"It's Election Day" Toons


Bill Cutting and Jack Amsterdam GOTV.



Predicted downpours did not materialize -- just a few fast-moving cool front-related showers sweeping across the Deep-In-The-Hearta -- so Lone Star Republicans can't make any excuses about turnout (that they themselves are not directly responsible for).


A few people became aware of Dan Patrick's political strategist this past week. He enjoys editorial cartoons just as much as I do.


Sean Spicer Xeeted yesterday that his "sources" told him Israeli Haley Stevens would be endorsing Ken Paxton. Hat tip once again to The Onion.


Brian McFadden is not referencing the WaPo here, more the NYT, but shitty op-eds and shittier endorsements remain the hallmark of the Houston Chronicle (looking at YOU, Evan Mintz).

Nearly $2 billion spent by these free speech patriots, a quarter of it by you-know-who.


I am so old I can remember when Democrats complained about Miriam Adelson's dead husband and Republicans whined about 'just' George Soros (Blakemore's toon above, ICYMI). Their heirs seem to be hoarding their inheritance. Comparatively speaking. It's also worth noting that Mrs. Adelson and Soros and son represent opposite wings of the AIPAC Epstein Duopoly Party.

In the lead-up to the election, several centrist Democrats have unsubtly tried to undermine Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, explicitly targeting him for his criticisms of Israel. ... (Haley) Stevens wasn’t alone. Nancy Pelosi condemned El-Sayed’s (and also Zohran Mamdani’s) positions on Israel just days before the election, seemingly agreeing with the host’s suggestion that El-Sayed is antisemitic. “It’s more than concerning, it’s wrong,” Pelosi said, adding that the position wasn’t representative of congressional Democrats.

A day later, a Pelosi spokesman emailed out a pro forma statement affirming her support for El-Sayed’s candidacy in this week’s election. Pelosi’s lukewarm support for winning a Democratic Senate majority makes her better than two well-known Democrats associated with Stevens’ losing primary campaign, mega-fundraiser David Kramer and law firm owner Jason Turkish, who have both publicly declared that they’ll vote for El-Sayed’s Republican opponent.
T-Pumpking and his minions, having consumed their Halloween treats, are expected to start yelling 'stolen election' shortly after 7 p.m. your time.
Maybe they'll step in it. Maybe they won't. We'll see.
I'm thinking we should brace for The Other Day After.

Days of the Dead Funnies


Predicted rain missed us in H-Town so the zombies were out in force.


There were plenty of other frights about.

There appears to be a storm coming.

T-BabyMan isn't going to take out all the fascists that need removing, but I appreciate the efforts he's making. At home and abroad.


Maybe he'll get some credit for it.


Really though, I'm not so concerned about the post-midterms chaos -- not our election outcomes and not even the conservatives screeching about their world ending -- but the actual existential crises. The many looming that no political party is capable of addressing.
In a TV appearance in April 2024, Israeli-American journalist and pundit Emily Schrader said, “I don’t know of anyone who is in the current Israeli government that would support any form of genocide.”

Parsing the disingenuousness of "it's not a genocide" denials is huffing from the gaslight.


I do not expect those elections to result in any improvement in the lives of Palestinians.


As the veil between this reality and the next thinned this week, several of our beloved cultural icons passed through it and carried on ahead of the rest of us.

Operation Over Lord Musk Toons


Regarding the Russian-Ukraine conflict: I don't have a dog in the hunt. That was Joe Biden's war, and the Azov Nazis were not something I could overlook. It also became a proxy fight, not just NATO but Israel, which is why so many Jewish Blue Dogs (read: shitliberals) still fly blue and yellow flags on their profiles and in my 'hood.

But nobody needs Viceroy Musk with his heavy thumb on the switch.


Not on the battlefield and not at the ballot box.

450 m-m-m-million dollars and the GOP slot machine is still ringing.

The Democrats already had too many things to pay lip service to fixing, and now getting the goddamned money out of politics rockets into the top five. As for Yurp, it's the social revolution I'll be watching. It's not being televised in the US.
Number One with a bullet, faster and more threatening than the rise of Musk, is one of his creations; specifically some of Grok's more sophisticated cousins.

At this point I'll take almost any distraction from the midterms, and any one I can get from T-Pig.

Again, not like we don't have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Like this.
More deaths of children this week. In this country, too. If you noticed.
Yeah, it's complicated.
The “victims to monsters” trope made the news in November 2025, when an old quote from Zohran Mamdani’s father, Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani, surfaced: “The survivors of the Holocaust in Israel: yesterday’s victims turned today’s perpetrators.” He said that in 2002, but I’ve heard that sentiment recently expressed in quite a few internet discussions.

I’ve said that many of Israel’s defenders and groups like the Zionist Organization of America have been far too quick to call criticism of Israel antisemitism. I still believe that.

[...]

“The victims are now the monsters,” when said about Jews or Israel, has long been a pet peeve of mine. I think people are drawn to this trope because it suggests a clear and comprehensible storyline — oh, the irony! — which is more appealing than the foggy reality.

I’m very much a critic of Israel. But it’s true that some critics of Israel do conflate Israel and Jews in a way that’s antisemitic, sometimes purposely, and sometimes just thoughtlessly (both kinds are bad).

It’s possible to oppose the genocide in Gaza and oppose rhetoric that criticizes Jews in general rather than the state of Israel. (I put the black-haired woman in this cartoon in a “Free Gaza” t-shirt to make this point.)

The Art of the Diesel Funnies


Early voting begins Monday, but spooky season is under way already. I'm not counting on the treats outnumbering the tricks.


So! T-Piggy had a pretty rough week.

Then again, not as rough as Kimb Guilfoyle or K-name Zacharia.

Or Ken Paxton.


Clay Jones ties it all together.
You can bet that MAGAts will spend all of their time between now and November 3 in the sewers. Oh, who am I kidding? They'll never get out. I wish they would run into the C.H.U.D.s while they're down there.
So it looks increasingly possible with each passing day that 2026 will be a wave midterm election that turns against the GOP due to a faltering national economy (and a few other things, just not trans kids or even genocide). And all it took was Israel goading us into another oil war $9 diesel.
"Get a job" from retired MAGA Boomers with fat pensions just doesn't have the same insulting ring it used to. If you lose it to a child or a robot, are you still blaming Ill Eagles?
Anyway, I do hope the polls aren't whack and that T-Bitch doesn't get so scared that he surges ICE to the reduced number of polling places in your county, where you might find your voting status in suspense. If they get their sweep, we'll see what Team Donkey can do with it next year.


Personally I have greater concerns than which side of the Uniparty coin comes up heads or tails.
"Reggaeton music" isn't one.
Efforting fun outdoors on a glorious fall weekend and you should too.

Season of the Witches Toons

I like almost everything about autumn.

And warlocks and vampires and werewolves ...

I think it's dumber than that.


It's almost Time for That Two Party Two Step on Twofer Tuesday! Get ready to get your Tacos and your Tiddies and your Thick Trunks to the polls!
"Where's Talafreako?" backfired pretty spectacularly on K-Pax.
President Peace Prize -- robbed of the Nobel again! -- announced that he will not bomb Iran until after the November elections. What a relief.
And some noteworthies shuffled off our mortal coil this past week.

Deadlines Approaching Funnies


Yes, your voting registration, but some other important ones also. For example, judgment day looms for MAGA and they seem not to be handling well the worst case scenarios.
Not just the MAGAts on the ballot. Their once rock-ribbed base.
Yeah. What's it say about our neighbors when a few extra cents a gallon is the only thing that riles them up? I mean besides men in women's sports and Sharia law?

"America is sooo divided". Yes. Between Americans who oppose genocide, wars for oil, patriarchy, oligarchy, plutocracy, an out-of-control police and surveillance state, a widening chasm of economic and social inequality ... and those who don't.

Despite all the excitement, it strikes me as stunted for our corporate media reporting of elections to have failed to evolve in the slightest way over the past generation. They still cover the worst democracy money has bought us the same as they did 20 years ago. The focus is constantly on the Epstein Zionist Capitalist Duopoly. Blue pill versus red pill and its accompanying sideshows: "look at the size of his" fundraising; ridiculous polling extrapolations -- "We're Only TWO POINTS Behind!" when polling methodology grows ever more suspect; and the insult/retort O'Day, aka social media bait or what Limp Bizkit called the 'he said/she said BS'.


And all while the world stands at the intersection of Apocalypse and Armageddon.

I'll grant that all of what is currently happening might just be too overwhelming for some to contemplate as it regards our biannual evaluation of elected leaders. And that yes, it's gonna be the economy stoopid again. Perhaps the cost of living in this hellscape timeline will be enough to get the gamers and cosplayers back to reality and out to vote. If they're not too intimidated. Or tired.
My Astros ended their season on a low note. That's what high expectations year after year do, though. Note the wayback date on this toon.
