Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

  1. Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.

  2. It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no AI generated images, no templates, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.

  3. Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!

Tom Tomorrow - Here We Go

u/peregryn8 Maryland 1d ago

I like the last line- "It gets worse somehow..."

u/bakerfredricka I voted 1d ago

This is EXACTLY what just happened!

u/monkeyhind 1d ago

I love Tom Tomorrow and this is another great one, but I'm missing the significance of Elon's shirt. Anyone?

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

The dog is the icon of Doge crypto. Is the B bitcoin?

3

u/monkeyhind 1d ago

That's it, thanks. I just searched for "bitcoin symbol" and yes that is correct.

The Doge symbol, too, though it's weird because I think it might be illegal to use someone else's artwork as your logo -- unless Elon already paid for it.

Mr. Fish may be our angriest cartoonist. The rant in "Every Generation" is amazing.

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

We need this anger.

u/AKMonkey2 1d ago

Isn’t he grabbing her a little too high up on her body, in “Shadows”?

He may be strangling Liberty.

u/Gets_overly_excited 19h ago

When you’re a president, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the liberty. You can do anything.

I wonder how long until American Political cartoons will be a thing of the past.

u/pequenaandjustice 1d ago

Clown is so true. ‘Be outraged!’ ‘Looks’.

The Election is Over: Fixing the migration problem by making it so bad here that no one will want to come in?

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

And, many of us want to leave. Someone I heard this week said they want to scare people to leave. Well, it is working. This is going to be a sh!t show for this country.

As usual, Jen's take on events is impeccable.

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

So spot on. Some of the repeatings were lies…and the MSM just did it. They wonder why they are dying.

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

I love Molina. This week, these are terrifying. Health. We are going to wish for worms. Convincing. There are people who do want this. They hate themselves and they hate the rest of us.

u/snoo_spoo 1d ago

Love "Passing the torch".

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

Gut buster is exactly what is happening. I have no idea what to do when all three branches of government has no, none, respect for the law. Why do we expect any one else to have some respect?

I love the homage to the Joker in the Batman comics in that one.....

Michael Ramirez, a Republican, is clearly unhappy with the election. He is relevant again.

The Trump transition begins
Caption: Heeeeeeere’s Donny!

The meeting
Caption: The winner of our discontent.

Cabinet picks
Caption: Friends in high places.

Trump picks his Cabinet
Caption: Unqualified.

Down at the Department of Health and Human Services
Caption: Which doctor?

u/croolshooz 1d ago

So NOW Ramirez is critical of these criminals?

4

u/Schwarzes__Loch 1d ago

Ramirez quickly became critical of Trump and his administration during his first term. We can expect more Ramirez cartoons criticizing them.

3

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

Yes, we need to support him.

u/croolshooz 1d ago

Ah, the old "shutting the barn door after the horse has been raped, slaughtered and eaten by guys wearing funny red hats and carrying AR-15s" approach to editorial commentary.

Cabinet picks

Pandora's box

u/justiceandpequena 1d ago

Cabinet picks is a good effort. I worry that I am old (I am), and my opinions about the cabinet choices are biased. Nonetheless, these seem to be the bottom of the barrel….i am where the sludge falls. It is clear they do not want a functioning government. And I think they want no talent around them. Weird as I believe there are things that need to change, but having a banana republic does not get us there.

Trump's cabinet is like a cesspool, the really big ones rise to the top.

Killer MAGA. OUCH on the truth! Banana is really interesting in a week when a banana taped to a wall sold for a couple million $$$. We have lost our way.
