Recent cartoons: June, May

Editor’s Note:

This was my MONDAY cartoon this week but, as often times happens with the immediacy of today’s 24 hour news cycle, we are constantly interrupted with “dramatic” BREAKING NEWS.

Networks today, seem to have breaking news every half hour… “Breaking News: Joe Biden said something entirely comprehensible…” Okay, maybe that’s a bad example, because that would be breaking news… “Breaking News: Marjorie Taylor Greene said something half intelligent…” Now, that could also, conceivably, be breaking news, because intelligence, or even half intelligence is not something I would remotely ascribe to Marjorie Taylor Greene… but you get the point.

More often than not, the Network Breaking News it is something entirely insignificant or inconsequential delivered under the smokescreen of “breaking news” by obsequious networks hyping trivial events for ratings.

But… in this case, Biden dropping out of the race was really historical breaking news! Enough so, I broke out my crayons and whipped up something on it for Monday… the Biden Getting the Hook cartoon.

I had already finished and filed this cartoon, and sent it out to clients from my syndicate and replaced on the pages of the Review-Journal.

Just think of it as a little bonus, while I’m filling in for Melissa.

Again, thank you for your friendship, subscriptions and your patience

Stay ‘Tooned and best wishes,

-Michael Ramirez

Why America’s Zoomers Are Turning MAGA

Sketch:

I included the sketch the other day as a teaser… Think of this as “breaking news!”

This is the rare circumstance where the sketch differs a little more than usual from the final. As I’ve said before I usually see the entire image in my mind’s eye, who happens to be a much better artist than I, so I capture the essence of what I’m seeing in the sketch, just to remind myself of the visual concept, and they come out pretty much the same…

Here is the sketch again… so you can compare it to the final.

Line Version:

Michael really enjoys speaking to his friends via written and video essays. Let us know what you think in the comments, and thank you so much for your support. Also, we would like to set up a personal Zoom meeting for paid subscribers so you can speak with him directly. Stay “tooned”!

Michael’s latest essays:

• California Exodus

• On Absolute Immunity

• Walking in Memphis

• IRS Targeting (video)

• Blame Hamas (video)

• Worshipping Idols (video)
