Best Cartoons of the Week
Class warfare was the name of the game this week. Critics used the phrase to criticize President Obama’s new jobs plan, due to its call to increase taxes on the wealthy. Maybe it’s the reason Mark Zuckerberg is punishing us with all these new Facebook changes.
To see what the news looks like through the eyes of our cartoonists, check out our big Week in Political Cartoons slideshow.

Facebook Changes Cartoons
Stupid Facebook! As most of us have just gotten use to all the previous changes, here they are again updating our “user experience” to entice us to put our entire life on their web servers!
(Did I mention we’re on Facebook, and how much we love it? Don’t forget to “Like” us.)

GOP Debate Cartoons
Tonight, Republican Presidential candidates face off in swing-state Florida in yet another bid to win the hearts and minds of conservative voters. You’d better tune in – you don’t know what the GOP crowd will cheer for next!
Check out what our cartoonists think of tonight’s get together with our new GOP Debate cartoon slideshow.

Class Warfare Cartoons
Today, President Obama proposed $1.5 trillion in new taxes aimed primarily at the wealthy as part of a deficit reduction plan. Predictibly, politicians on the right have labeled this “class warfare” and claim Obama wants to “punish success.”

GOP Passes Obama Jobs Bill

Best Cartoons of the Week
This wasn’t a good week for President Obama. Not only is the economy still struggling, but he’s getting opposition from both Republicans and Democrats on his new jobs bill. And the whole Solyndra bankruptcy didn’t help is job creation street cred either.

What Every Woman Should Know
Here’s what my daughter Susie has to say about her newest graphic report for the Cartoon Movement about the war that’s being waged against women’s health in the United States.
Some issues are straight forward and can be elegantly distilled into single panel editorial cartoons. Some are full of gray areas and require some deeper exploration. I think this story and the issue of faith-based crisis pregnancy centers in general falls into the latter category. They may do a great deal of good for some women, but at the same time they’re also standing in the way of legal choices for many women. This isn’t just about abortion! These centers provide misleading and even false information to women, pregnant or not, regarding contraception and basic reproductive health issues — and from people who are not licensed medial professionals, or even licensed counselors. To find this happening in what most would consider the liberal playground of San Francisco was surprising, and deserved further investigation.



Uncertain Recovery Cartoons
As President Obama attempts to push through a new jobs bill to help our struggling economy, economists see signs that the chances of a short-term recovery are uncertain at best. And critics of Obama’s plan say the President has little to show for its previous job-creation efforts, as unemployment continues to remain alarmingly high.
What do cartoonists think of the economic pickle we seem to be stuck in? Check out our Uncertain Recovery cartoon slideshow to find out.

Obama GOP and Jobs


I have an exhibit in Paris with Le Monde’s front page cartoonist, Plantu, at the Théâtre de La Ville from September 10th through 30th.
The show features our graphic novel style “conversation” about the ten years since 9/11 that we did as a book project for Casterman, the Tin Tin publishers in Belgium.
Plantu’s poster for the exhibit is below, and below that is a clip from last weekend’s Le Monde, promoting the show.
Editorial cartoons are taken more seriously, and are seen as more important in France than they are here. I remember that, soon after 9/11, Time Magazine stopped running editorial cartoons because they thought “jokes” were inappropriate in such serious times. In fact, cartoonists do their best work when times are troubled and passions run high.
