A Look Back at Politics Plus Cartoons

For well over a year, I had posted a Cartoon in the daily Open Thread here.  Darryl Cagle’s MSN site used to allow bloggers to embed cartoons to increase their own traffic, but they discontinued that practice, making it a © violation to use their work.  I switched to another site that allowed embeds, but they merged with another site that does not.  So in mid-June, I started making them myself.  They’re not really cartoons, per se.  They are graphics, but I call them cartoons because they serve that function here.  Except for sick days, I’ve posted one daily ever since, and let me tell you this.  Some days coming up with an idea is a huge challenge.  As 2011 comes to an end, here is a look back at one cartoon from each month from June on.

    Definitely some are funny, and some not as funny, but all provoke thought.  I particularly like July’s trickle down economics (must have been before I started commenting because I don’t remember it) and December’s.  Looks like Mittens is telling a fish story.  Definitely something is fishy!  They are both hilarious!

    Keep up the great work.  I know it is hard coming up with stuff, especially everyday! 😀

    I continue to be amazed by your abilities and your intellect and stamina – not without a great sense of humor – more power to you! I’ll try to integrate more humor next year – love these – They’re all great from “trickle down” to the “rights” issues – thanks for an informative year!

    “Trickle down” should get national distribution –

    I love the first one and think it should be applied when posting retorts to convoluted republican Orwellian Newspeakers.  Except that it would make sense to them!

    The dog is perfect.  And I know you meant it as a joke, but that is proof of de-evolution!

    TC   Just dropped by to see how you were doing.  Things look great.  Good luck with all, Tim.

    Humor makes the best points– yours certainly illustrate that– every one is pointed, and on target– Good old Mitch does look like a turkey—lol

    Thanks so much for the comic relief, Tom. Without it I don’t think I could get through some days with all this Fascist mess. You keep me going friend and I thank you for that!  I know it must take a lot of thought and energy to make these things up, but ya know, ya have to admit, the Republifascists make it easy a lot of the time. LOL.

    Don’t get too wiped out in celebrating tonight!
