Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Screwed Blue And Tattooed"

 "Screwed Blue and Tattooed"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4284

As I post this, we're still waiting to hear if the Nazi tattoo-wearing,
woman-harassing, domestic violence-committing ex-Abu Ghraib prison guard
DNC Senatorial candidate is going to stay in the race, or if the DNC
will have to drag Susan Collins out of her oxygen tent.

More sexual harassment and abuse revelations about a politician who
guarded Abu Ghraib and already had a history of harassment and domestic
violence?

Well-lll, shut my mouth.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "There's No 'P' In Our Ool"

 

"There's No 'P' In Our Ool"

When I first peeped that aerial shot on Reuters, it wouldn't leave my
mind.

On the one hand, it's another bucket of your garden-variety shallow-ass
Liberal pearl-clutching at seeing the Evil Orange Man giving the job of
restoring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company which
contributed heavily to his campaign and which promptly turned the
project into a National Lampoon movie.

On the other hand, though – the part that wouldn't leave me after seeing
that Reuters foto – on a much deeper level than simply Trump doing his
usual nouveau-riche alcoholic country-club vulgarian shit, it was much
more symbolic of an empire in rapid decline, possibly even already at
the point where the Emperor is appointing his horse to the Senate. It
doesn't so much say something about Trump specifically as it does about
American society, culture and institutions in general.

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

From Nick Anderson's Substack:

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.

 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.
