Trump and Race

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date June 11, 2020

President Trump seems to be staking out his positions in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement. As the saying goes, “not all conservatives are racists, but all racists are conservatives.” Trump is playing to the ugliest impulses of his base.

None of this is lost on the Cagle Cartoonists. Here are my favorite cartoons on Trump and race.

Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, still needs you! Journalism is threatened with the pandemic that has shuttered newspaper advertisers. Some pundits predict that a large percentage of newspapers won’t survive the pandemic economic slump, and as newspapers sink, so do editorial cartoonists who depend on newspapers, and along with them, our Cagle.com site, that our small, sinking syndicate largely supports, along with our fans.

The world needs political cartoonists more now than ever. Please consider supporting Cagle.com and visit Cagle.com/heroes. We need you! Don’t let the cartoons die!

I drew this cartoon back in 2016, soon after Trump was elected. Things don’t change much, except if I drew it now the expressions might be more angry.

Twitter Distraction

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 29, 2020

President Trump isn’t doing well in the polls. As the virus gets worse, Trump has silenced his coronavirus task force and has been looking for distractions to move the news away from harping on his virus failures as the death count passed 100,000.

Trump’s latest distraction has been Twitter, which finally bowed to criticism and put an innocuous link to more information, next to a tweet where Trump lied about voter fraud. This is raw meat for Trump’s base that doesn’t like those rich, liberal, San Francisco social media companies. Trump’s Executive Order against Twitter is inconsequential, but his deception lured the media and lots of the cartoonists into taking Trump’s bait, drawing non-coronavirus cartoons about Trump vs Twitter as the death toll passed a milestone. Here’s my cartoon.

Here are a selection of five Trump vs Twitter cartoons drawn today and yesterday …

This cartoon is by Stephane Peray, who draws as “Stephff” in Thailand (internationally, cartoonists prefer to use only one name, like Cher, Madonna, Lassie or Flipper). Stephff is a long time contributor to our little syndicate; he used to have a thriving freelance business drawing cartoons for newspapers around the world. Now Stephff has given up editorial cartooning because all of his papers have dropped his cartoons as a cost cutting measure. I was actually surprised to see that Stephff uploaded this new one today, just for us. The newly accelerated decline of newspapers, and by extension, editorial cartoons, is a grim, worldwide phenomenon. Our reader supported site, Cagle.com, and our editorial cartoonists need your support to stave off the death of our art form.

Broken Quarantine

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date May 24, 2020

Every state is starting to open up from their shelter-in-place orders. President Trump is insisting that states open faster, threatening to override the decisions of governors. The quarantining at home has taken a heavy toll on regular folks, which is the topic of my cartoon.

People tell me that they want to see my rough sketches, so here you go. I only drew the family in the bottle once, but I moved their eyeballs for the second panel.

Every so often I make an error and I draw a right hand where there should be a left hand, or a left foot where there should be a right foot, and I get letters from readers pointing out the error with glee, as if they had solved a puzzle and deserve a prize for informing me about an important issue that demands my attention.

When I was a kid and a fan of Marvel Comics, I remember how Stan Lee handled these letters by giving readers, who found similar errors, a “no-prize.” My friends used to argue about what a “no-prize” consisted of, without it ever occurring to them that a “no-prize” could actually be no prize.

I’ve decided to embrace this phenomenon. In this cartoon I have a family of four stuffed in the bottle, and they have five left hands. That makes me laugh. I’m watching my email box.

Hydroxychloroquine

5/22/20 Note from Daryl: If you came to the blog this morning you saw a database error message, right when our email newsletter came out linking to this post. We’ve been suffering from an unusual denial of service attack directed at a particular component in the backend of our system, bringing down the blog. Our other sites displayed as cached versions this morning but are live again now, so all pages and functions are available again. We’re still working on defending against this ongoing DDoS attack, but all is well for now. Thanks for your patience.

Here’s my Trump taking hydroxychloroquine cartoon, a couple of days late but this topic seems to have legs.

And here’s the rough sketch because people seem to want to see that. The big curved arrow is a note to myself to switch the positions of the Democrat donkeys, because it is usually best to have characters face into a cartoon, but then I decided that I liked them facing out.

Here are four of my recent hydroxychloroquine favorites from our CagleCartoonists. This one by Kevin Siers made me laugh.

And this one by Hajo de Reijger made me laugh again.

This crappy cartoon comes from Nate Beeler.

This one is from Jimmy Margulies

Trump and Disinfectant PART 1

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date April 26, 2020

Last Thursday America was fascinated to see President Trump pushing one of his medical experts to conduct research on crazy and harmful proposed cures for COVID-19, including drinking or injecting toxic disinfectants and shining light inside the body. I got emails from quacks pushing bleach pills soon after Trumps spectacle. This scary nonsense led to lots of cartoons –see the best of the batch below, with a second installment tomorrow as these cartoons are still coming in.

Forgotten Biden – Part 1

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date April 21, 2020

With all eyes on the pandemic there are very few cartoons being drawn about the presidential election. Trump still dominates cartoons, along with nasty coronavirus monster-balls, but poor Joe Biden has become almost invisible. I thought I would scour the database for nice, recent Biden cartoons, and there were enough for only two posts of Biden cartoons. Here they are, the recent Biden cartoons, with part two tomorrow.

We may end up re-electing Trump simply because we all forgot that there is a presidential election this year.

COVID-19 Tsunami Coming

Post author By Daryl Cagle
Post date March 27, 2020

The coronavirus tsunami is coming soon, and President Trump’s plans for crowded churches on Easter and county by county closures is looking pretty stupid in the shadow of the oncoming wave.

I would have liked to make Trump smaller, compared to the wave, but there is only so much I can do to keep a cartoon readable at the small sizes it will often be reprinted in.

Readers may recognize The Great Wave off Kanagawa, perhaps the most famous Japanese woodblock print ever, by Katsushika Hokusai in the early 19th Century. I love the wave.
