'Staring into the Abyss at 2026' Funnies



"Enjoy What May Be Your Last Merry Christmas!"


Does this charade even have rules any more?


It just doesn't seem as if we are all living in the same reality.
Maybe I should simply try harder to put 2025 in my rearview mirror, move on, focus on the future. Can't shake this feeling of being monitored, tracked, even pursued though.
CBS News demonstrated its continued commitment to journalistic flexibility by yanking a fully vetted 60 Minutes investigation on Trump-era deportees to a notorious Salvadoran mega-prison just three hours before airtime. The network explained that the story—cleared by lawyers, standards editors, and common sense—was simply not “ready”, presumably because it lacked the most important ingredient: permission from the administration being criticized.

Not just legacy teevee media. It's difficult to feel sorry for them, having been -- willing or not --groomed by their bedfellows.

I'm saving a few curated year-end cartoon collections for the first holiday of the new year, but here's First Dog and Tjeerd Royaards for your amusement.


And the very last Oglaf (for a long while).

Yuletide Toons


Happy happy joy joy.

'Yuletide' means "the season of Yule", referring to the time of year around midwinter (in some parts of the northern hemisphere, this was once late September). Both 'jul' and 'Yuletide' demonstrate how the ancient Norse festival of jΓ³l influenced the cultural and linguistic development of Christmas traditions in Scandinavia and the English-speaking world. Originating as a pagan festival with no specific religious ties, Yule often involved various nature-based rituals and celebrations to mark the changing of seasons.


Yeah, fuck woke. Let's open a new front in the War on Anything/Everything.

It's spelled ...


...but whatever T-King and his manboobs say goes, as we know. He's keeping an eye on America, and it's a puffy and infected one.




Some Texans got a cow patty in their Christmas stocking this year. Richly deserved.


A few more Funnies coming on Sunday.

Tinsel Toons

The week before Christmas is usually a little more stressful than the rest of the year. My Xmas wish is that Satan Santa got it all out of his system. Probably not.

Make it a last-minute stocking stuffer. Supplies should be plentiful, unlike this (below) custom-made, limited-supply item.


Texas voters will either get what they want or what they deserve next year. Maybe both.


The Blues didn't have a very good December (winning a few special elections for statehouse and long-unfilled Congressional vacancies really doesn't count), but the Reds had a far worse one. No amount of calling attention to their dysfunction seems to make any difference, however, and that's unfortunately typical. How bad is that for democracy plutocracy/oligarchy?
Houston Donks will end '25 fighting amongst themselves. By no means unusual or uncommon, but the intensity of the split between shitliberals and progs bodes poorly for their challenges of the status quo in Austin and D.C. in eleven months. Lots of time left on the game clock but I'm not sensing a comeback. You'll still have Michelle's cheerleading and Kuffner's CFRs to get your hopes up, and I'll be holding your Fell For It Again Awards for presentation this time next year.

Some people get everything they want.


And some don't.

More than a few noteworthy transitions.


Closing out with some religious and sac- cartoons. Have a happy holiday if you can.
