    I read comics for the humor. Why can’t cartoonists just leave their political baggage out of it?

    Cartoonists haven’t been “leaving their political baggage out of it” since at least the 1930s, when Harold Gray used Little Orphan Annie to bash the New Deal.

    Or the late 19th century Harper’s Weekly, where the brilliant Thomas Nast expressed his political insights with caricatures:

    C’mon, Takiniteasy, politics is a hoot! HRH seems to be enjoying the show.

    it’s ‘political baggage’ if you don’t agree with it…..
    .if you DO agree with it, its incisive, topical .political opinion

    A good cartoonist uses their worldview to color their humor, and their opinions are going to come through one way or another. After all, the absurdities of the human condition (and there are many) make for the best comedy.

    My basic political, and social and societal and otherwiseal, position is this: I’m anti-stupidity. When I see stupid people I lob barbs at them. And if you read back far enough you’ll see I do it to both sides of the aisle.

    Betsy McCaughey is stupid (if not batshit insane). I’m hitting her. Glenn Beck (who inaccurately predicted the Rapture in 2006 on-air and came under an assault from me for it) is stupid. I’m hitting him. Someone you might not suspect gets dragged before the Sanity Panel later this week because he’s stupid.

    It’s really not my fault that most of the stupid in recent years has been coming from the Republicans. Get rid of people like Betsy McCaughey and Glenn Beck and maybe the sensible people will come back to your party.

    If this is all too much for you, and you prefer a comic strip that is pro-stupidity instead (I’m all for balance after all) go over to the Other Syndicate’s site and read “Mallard Fillmore.” (After all, someone has to.)

    The first cartoon published in an American newspaper was by Benjamin Franklin.
    It was political.

    Pab: Right on! And more stupidity: the governor of south carolina. Gary Hart… Ted Kennedy 1969… Nixon, blowing his presidency because he just couldn’t be anything but Tricky Dick…

    Takiniteasy, take a clue from your name and breathe a bit, okay? Pab does this all the time. He’s a professional.

    …Don Martin used to say that he didn’t care who he offended as long as the gag was funny…I agree…Oh,yes and don’t forget to read ‘State Of The Union’…

    just don’t bother reading the comments on SOTU! (unless they’ve stopped the constant arguing and name calling.)

    How in the WORLD can a comic featuring a monarch and her friends and family (who are mostly other monarchs) NOT be political? Now my brain hurts. Bring in the sanity panel.

    I actually like SOTU. You can be political, and on the opposite side of me, and still manage to be entertaining and even funny. Look at P.J. O’Rourke for example.

    As Klaatu said, “I’m impatient with stupidity. My people have learned to live without it.”

    A dream worth striving for, thinks I.
