Michael de Adder, Canadian political cartoonist, joins The Post
de Adder was fired from his last position* one of his major customers for being too hard on Trump. It doesn't appear that he'll be moving to DC, as Toles did, nor will he have as many days as Tom.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Listen To The Science"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"Listen To The Science"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=
(shown: full-length and "short mix";
Washington Post clipping 02.27.2021)
Oh, sweet jeeeeeezus, where do I even start with this? What, are they
taking a break from slagging on Maduro? It's almost breathtaking, the
way the Post is so obviously, openly mortified that the poor are being
vaccinated first in Mexico...
Not to mention that they're basically taking this whole article to
simply bleat "Listen to the science!" like everybody and their
freakin' dog who's trying to shoehorn their goddamn agenda into
someplace where it doesn't belong (usually people trying to whip the
kids back to school so they can whip their parents back to work).
"Listen To The Science" hit my Top Ten Bullshit Alarm List even faster
than "Existential Threat". Why am I not the least surprised to see
that clunker so quickly and clumsily weaponized?
I see absolutely jack in the Post about China doing their part in the
WHO's cooperative vaccination program all over Africa and the Global
South, but ZOMFG, López Obrador is vaccinating the poor first...! No
big surprise here, either, as it seems Obrador is "the new Maduro" at
the Post these days.

Al Goodwyn becomes the latest editorial cartoonist to upset a newspaper
Al's a personal friend of ComicsDC, and while I personally may not agree with his politics and cartoons,* he's a good guy, not a troll, and was doing a cartoonist's job in raising issues via a comic. I think the newspaper should have had the courage of its convictions to stand by him since the editors knew they hired a conservative cartoonist, and this cartoon isn't any more extreme than others they've run from Al.
I've included the note that he sent to the Daily Cartoonist too.

Meet a Visiting Cartoonist: Spain's Tomás Serrano
Tomás Serrano visited Washington recently just as the city was shutting down from the coronavirus. We were still able to meet and chat about his work with local cartoonists Matt Wuerker and Mike Jenkins, although this interview was done by email later. Tomás is temporarily living in America and cartooning via long distance.
What type of comic work or cartooning do you do?
Several types. At 25, I got my paid to start doing caricatures for a local newspaper in Salamanca, Spain. Years later I got into political and gag cartoons, and one of them won me the Mingote Award in 1995. Six years later, my first children´s book was published. In 2013, I made an animated musical video. In 2014, I began to work for the Spanish newspaper ABC drawing caricatures and editorial illustrations. Since 2015, I´ve been the political cartoonist of the online newspaper El Español and also sometimes I illustrate the editorials of the newspaper. In recent years, I did caricatures for the Magazine of the University of Chicago.
How do you do it? Traditional pen and ink, computer or a combination?
In the beginning, I used traditional tools like color pencils, gouache or watercolors. At this moment, I do sketches with a red pencil and mark the lines with a 5B pencil then scanning and adding color with a Tablet and Photoshop. It´s the fast way because, usually, I have only a couple of hours to send the cartoon.
When (within a decade is fine) and where were you born?
I was born in León, Spain, in 1960.
Where are you living now? Why?
Since July 2019, I moved to Lexington, Kentucky because Heminia, my wife, is working as a middle school teacher. For me, living in the US is a great experience. I love it. The American culture was always present in my life since I was a child: old TV series, movies, illustrated books, music…
Is it hard being an editorial cartoonist from a different continent and with 5 time zones changes?
Not at all. It´s so easy now. The only difference is the time: There, I drew after lunch; here, before. I´m following the current Spanish trends through the radio, podcasts, streaming live TV and the online newspapers.
My training is in architecture. This helped so much in staging my ideas and composing the images. I use to draw realistic architectural backgrounds because it emphasized the nonsense of the conduct of politicians. The strong crisis for architects in Spain from 2008 helped me to recover my passion for cartooning.
Who are your influences?
When I was young, my principal influence was Francisco Ibañez´s comics, Mortadelo y Filemón author. Visually, Disney´s artists were my favorites so far. Uderzo, Jean Giraud… Back then I didn´t like the UPA artists that I love now. Over time, I realized the influence of the freshness of my brother Carlos “badly done” drawings. Regarding humor, the movies of Charles Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, Bob Hope, Billy Wilder and Woody Allen. My favorite cartoonists are Jean Jacques Sempé, Ronald Searle, Charles Addams and the caricaturist Al Hirschfeld.
If you could, what in your career would you do-over or change?
I think I´ve been very lucky in my cartoonist career. In Spain, I was awarded with the best prize you can get. I feel recognized by my the heads of my newspaper… I wouldn´t change anything.
What work are you best-known for?
Maybe for my current cartoons in El Español, the number one in the top ranking of the Spanish native online newspapers.
For my first published children´s book Salfón el limpiador de tejados, by the unforgettable moment when I told and drew it to my son Guillermo, improvising the characters and the story. I would be happy if it was published in the States.
I´m so proud too of my Mingote Award and my first illustration in the US for the Magazine of the University of Chicago.
What would you like to do or work on in the future?
I would like to design characters for the movies, or have orders for advertising campaigns, or covers of books… And yes, I would like to work for US publishers.
What do you do when you're in a rut or have writer's block?
I take it easy. It happens sometimes, but experience makes last minute ideas to come… That´s what I always say to my daughter Paula. For drawing and for everything.
What do you think will be the future of your field?
These are bad times for the press, and there are a lot of people doing funny things for free on the net. Many online newspapers have no cartoonist. Maybe the brilliant ones will survive because an image has still a high value.
What's your favorite thing about DC?
 |
| Mike Jenkins and Seranno share a caricature moment |
What's your favorite thing about DC?
You know I was in DC only for a weekend. As a big fan of the movies, I liked to be in the places I´ve seen there: the White House, the Capitol, the Memorials… and The Exorcist steps! In addition, I would recommend the Blues Alley Club and the Off the Record Bar.
Least favorite?
There are outstanding buildings in DC (e.g. the Old Post Office), but some mixes of styles in the streets didn´t convince me. Anyway I´ll remember the beautiful houses in Capitol Hill and Georgetown.
What monument or museum do you enjoy? What did you hope to see, but missed due to the coronavirus shutdowns?
I loved the Lincoln Memorial and the National Portrait Gallery. I enjoyed the fantastic exhibition of John Singer Sargent portraits in charcoal. I missed, among others, the National Gallery of Art. I hope to come back.
How about a favorite local restaurant when you visited?
I enjoyed the Indian food of Rasika and The Smith's burger.
Do you have a website or blog?
Do you have a website or blog?

Conrad's last Nixon cartoon: "I forgot the line!"
by Mike RhodeI was in a bookstore on Capitol Hill (Capitol Hill Books in fact) this weekend, glancing through the comics and graphic novels section, and spotted this copy of The King and Us: Editorial Cartoons by Paul Conrad (Los Angeles: Clymer Publications, 1974; 3rd printing 1975) collecting his cartoons about the disgraced President Nixon. Conrad's one of the great editorial cartoonists of the 20th century, and had been on Nixon's enemies list so I picked it up to look at...
...$10 and it was a third edition, signed in August 1994 twenty years after it was published, and twenty-five years later, the Sharpie ink is already blurring and fading....
...but
there were two photocopies laid in, one of Conrad's last cartoon about
Nixon from April 25, 1994, showing Nixon's tombstone with a double
entendre engraving,
"Here Lies Richard M. Nixon, 1913-1994"
...on the back side of that first photocopy was a sketch of the idea of that cartoon, inscribed,
"For Frank and Estelle, Lisa, David -- All the Best - Paul Conrad"...
...but it also had something the final cartoon was missing.
A caption with a second double entendre -
"The Final Coverup"
- which made the cartoon just a bit more brutal,
as befitting a man who was was audited by the IRS as a result of the enemies list
Estelle apparently kept the sketch until Nixon died
and sent a photocopy to Conrad to remind him of it.
He wrote back, "Estelle! I forgot the line!
Why didn't you call and remind me. Love Paul C."
Admittedly, there are some deductions here, and it's a very minor bit of comics history,
but one never knows what one will stumble across in the pages of a book.
I wonder where the original sketch is now...

PR: New political cartoon book from Clay Jones
Impeach This
Book! Cartoonist
Clay Jones collects his
smartest, funniest Donald Trump cartoons in one
ridiculously long-tied, deluxe volume!
(IMPEACHMENT DAY, November 13, 2019) -- Editorial cartoonist ClayJones has been drawing the world around him for more than two decades,
but his style and humor caught fire at the beginning of the Trump
Administration.
An award-winning artist whose work is seen on CNN as well as
newspapers and news sites across the United States and beyond, Jones collected
his best Trump-related 'toons in one full-color, 270-page deluxe collection
titled Tales From the Trumpster Fire: A Cartoon Anthology ($39.95US; Mr. Media Books, 2019).
Among his fans, Jones is perhaps best known for distinctive
north and south caricature of Donald J. Trump: the hair goes on and on to the
north while the ever-present red tie flows ever-further south. The book
features a Foreword by fellow editorial cartoonist Matt Davies and endorsements
from TV personality Rosie O'Donnell and fellow cartoonists Ann Telnaes and Mike
Peters.
Clay Jones is a
self-syndicated political cartoonist whose work is distributed to newspapers
and news sites across the United States and around the world. He also draws a
weekly cartoon for CNN Opinion’s weekly newsletter,
Provoke/Persuade. Clay was represented by Creators Syndicate (2000-13) until he
left to start his own syndicate. His career began in 1990 at The Panolian, a
weekly newspaper in Batesville, Mississippi. Clay also worked for the Daily
Leader in Brookhaven, Mississippi, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, and The Free
Lance-Star in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He previously worked as a freelance
cartoonist for The Daily Dot, The Seattle Times and The Costa Rica Star.
Clay won “Best
Cartoon” in the National Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper Contest
(2018), as well as several state awards in Mississippi, Hawaii and Virginia.
Additionally, he was the finalist for the Herblock Award (2019), and rejected a
weird “free speech” award from the government of Iran.
A collection of
his work is archived at the Mattie Sink Memorial Library at Mississippi State
University. An early collection of his cartoons, titled “Knee-Deep inMississippi,” was distributed by Pelican Publishing (1997). And his work was
displayed in an exhibit at the Jewish Museum Berlin (2017).
His daily
cartoons are featured in about 50 newspapers and have been reprinted in The
New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA
Today, The Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, The Dallas Morning News, the Winnipeg Free
Press, the Ottawa Citizen, the Daily Beast, BuzzFeed, Newsweek
and Time Magazine. They’ve been seen on CNN, MSNBC and C-SPAN.
Clay plays and
writes 90s-style alt-rock on guitar. He released the album “No Thanks To
Hancock” with the band Corporate T-Shirt.
He lives
somewhere in the Washington, D.C, suburbs of Northern Virginia.
Mr. Media Books
is an independent publisher known for its wide array of unrelated titles, from business
titles such as Mean Business by “Chainsaw” Al Dunlap and Determined
by Atlanta business legend Felker Ward to You’ll Need a Guide by
Marshall Craig and the pulp fantasy noir series Tales of the Annigan Cycle
(imagine if Edgar Rice Burroughs collaborated with Quentin Tarantino). The St.
Petersburg, Florida-based imprint, started by writer Bob Andelman in 2014, also
published the politically brutal humor of The Wages of Sin by cartoonist
Keith Brown.
