingly takes the following
approach
to its choice
of editorial cartoons:
Scan the first half-dozen responses from a Google image
search for "third-rate editorial comic" and choose
the one that offers neither humor, solutions or relatable
topics.
Then print that sucker.
It is this approach, this sad waste of newsprint, that
encouraged me to show people how it's really done and
so, on every
Monday
for
the past three years, I have collected and presented
twenty-four of the finest editorial cartoons I can find.
An event I call "The Monday Morning Editorial Satire-A-Palooza."

you're interested in the latest batch, click

if you like what you see, please come again. (Sadly,
the current batch leans heavily on gun violence, which
should come as no surprise.)

Alternate punch line of today's 'toon" "Hush.
I'm busy ignoring school shootings."
It's a subtle difference but one I waffled over for much longer than was sensible
or necessary.
-------------------
Totally non-political comment: Episode #9 of the Netflix
series "Love, Death & Robots", entitled "Jibaro", should
not be missed.
Episodes #1 and #4 are great also. But #9... perfection.

While I'm on the subject of animation I'm glad to
see the Southpark lads finally came to their senses
and decided Al Gore was right all along about Manbearpig.
