Dennis Kucinich Is Too Cool For Your Stupid American Presidency

Cartoon Violence Is Seeing Double

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Each week, the Comics Curmudgeon helps explain Today’s Cartoons.

Greetings, Wonkette readers! Welcome back to that popular and intermittently recurring Cartoon Violence feature, “This Thing Looks Just Like That Thing!” Here, we pick on poor political cartoonists who happen to produce cartoons that look almost exactly like some other cartoons, and then arbitrarily declare one to be better than the other, which is probably really unfair of us.

That simple question is the impetus behind “jam band fan or taliban,” an exciting new entry in the “is it this thing or that thing that looks like this thing” field.

Jam Band Fan or Taliban?

Nancy Reagan Clearly Dressed Her Husband

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Dear Diary, I am writing in you ... - Wonkette
Hey everybody, remember Ronald Reagan? He was sort of the George W. Bush to George W. Bush’s dad’s Dick Cheney, back in the day. Anyway, turns out he kept a diary in the White House or something. Also, he was apparently a founding member of The Wiggles: MORE »

mccain.jpgAt top, the terrifying, totalitarian logo of the John McCain campaign. Below it, the charming, identically-starred logo of British CANADIAN, WHATEVER, THEY WORSHIP THE SAME QUEEN packaged foods-manufacturer McCain. Further proof that WALNUTS! takes everything good and wholesome and turns it into another pawn in his world domination fantasy. MORE »
