    Political cartoons are almost guaranteed to be absolute shit, but it seems like they universally come out of right wing news sites.

    Can anyone name some shitty spinelesscrat cartoonists? Or is it that political cartoons are just a staple of conservative culture?

    Not too many - most hard-core Left Wingers have no sense of humor.
    They are too busy lamenting the oppressive, sexist, Capitalist and racist system -
    while they bone their illegal Latina housekeepers in their mansions.

    Is it just me, or does this post scream jealousy?

    I've never laughed at a single strip that guy has done. Probably has something to do with the ridiculous pretentious attitude from his characters.

    If Tom Tomorrow doesn't lean to the left, I don't know what does. That douchebag Oliphant is a leftie. Those are the two off the top of my head.

    Who was that guy on MSNBC the other night discussing his opinion that it's time for a revolution? I'm too lazy too look up the video (he was on O'Donnell's show if you want to look it up) but he was definitely a flaming leftist.

    In my experience, there's considerably MORE political cartooning from the left than from the right. Opinions of which, if either, has better humor is subjective.

    Definitely not funny. Even when it could possibly be considered relevant political commentary, it wasn't funny and that was decades ago now.

    Tom Tomorrow? More bitterness from the left. :shrug:

    I never cared for political cartoons. My taste runs more towards The Far Side and Calvin & Hobbs.

    Buy some newspapers, go to the commentary/opinion sections, and you'll find lame political cartoons to offend most every partisan.

    Ted Rall, most reality-impaired cartoonist out there.

    I swear Ken Catalino sticks a pencil in his asshole to draw. His artwork is that shitty.

    If I didn't believe there were any leftist cartoons I wouldn't have asked for examples.

    The best thing for me about them Palin paintings (as well as the Alex Ross Obama and Bush portraits) is that it makes the Left look far crazier than the right.
