Political cartoons in the On the Record bar catchup time

I stopped in for a drink with a friend who's never been there before. These are pictures of art that I don't remember seeing before, and at the end, Tim Walz and JD Vance coasters.

Other editorial cartoonists on the WaPo's spineless non-endorsement (updated 14x)

Here's my rant from last night if you missed it. I saved the comments until they hit 1,000, if anyone wants to analyze them some day. 

Mike Peterson has a good morning roundup. If you don't read the Daily Cartoonist, you should.

  and from Darrin Bell -

 

You know what else is strange? Major papers that spent years chronicling the existential threat posed by Donald Trump, deciding not to endorse a political candidate. The decisions may be principled stands, as their owners assert, but it’s understandable that readers suspect the papers’ owners would rather not find themselves accidentally falling off balconies a few months from now. That’s a very real prospect, given that the corrupt Republican Supreme Court has given a certain Hitler-aficionado the green light to make good on his threats.

Subscribe to my Substack at www.darrinbell.com and get my new graphic novel "THE TALK" (now in paperback and audiobook too) at www.GetTheTalk.com ...This is a timelapse animation (a process video) of the creation of an editorial cartoon, by Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Darrin Bell. Republicans tried to spin the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times refusal to endorse either presidential candidate as a damning loss for Harris.

 

and Jack Ohman as seen on the Daily Cartoonist - and Jack's excellent commentary on the decline of the Post editorial page (updated 10/30)

All the Publisher's Mendacity

Where did all the newspaper presidential endorsements go? Long time passing.

Rob Rogers from Counterpoint -

“The cowardly decisions by The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post not to endorse a presidential candidate are the latest examples of how Donald Trump’s threats to punish his enemies are working. The billionaire owners of both newspapers are more worried about their bottom lines than the fate of our democracy. So much for watchdog journalism.”-RR

and another from the Daily Cartoonist -

Mike Smith — KFS

and Cagle syndicate again (10/31) -

2024-10-31 JEFF BEZOS READING NEWSPAPER IN BED BY BART VAN LEEUWEN, POLITICALCARTOONS.COM

 

and then Michael Ramirez finally addresses WaPo spineless non-endorsement in the WaPo on November 1st.

 

Guess which side he comes down on?

You're right! What a shock!

and here's another right-wing one from Counterpoint that's just... what's the word I want? Oh, yes. Stupid. 2 is "a LOT"? Perhaps that's how he counts the likes for his cartoons, or the publication of them...

“Seeing a LOT of big-name newspapers declining to endorse Kamala Harris after having endorsed most of the other Democrat candidates for POTUS for the last eight decades … and seeing Liberals lose their minds over it. I guess not everyone thinks that Conservatives are ‘garbage.’”-MB (Cartoon by Mike Beckom for Counterpoint)

11/1 update 2: The Daily Cartoonist returns twice to the story with new editorial cartoons I haven't caught.
