My Debt Ceiling Cartoons

So President Obama and Republicans finally came to an agreement on extending the debt ceiling. Too bad all their bickering created more problems then it solved…

Many liberals are mad at the President for essentially giving Republicans 98 percent of what they wanted. His posture certainly has changed since entering office…

The stock market plummeted after Standard and Poor’s reduced the country’s AAA rating for the first time in our history. Many have questioned S&P’s integrity, especially since the other two ratings agencies have reaffirmed our AAA rating, but that seems besides the point…

As the stock market plummets, our representatives in Washington scramble to blame each other instead of working together to fix the problem. So much for leadership…

Scary Stock Market Cartoons

Wall Street suffered a brutal day, with the Dow Jones industrial average plummeting by 500 points, the worst drop since October 2008. The Dow, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are down more than 10 percent from their previous highs and have erased their gains for the year. So much for that debt ceiling compromise calming the markets.

Check out our collection of Scary Stock Market cartoons.

10 Tea Party Extremism Cartoons

Are members of the tea party extremists? Some pundits seem to think so, pointing to the last couple of months where they were successfully able to hold Congress and President Obama hostage in order to get their demands passed.

One thing’s for certain – tea party members have certainly shaken-up the corridors of power in Washington. Whether that’s a good thing for the country remains to be seen.

Cartoonists are never afraid to weigh in on the tough questions, and it’s no different with the tea party. Here are 10 political cartoons that explore the notion of the tea party, and whether or not we should think of them as extremists.

 

Bill Day notices some striking similarities between Muslim extremists and the tea party…

Monte Wolverton explores what the tea party is spewing…

Florida Today cartoonist Jeff Parker thinks the tea party has gone overboard on what they’ve thrown overboard…

Caricaturist Taylor Jones thinks Eric Cantor points the way forward for the tea party…

Buffalo News cartoonist Adam Zyglis thinks we should change the spelling of “tea”…

R.J. Matson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shows the reaction the tea party has to the word “compromise”…

Dutch cartoonist Joep Bertrams thinks the tea party have performed a hold-up…

While Eric Allie thinks Democrats and the main stream media have misrepresented the tea party all together…

Some still point to race, as Brian Duffy does with his cartoon…

While Hartford Courant cartoonist Bob Englehart thinks they’re just out to wreck the country…

Welcome Bill Day

I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve added the brilliant cartoonist Bill Day to our stable of award-winning syndicated cartoonists at Cagle Cartoons.

Bill will draw three cartoons a week for us, along with a local cartoon each week about Tennessee, which we will syndicate to nearly 900 newspapers world wide.

Bill is a two-time winner of the RFK Journalism Award in Cartooning, and a five-time winner of the Green Eyeshade Award from the Society of Professional Journalists. He has also been honored with the National Headliner Award, the John Fischetti Award, First Amendment Award, New York Newspaper Guild’s Page One Award, National Cartoonists Society’s Division Award for Best Editorial Cartoons and James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism..

The defense of the oppressed and their condition is a deep and eloquent theme in his work. “I have great fun drawing and using humor in my cartoons,” says Day. “But when a terrible injustice occurs, I’ll use the most powerful images possible to address it.”

Here are some recent cartoons by Day:
