I can’t figure out who takes the birthers seriously, but when it spreads to our holiday friends, you know it’s bad. Sure, I know Donald Trump is counting on that…

Doesn’t the LA Times have their own cartoons? Not during the week, no. The LA Times is one of the top 3 national papers, but they use hardly any editorial cartoons since they laid off Michael Ramirez. They have less cartoons than any of the top 20 papers in the country.
They do have 3 cartoons on Sunday, however, here and in the paper (tiny). But they’re edited by Joel Pett, a cartoonist in Lexington, KY. Lexington, really?? As far as I know, Joel has never lived here, and is Lexington in any way similar to Los Angeles? Well, they both begin with L, I guess. Anyway, Joel only chooses cartoonists in his particular cartoon group, which leaves out 15 or 20 of the top editorial cartoonists in the country.
I’m the only New Yorker cartoonist who also does editorial cartoons, so I have a good background in both. As an award-winning cartoonist and editor, and since I’ve been a cartoonist for the LA Times for 6 years, and, maybe, most importantly, actually live IN Los Angeles, I decided it’s time I stepped up to do the job myself. :) Now, let’s pick today’s winners!
Tony Auth is a great cartoonist. I picked this one for several reasons: he was first out of the gate on this issue, on the new coastal oil drilling Obama just approved. (boo, hiss, even though I don’t have all the environmental facts yet. Just because I don’t trust Obama.) It seems to be pretty common that editorial cartoonists will pick a name or word and then decorate it like an insane calligrapher. But he did a good job here, and the oil spatters are truly dramatic, spilling over the name itself.
People from other states (like Kentucky) might not realize that in LA oil rigs are common. Not out to sea, but they have baby ones like 12 feet tall in people’s backyards! They call them grasshoppers or some insect, and they are SO CUTE bobbing up and down. I hate driving to the airport, but I take the long way just to watch them. I love industrial things. (more cartoons below.)
They’ve been rounding up guns in Los Angeles recently, some with bullets included. And people think we just play volleyball on the beach! From the LA Times: The Los Angeles…
The slayings at Fort Hood came very close to Veteran’s Day, so I think some cartoonists broke out their sad pens early. Meanwhile, tomorrow is Veteran’s Day, so here’s a…
Just give me an opening to combine any holiday, with any subject, and I’m there. This week’s message: vaccine testing is a joke. I have the numbers to prove it,…
* UPdate: Different version of this in Psychology Today. I have a growing collection of Sad Cartoons, it appears. I could have put this in the Holiday category, but that…
