June 4 - Aug 31: Anderson and Luckovich political cartoon exhibit in Bethesda


I’m honored to be part of the Amy Kaslow Gallery’s America at 250 exhibition series, featuring original political cartoons and artwork examining America at a pivotal moment in its history.

The exhibition, *What’s So Funny?*, showcases the work of myself and Mike Luckovich, highlighting the uniquely American tradition of political cartooning and visual commentary. The show explores the absurdities, contradictions, and challenges facing the nation as we approach America’s 250th anniversary.

If you’re in the Washington, D.C. area, stop by. The exhibit should be showing until the end of August.

Amy Kaslow Gallery, Bethesda, Maryland

Exhibition runs June 4 – August 31, 2026

Opening reception: June 11 (today—sorry for the late notice!)

Political cartoons have always been America’s visual conversation with itself, sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable, but always intended to provoke thought. I’m honored to have my work included in this exhibition.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY ? NICK ANDERSON AND MIKE LUCKOVICHJUNE 4 - JULY 19, 2026OPENING RECEPTION JUNE 11, 2026

 Chronicling over half of US history, the comic strip is a uniquely American art form. Ever since the scrappy slang-spewing bald headed Yellow Kid from Hogan's Alley appeared in 1895’s New York newsprint exposing urban immigrant squalor, the American audience has feasted on illustrated social commentary in a box.  Often the readers’ first go-to, the comics fueled newspaper sales and competition between publishers, all pushing to be the most entertaining. Full weekday pages and entire Sunday sections featured dozens of comic strips (color reserved for weekends), many with dramatic storylines that pulled devotees from one day to the next.  Popularizing characters spawned a rich mixture of American cartoon and caricature: from waxed paper comics lining bubble-gum wrappers to urbane sketches in The New Yorker.  The genre even earned the ultimate badge of Americana with a seminal United States Postal Service stamp design honoring the newspaper comic strip. By the 1990s, a national museum of cartoon art opened and closed, but importantly became the largest collection of cartoon art at the US Library of Congress. It's a national treasure trove with depictions that mirror history. Cartoonists have long plied us with simple, often scorching visuals.  Today, on America's 250th birthday, we feature the finest in contemporary narrative imagery. Syndicated cartoonists Nick Anderson and Mike Luckovich take daily swipes in newspapers. Their mastery of this cross-generational American tradition, considered among the most prized and beloved of homegrown art forms, jumps off the page. In quizzical, often playful ways, these artists visually journal the absurdities of America at 250, and summon us to reflect and repair.
 
We are excited to exhibit two Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists who fill our gallery walls this spring into summer with some of the finest lampoons. “What’s So Funny?” includes original drawings as well as enlarged, signed and dated editions. The artists address the most pressing issues of the day. Their delivery may startle, puzzle, even prompt you to reflect. That’s what they’re meant to do.  Join us June 11th from 6pm - 7:30pm for the opening of "What's So Funny?" Kindly RSVP below if you plan to attend. This exhibition is part of our America 250 programming. Learn more about our exhibitions and happenings, beginning June 4th.

Flugennock Latest'n'Greatest: "Peak Liberal no. 3"

Dear Liberal Amerika: SHUT the HELL UP about the 2024 election. Just
shut the goddamn hell up RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Your party supported
fascism and genocide even though it meant defeat, and now they're
collaborating with fascists every chance they get. Hell, they just
nominated a goddamn Nazi-tattooed ex-Blackwater merc and Abu Ghraib
prison guard to the Senate.

So, don't talk to me about the 2024 election, about my refusal to vote
since 2004, about my utter lack of respect or faith in Democracy™ or any
other American institution. Just SHUT THE HELL UP, Liberal Amerika.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Tap The Brakes"

"Tap The Brakes"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4268

Trump taps the brakes...? "Taps the brakes"? JEEzus, they're really
breaking the Goofy Meter over at the Washington Times these days.

F'crissake, that bloated-ass smashmouth sonofabitch probably hasn't done
his own driving for a single day of his goddamn life.
