Looney Toons


I don' know boutchall but this was a difficult week for me. I had trouble keeping up.

Mambo's rising fortunes also eclipsed Marge Traitor Greene, who was suddenly making a ridiculous amount of sense as she signed out of Congress. Not about everything, but fer sure about the Death Star of David. And the Eps Files.

The entire week-long love parade through the Oval was weird.


But as bad a week as T-Piggy had, the Guards Of Pedos had a worse one.
Seems like a real shit-or-go-blind moment for them ("Should we be Nazis or plain vanilla antisemites? Tough call"). Democrats went out of their way to torpedo their champion with a Congressional condemnation but the grassroots appear to be finding their footing. This one below hits like ridicule but isn't; see the rest of the Xeet thread.


Although the gaslighting about ceasefires, the stalling of fossil fuel-consuming nations in the face of imminent climate emergencies, and the issues of affordability of anything and everything persist.

'Fortunes Flip-Flop' Toons


When last we looked in on Democracy's Heroes, they were celebrating the fruits of their unified electoral labor in The City That Never Sleeps. Unfortunately Donkeys then did what they always do, and the threadbare cliches about snatching defeat from victory had to be powered up again.
But then Adelita Grijalva was sworn in, and suddenly the worms did a 180.

T-Dawg's mood swung straight into his gold-plated toilet.

I don’t know who started the flood of Sherlock Holmes references, but a whole lot of cartoonists and columnists have suddenly become Baker Street Irregulars.

For those who aren’t up on their Conan Doyle, the reference is to a dog that would have barked at a burglar but did not bark at a familiar figure. Of all the “dog that didn’t bark” cartoons, I like Danziger’s best because he depicts more than one dog.

Lawyer Barbie has been ordered to investigate the Democrats -- and only the Democrats -- involved in the 'Democrat Hoax'. I expect she'll promptly get to the bottom of it. Just as soon as she releases all the Epstein files she's still holding that she promised to let go of months ago.

There's lots more sexual innuendo that could be chortled over ('Bubba' is probably Jizzlane's horse and not Bill Clinton; really) but let's move on. T-Pain needs the biggest diversion he can conjure, and Venezuela is already in the crosshairs. Any minute now, they're going to get slammed.

Carville's Economic Theorem still holds: no matter the number of girls trafficked and raped, Bubbas blown or wars waged, the latest tariff TACO won't lower your grocery bill. And no matter how dumb MAGA is, a lot of them are hurting, and like us they're watching the rich live it up.

And fifty-year mortgages and fifteen-year auto loans aren't going to fix anything.


It's so good to see Clay Jones on the mend.
This caricature of Trump is the first drawing I have attempted since the stroke. Isn’t it crazy that I haven’t drawn anything in over a month? This was done with my left hand, and it was extremely difficult. I still don’t have enough stability with my right arm. I did hold a guitar pick for a few minutes today while strumming my Taylor 214. I’m not selling my guitars just yet. No, I do not plan to draw in the future with my left hand. Coincidentally enough, I drew it while waiting for an occupational therapist to arrive.

Clay still draws better than ChatGPT.

Your Mom-dani Funnies


Giddy Democrats rocked by good electoral results, roll Republicans. Who mad now?
Yes, I have used this pun before for a blog post title but that was back in June when Mam-bo won the primary. There were some one-issue voters in NYC that weren't motivated by free public transit or taxing billionaires or even *gasp* 'communism'.


(Though in Ithaca, they did elect a Communist. Yay!)

It's safe to say the GOP never saw it coming.
The case was full of baloney.


Prosecutors argued the twelve-inch sub constituted a “blunt object with extra gabagool.” The defense countered that it was merely “a peaceful expression of lunchtime dissent. Something more deli than deadly.”

The verdict marks a blow to prosecutors, proving once again that while you can indict a ham sandwich, you apparently can’t convict one.

Fall Back to the 1930s Funnies


I saved a few Halloween toons for today.
Look at your opposition party, America.

T-Pain is exactly what you see. But Kam and KJP just put their heads on the tee for him.
The Christian War on Halloween segues into the War on Xmas. Next thing you know King Donald will be threatening to invade Nigeria.

This war is at least not as deadly as an Israeli ceasefire (sic).


Alas, A Blog!:
If you publicly criticize Israel, you’ll sooner or later be confronted with the “why are you singling out Israel” critique. “There are so many nations in the world – so picking on the world’s one and only Jewish state must be motivated by antisemitism, right?”

Sometimes the 'motivated by antisemitism' part is implied rather than said, as in this essay by Professor Jeroen Bruggeman. At less rarified levels, it’s often stated more baldly, as in this question on Quora.

[...]

Few if any of Israel’s apologists who raise the “why single out Israel?” argument could honestly say they personally give equal attention to all the worlds’ crises; they typically pay far more attention to Israel than any other country.

Which is fine! People are allowed to care more about one issue than another. Even critics of Israel.

Demolition Man Toons


While we wait for Rubio's War to kick off ...
... the Epstein Ball Room has captivated the shrinking attention span of our demented, early-Alzie-onset Commandant in Chief.

There are quite a few more wars El Trumpo is planning to begin than he claims to have ended. Still he seems ... curmudgeonly about that Nobel Prize denied.
"My Country Shit on Thee"
A few state and local items:


You can find The Rag in the blog roll to the right.

RIP June Lockhart.

A Peace of the Action Funnies


(Some of these toons are NSFW, mostly for language.)


Not that kind of peace.



We lost some valuable people this past week.


In 1975 I saw KISS in McDonald Gymnasium on the campus of Lamar University in Beaumont. I was already a pretty big fan. Peter Criss put on a CAT Diesel Power hat about halfway through the show and everybody roared (with laughter).


I've been deaf for almost twelve years and I can still hear her voice.

Wars and Peace Toons


"China defeats USA in Soybean Wars, opens new geologic front"


The Nobel Peace Prize Loser also isn't winning the War on Portland.

As for the personal battles you may be fighting: please don't spend your Halloween calling trick-or-treaters socialists dependent upon handouts, either.
Jesse Duquette is this week's 'Do Something, Democrats' cartoonist.
Sure, things are happening at a breakneck pace and Project 2025 is being enacted much more quickly than even its architects could have dreamed possible. But most people are still going about their lives unaware of the horrors being exacted upon their neighbors. This complacency and unwillingness to act, if anything, will be the death knell for our last attempts at a democracy. But least the mimosas were good.
Then again, if Trump's bad guys are indistinguishable from Trump's other bad guys, then I can understand why Democrats might be confused.
It's too early for A Christmas Carol, but we're gifted a brief interlude with the Ghost of Child Molesters Past and his most moral supporter and public defender.
But heating up quickly.


Still want a Laura Loomer mask (scroll down).

Toonist Clay Jones suffered a stroke just a few days ago. Kindly support his efforts as he rehabilitates. And the dearly loved Diane Keaton departs with some words from her 60th birthday that greatly inspire.
