Just when you thought it was safe to plan for Father’s Day, Cej disappoints dads everywhere with the return of the shocking and all too true (if parodied) comic about America’s greatest president.

Osborn: Evil Incarcerated – Kelly Sue DeConnick
Seeing how Halloween is coming up, it feels like a good time to post a review of this tale of true evil. Norman Osborn, you may recall, was once “little more” than the Green Goblin, a Spider-Man villain, and I loved him as that. Then he gets put in charge of the most powerful spy …

The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium: Jon Stewart vs. Bill O’Reilly
The comedian and political commentator faced off to argue over various American political and social dynamics. Not particularly good comedy or meaningful in that these are not people who are running for office, but the debate and issues addressed were more substantive and honest than the Obama-Romney debate.

The Nightly News – Jonathan Hickman
An organization named the Cult of the Voice is killing news reporters in their war again the lies and hypocrisy of the media. Hickman presents an interesting tale filled with facts, fictions, and ambiguity laid out in an unorthodox display more akin to multimedia than traditional comic pages. The problem, I find, is that the …

Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
Comedians/talk show hosts/activists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held a rally in DC which was a cross between a mediocre comedy show, a parade of B stars, and an attempt to show the country that not everyone is a bombastic lunatic who thinks anyone who doesn’t agree with them politically is a traitor (I mean, …

Revisiting: Action News – The Election
Click to enlarge There’s an election coming up. Other than “Obama: Bad :: Tea Party: Good” do you really know anything about it? I created this cartoon back in early September 2001. After the attacks on the World Trade Center, there was a brief period of time (I’d say 3 weeks) when television news media …

Fun with Graphs
The Drawing Board This idea is blatantly stolen from Cej (see, Cej, you mom is right; you shouldn’t talk to me). Since the midterm elections are coming up, I wanted to do something social/political, which I haven’t really done since the ABCs of the USA. Obviously, I can’t draw, but I’ve always said that the …

Dear Media
Click to enlarge. I realize that it’s a lot of work for journalists to describe what is happening in the world, especially when it’s so much easier to act as stenographers for politicians and corporations. The idea that the media is still calling this “a spill” two months into the crisis proves to me that …

Sign of the Times
click to enlarge. This one has been bouncing around in my head for years. I decided to do it now, upon hearing that The Washington Times was likely going out of business. No, it’s not that the paper is no longer making a profit—it never has made one. It’s that the Times‘ is losing its …

Panicology: Two Statisticians Explain What’s Worth Worrying About (and What’s Not) in the 21st Century – Simon Briscoe & Hugh Aldersey-Williams
Sick of newscasts where reporters try to freak you out (“Is America losing control of its borders and allowing al-Qaeda terrorists with dirty bombs access to your children’s cell phones? We distort, you comply.”)? These two authors briefly discus a cornucopia of issues and break them down scientifically into levels people are panicking over them, …

Evil of Facebook
I use Facebook, I like Facebook, but why doesn’t it like us? Facebook will put your photos in ads on other people’s pages, and use your information in other applications etc. To avoid this: 1. Settings 2. Privacy 3. News Feed and Wall 4. Click on “Facebook Ads” 5. In the ‘Appearance in Facebook Ads’ …

Action News: Earth Day
Click to enlarge. I suppose this cartoon may seem a bit late, but really…isn’t it already too late? Other Action News fun here and here.

Media Translation
Click to enlarge. Edwards who? Clearly, my laziness makes it difficult to keep up with current events. Still, in this cartoon, the media is the message, not the specific candidate. And the media will still suck long after this presidential primary campaign is over. I thought about making this another Soapbox comic, but it occurred …

Soap Box: Primary Season
I always get a bit crazy during the bread-and-circuses that is Primary Season. I mean it’s not like elections matter… Click to enlarge.
