'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' 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.
