[nostamj]

20. a 'big' one that 'got away'....

i got to check Lynda Barry more often....

[TrogL]

21. Do this appear in any newspapers other than read by die-hard liberals?

I understand many of them put Doonsbery and Boondocks on the editorial page and censor them if they're anti-Bush.

[nostamj]

22. i know *some* do...

but, I'm not familiar enough with the political leanings of the various papers that publish them.

note: there are about an equal number of RW toonists out there... someday I'll do another 'dark side' collection

[rbnyc]

[Lisa]

42. Pockets of acceptance!

But "Great Stupid War" is the best, I think.

[nostamj]

45. yes, dangle was "on it" with that one

I also think the Steve Sacks toon (first in this collection) with the upside down flags on the coffins is very very strong.

glad you enjoyed!

[Lisa]

47. I love Bush's facial expression in the Sacks cartoon ...

He's been doing some great pieces lately.

That "Bush and Cheney testifying" one was just priceless! And the Morse code actually translates. Beautiful.

[nostamj]

48. he DOES pay attention to the details,

doesn't he?

what the the Morse Code say?????? don't make me dig out my Boy Scout's Handbook!

[Lisa]

49. "Dont tell them about ..."

(I'm not making it up, so stop saying that!)

p.s. I'm always inordinately amused when the technical background for a joke turns out to be correct. Like the Monty Python skit where a guy is talking about an "occluded front", and casually whips out a diagram showing just that. There was a microbrewery ad in North America a while back which borrowed the idea, and they didn't use the correct meteorological symbols, which (for me anyway) wasn't nearly as funny.

[nostamj]

52. thanks!

like I said, he 'gets' the details. those upside down flags! :wow:

[RushIsRot]

43. Great collection!

Thanks!

[librechik]

44. "marksman 1st class"--should be "chickenhawk first class"

and Cheney never threw it over the fence. Hid it under a rug, yes.

[wellstone dem]

46. Thank You

I don't think I've ever felt so sad after reading cartoons.

Still, thank you.

[yardwork]

50. kick

thank you

[jeanmarc]

51. Great stuff!

Fantastic post as usual! Keep it up! It is definitely appreciated and needed.

[Kenneth ken]

53. kick and thanks - n/t

[berry]

54. Thanks so much!

My fav was the one by Toles with Rove writing talking points, but there were so many good ones...

One question, though. What's a 'tomahawk chop"? and why is it funny for Cheney to get it wrong? (I'm revealing vast ignorance here, but I'd sort of like to know...)

[nostamj]

55. it's a football thing

cheney gets it 'wrong' by making it a nazi salute... oops!

the reference is to cheney's hateful speech last week at Westminster College, which was rebutted, brilliantly, by Kerry on Friday (at the college president's request)

[berry]

56. Ahhh. Thanks.

I let the words distract me from the picture. The nazi salute is clear now. I'm glad I asked.

And while I'm at it, :kick:
