So Donald Trump is back in the news today. Apparently, The Donald has decided to endorse Mitt Romney for president in what might be the most awkwardly timed campaign event so far in this campaign. Think about it, after getting slammed over a flub for saying he doesn’t care about the poor, Romney is going to accept the endorsement of the world’s most notorious billionaire, whose catchphrase is, “You’re fired!”
At least cartoonists are ahead of the curve when it comes to Trump. But who’s the more foolish – the fool, or the fool who follows him? Here are five cartoons to help you decide…
Today is Groundhog Day! According to reports, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means we’ll all be experiencing six more weeks of winter. Which for most of us means we might finally start to experience winter for the first time this year.
Speaking of shadows, our cartoonists like to cast big and long ones with their work. Check out what they think in our new Groundhog Day cartoon collection.
With the news that Facebook is set to go public today, I thought it might be a good time to dig into our archives and pull out five funny Facebook cartoons.
It also seems appropriate to remind you to “like” our cartoon page on Facebook. After all, we want to do what we can to help Mark Zuckerberg make even more money…
The GOP Primary has come down to an epic battle between front-runner Mitt Romney and Washington insider outsider Newt Gingrich. Here are my most recent cartoons about these two fun-to-draw candidates:
It’s Florida Primary day! Florida is the largest and most diverse state to cast their vote so far in the GOP Primary, with 50 delegates up for grabs in today’s winner-take-all contest, double the amount awarded in any other state so far.
With Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich bare-knuckle brawling to the bitter end, check out what our cartoonists think with our updated Florida Primary cartoon collection.
Today the White House criticized comments by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus comparing President Obama to the captain of the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia, who allegedly abandoned his sinking ship.
Priebus said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Obama was “our own little Captain Schettino,” and accused the President of abandoning ship and spending more time on his re-election campaign.
Preibus wasn’t the only person to make this analogy. Some of the nation’s top political cartoonists drew cartoons to the same effect. So is it a fair analogy to make, or was Priebus (and our cartoonists) wrong to make the comparison?

With the GOP Primary heating up in Florida, it’s Newt versus Mitt in a bare-knuckle fist fight over the direction of the Republican Party.
Vulture capitalist versus Freddie Mac lobbyist? Out-of-touch rich guy versus family values hypocrite? It’s almost like President Obama is writing these attack lines!
Just received word that Chris Britt (view Britt’s recent cartoons here) has been laid-off from his job as the staff cartoonist for the State Journal-Register in Springfield, Illinois. Chris, a contributor to Cagle.com, has been the staff cartoonist at the Journal-Register since 1999, and was let go amid cutbacks and financial difficulties by the paper’s parent company, Gatehouse.
According to the Illinois Times, Britt said he wasn’t sure whether he was given a reason for his firing.
“They may have – I was just in a little bit of a daze,” he told the paper. “Economic re-structuring, or something like that.”
Here’s a video of Britt back in 2008 talking about cartooning and the impact it can have, especially locally:

Tonight, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union speech as GOP candidates bludgeon themselves over vulture capitalism and influence peddling. Are Republicans making it easy for a President facing high unemployment and record levels of debt?
We’ll leave the history of tonight to Newt Gingrich. For now, check out our new State of the Union cartoon collection.
