'Habeas Corpse' Toons


Holy Shit Week rolls to an end.


The Vardians stand up for Veritas ...
... meanwhile ...
... also while re-education classes get under way.

Who's down for an impromptu late-semester getaway to a beautiful South American country? You may be eligible for a complimentary ticket, but no beaches on this excursion.
Women celebrities ride Jeff Bezos' rocket, are now astronauts

Apologies for cracking phallus jokes on Easter. No apologies for cracking on wealthy clueless elites.


If Gayle King is an expert on space because she flew to the edge of the atmosphere for ten minutes ... then I'm a gynecologist. Trust me.

So many are traumatized, but MAGA is partying like it's 1939.

"When the Pyromaniac is the Fire Marshal" Funnies


T-Pain is beating us leftists and the oil companies to the "burn it all down" punch.


Can't have all these fires without mentioning the climate. Oh wait ...

Eid was last week (the Israelis kept bombing and starving Palestine). Passover this weekend. Christians celebrate Easter next weekend. This atheist is of the opinion that were there actually a god, better people he could have chosen. Mike Peterson of the Daily Cartoonist:
One of the hardest challenges I found as a journalist was to be in an interview where you realized that the person was lying to your face. Fortunately, I could usually work around a self-serving falsehood by finding a second, more forthcoming source or, if it were an insignificant sidenote, ignoring it for the moment.

But as (these cartoonists; see link) note, the changing explanations and downright fables being put forth by the IDF are highly significant and are part of a particularly toxic, repeated pattern that goes back at least to the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, whose death was explained away, then edited and explained again, then finally excused with a “whoops.”

And the mother and daughter killed by a sniper while walking in the courtyard of a Christian church.

And the tiny girl who pleaded for help while the medics trying to rescue her were killed, and who was then killed herself.

And now this, and the explanations have once more fallen apart. Turns out one of the wounded, dying medics left behind a recording that overturned the IDF’s version of events.

But cartoonists and other commentators have become wary because any criticism of the IDF or of government policies towards Gaza is attacked as antisemitism.

However, you can still draw funny penguins without being accused of being antiornithological.
"I heart Hamas". "Open borders". Women in Men's Sports". Somebody missed the point (as well as the 'Hands Off' rallies). It's accurate that the Blues aren't going to see a midterm renaissance, but not for the reasons Eric Allie thinks.

Not just across the pond.

"Descartes Before the Whores" Funnies


Thanks to David Rothkopf for the header (and your medium-length read).

The Funnies are not very this week, and not because March Madness devolved to April Fools, or because Democrats still believe they don't have to do anything but watch Trump implode in order to retake control, or even because the the genocide in Palestine proceeds frenetically as blue-pilled Americans rally for 'Hands Off' while waving Ukrainian flags.

Much of the world understands that we've about a decade or so to adjust to -- not avoid -- catastrophic climate change, and that continuing to pillage the Earth's resources for more war matériel, expanding the global surveillance network, and sucking up to the plutocrats only hastens our demise. In America we're cheering those who encourage grabbing as much money as we can with both fists. "Buy the dip". "This is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before". In all caps.

No War But Class War. Here's the cartoons.


I support tariffs, applied properly to favor American workers. I'm not a free trader. Bill Clinton's NAFTA cost this country good jobs and livable wages. What Trump is doing is disastrous however, and anyone who's taken Econ 101 understands that his attempts to remake the global economy will fail miserably.


If this nation is going to survive in the short term, we will have to fight for our friends and neighbors before they are disappeared. Else we will disappear. Holding up a sign that reads 'Due Process' isn't resistance enough.

There's the price of eggs, and then there's the price of eggs.
Don't mean to be a spoilsport. Congrats to the Houston Coogs.
