Is brain is literally dying. You can watch him in real time this year as his frontal lobe shrivels up and his ability to draw or even sign his work suffers.

The bitter irony is that the conservative who railed against the welfare state now needs it...and his wife was denied disability claims for him because he was still making cartoons. Cartoons that very clearly show degradation in his abilities, and he was still denied. And the darkest aspect is that he was only submitting cartoons because drawing was one of the few things that still made him happy. So Holbert I hope your wife’s suffering was worth it to keep those drat welfare queens at bay.

I just have no idea what this is trying to say. I guess it's saying Sri Lanka as a whole is mourning, as represented by a random brown guy? So lazy.

Holbert literally has dementia and has been declining for several years.

Him having been a conservative is IMO proof the dementia was much older than diagnosed.

Oh it's fine, he said he didn't even know that was a racist trope. Just a coincidence that the punchline revolves around a flavor of toothpaste that doesn't even sound real.

Edit: In response to the backlash, Holbert changed it to "raspberry-flavored toothpaste," so I guess it's possible that he just doesn't know what flavors things come in.

I’m sure there were plenty of assholes in the 18th centuries that were resistant to change, spouting “If you don’t like the way we farm, go back to England!” Also there were plenty of people that when they heard of Rosa Parks’ activism said “this isn’t the proper way to do it, you can’t just break the rules like that!”

Saving this one. Reminds me of one I should have saved, and if someone has it I'd greatly appreciate it.

It's called something like "boomer train paradox" and the guy pulling the lever is like "Yeah but saving anyone wouldn't be fair to the people who already got run over." It really captures modern conservatism/boomerism/any other dumb poo poo.

What a lovely thing to say about a cartoonist with JRRose lite opinions. Post the welfare queen cartoons, because all I've ever seen are Congress, dear reader, need I say more?

Opposite of reality, when people were protesting against the regime in Iran (and against Iranian influence in Iraq), Trump goes and murder someone who had the status of a national hero, causing everyone to rally behind the regime in Iran, and everyone to want the Americans out in Iraq.

The IRGC's screwup with the shotdown of the Ukrainian airliner is what broke the Iranians out of their Trump-induced patriotic fervor.


Donald Trump is the proud leader of an Iran-designated terrorist organization.

It's also nice of Branco to remind everyone he thinks that Palestinians do not deserve human rights.

I agree, but I think it would be better if they showed conservative assholes shouting down the "dreamers" in the first three panels. Sort of a "we beat them before, we can beat them again" message.

The former's main nickname was "Dubya." I don't often hear people use Trump's initials, but it happens sometimes. Too soon to know if it'll stick.
