Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day! Each April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The idea came to founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the aftermath of the horrific 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.
Check out what cartoonists think of the environmental holiday with our Earth Day cartoon slideshow.

Donald Trump For President
Donald Trump for President? Might not be as far-fetched as you think. A recently released Pew Research poll shows that Trump has the highest profile among GOP hopefuls, and polls last week showed The Donald ahead of the rest of the GOP pack, including Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.
What does the elevation of Donald Trump as a serious presidential candidate mean for jobs? Well, for starters, there should be some job job security for the nation’s cartoonists. Check out their take in our Donald Trump for President cartoon slideshow.

BP Oil Spill – One Year Later
One year ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, eventually leaking two-and-a-half million gallons of oil a day into the surrounding waters. More than 200 million gallons were leaked into the Gulf before it was all said and done.
During the nearly three months it took to shut down the well, cartoonists responded to every breaking detail with their own unique brand of indignation and satire.
Take a look back at the best cartoons drawn about the disaster in the gulf with our BP Oil Spill – One Year Later cartoon collection.

Fidel Castro Out In Cuba
Castro is out.
For the first time since Cuba’s 1959 revolution, Fidel Castro was not included in the Communist Party’s leadership, and someone other than Fidel or Raúl has been name to the second-highest position in the Communist Party.
We all knew this day would come, but it’s still shocking to reflect on the longevity of Fidel as the leader of Cuba.
It’s interesting looking back at my cartoons about Fidel and his iron-grip for so many years on the Cuban people.
I drew this cartoon back in 2006 when Fidel was undergoing intestinal surgery and provisionally handed over power for the first time to his younger brother Raul.
Now Raul will be expected to set a new economic course for Cuba. The congress’ approval of a package of more than 300 reforms is an admission that the status quo isn’t working.
It’s always fun to end things on a joke. Looking back at my archive of Castro cartoons, Fidel is no exception.

Mike Keefe Wins Pulitzer
I’m very pleased to announce that Mike Keefe, who is syndicated by Cagle Cartoons and is a long-time staffer for The Denver Post, is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, the highest award any member of the media can win.
The Pulitzer judges said he was awarded the prize “for his widely ranging cartoons that employ a loose, expressive style to send strong, witty messages..”
Keefe is a two-time Fischetti Award winner, and has also won both the Sigma Delta Chi Award and the National Headliner Award. This is his first Pulitzer, although he was a Pulitzer juror in 1997 and 1998.
“I am gobsmacked,” Keefe told The Post. “In recent years, the Pulitzer has gone to much younger folks, who are newer in the business. I thought my day had passed.” (Here’s a pic of Keefe getting congratulated by his Editorial Page Editor upon hearing the news)
Here is a slideshow featuring all 20 of Keefe’s Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoons.

Tax Day Cartoons
Today is Tax Day, and for many, this means finally getting around to finished your taxes, writing out that check to Uncle Sam and waiting in line at the Post Office to make sure you meet the all-important midnight deadline.
Everyone hates paying taxes, but cartoonists despise them. If you have five minutes to take a break from your 1040, enjoy a laugh at our funny Tired of Taxes cartoon collection.

We’ve just posted our huge Week in Review cartoon slideshow, and what’s on everyone’s mind this week? Taxes, taxes, taxes!

Which infuriates bankrupt birther Donal Trump, who can’t abide the media overlooking him.
So pull yourself away from your calculator and check out our Week in Political Cartoons slideshow.

Talk about being juiced! For years, cartoonists have been drawing cartoons about that cheating, steroid-injecting egomaniac Barry Bonds. Now, the lawyers have caught up with everyone else, convicting the former Giants slugger of obstruction of justice.
To check out how cartoonists have depicted Bonds sincd breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record*, check out our new Bonds is Guilty cartoon collection.
