5. There's another significance to June 14th

Yes it's Flag Day, but it's also (...ahem...) you-know-who's birthday.

[soldierant]

37. I'm not on any social media, but

I believe those who are are - um - "plotting" to post pictures of Obama EVERYWHERE.

[FakeNoose]

39. Yep - it'll drive Voldemort nuts

[Gothmog]

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Kick-ass set! Thanks!

[2naSalit]

15. Thank you!

[murielm99]

16. Thank you.

Send that last one to Ted Cruz.

[SergeStorms]

17. Trump is a cartoonist's dream, isn't he?

They're going to miss him when he's gone. NAH! They'll find something else to latch on to, but they've been given a true gift with Little Donnie. The country sure isn't going to miss Trump, though, that's for sure.

[JHB]

24. From what I've seen, they'll enjoy finally having some time to breathe

I forget who said it, but their situation has been described as "Trying to take a sip from a fire hose open full blast."

[SergeStorms]

35. A cartoon for everything...

and I do mean everything Trump says or does. I think you're correct, JHB. These cartoonists could use a little R&R after Trump's exit next January 20th.

You keep posting them, and we'll keep reading them. JHB's "cartoon corner" is something I look forward to every day. Thanks for all your work.

[crickets]

18. Thanks, JHB! K&R

[smirkymonkey]

19. K&R

[erronis]

20. I know the order you present these toons is totally random... but I always look at the last ones for

the defining examples.

These are all good. Ending with Famous Anti-Fascists and 1st Am's A Sham is wonderful.

Thank you ever.

[JHB]

25. You're mistaken on that. It's not totally random.

Aside from the groupings with the quippy headings, I'll shuffle them around where I think they flow into each other better, like having the crying Nascar klansmen together instead of having 2 or 3 others between them.

I also try to lead off with a DU Homepage-friendly one and end on a chuckle or hopeful or poignant note instead of MORE HOWLER MONKEY!!

The cartoonists are doing all the hard parts, but I gotta exercise my creative and style sensibilities somewhere.

[scarletwoman]

26. You do a wonderful job and a great service!!!

Thank you so much for all the fine work you do!

[erronis]

27. I actually knew you exercised your editorial perogatives. And I applaud how these are put together

day after day.

For weeks and months and years.

(just learning about these emoji thingees.)

[JHB]

31. Geez, it really is *years* (plural) isn't it?

Friday TOONs: Back in Business Edition
DU's Toon posts have been a staple since the late, great nostamj started them back in the olden days of DU1. When he died unexpectedly in 2005, I picked them up for a while, and others have stepped up to volunteer since then. Yesterday the long-running latest abruptly de-volunteered, so I jumped back in the pool. It might take a while to get them fully back up to speed, with multiple posts daily, but they ain't goin' nowhere.
Enjoy!

32. Was that link only May of 2018? It seems like historical centuries have passed since those toons.

I've tried to capture most of your postings for posthumous analysis but I don't remember these.

One still applicable, altho it could now be Bo Johnson.

[JHB]

33. They used to talk about how the presidency aged the office holder...

Under Trump, vile, lazy bastard that he is, it's the rest of us who feel time threading through our veins faster than the merely chronological.

[Karadeniz]

21. Thank you...wish GOP could have to see them!

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. Too true

This cartoon could mean two different things.

Pointing out how many overreact to that slogan without knowing what it means..which is what I suspect the artist was going for

or

How the slogan itself is yet another example of the good guys using a presumptive, and obfuscated line. Giving too much cognitive credit to anyone not in the fold.

And how that failure to communicate, is used by those in the RW media (who know full well what it means) to define it any way they want. Even BLM is not perfect. But I understand how difficult it would be to summarize hundreds of years of systematic repression in a few words. Still, one side sees that as Black Lives Matter..... Too. But because of how truncated it is, the other side can be indoctrinated to react with: Hey, don't All Lives Matter?

[erronis]

28. I've been wondering if the pro police groups aren't forcing this one term to stereotype

anyone against police brutality.

Almost everyone I've talked to aren't interesting in "defunding" or abolishing the police. We all seem to be interesting in reforming those departments who have constantly had problems dealing with minorities or others not of the right class.

[Nitram]

23. Great toons!

[tblue37]

29. K&R. That parody of "Sam I Am" is brilliant. nt

[Stuart G]

36. Regarding George Orwell ...

I have a copy of Homage to Catalonia I will send the the first person who PMs his/her mailing address.
