  • More Weiner Cartoons

    When a big story breaks, like a married congressmen tweeting tawdry pictures of himself across the internet, nearly every cartoonist will jump at the opportunity to commit something funny and pointed to paper. We have such a large roster of cartoonists that appear on Cagle.com, sometimes great new cartoons will continue to stream in days after the news initially breaks.

    In terms of Weiner’s wiener, I already did one blog post commenting on a handful of funny cartoons that had come in, including my own. But we’ve received so many addition funny cartoons, I thought a second round-up was warranted.

  • Economy Cartoons

    Our economic recovery seems to have hit a bumpy road. Seventeen months before the election, unemployment is 9.1 percent. When Obama took office, it was 7.8 percent. Are Obama's policies to blame for the lack of a stronger economic recovery?

    To find out what the nation's cartoonists think, check out our new Economy's Bumpy Road cartoon slideshow.

  • Anthony Weiner Cartoons

    I wonder how long it will take Democrats to demand New York Rep. Anthony Weiner resign for sending lewd pictures of his... wiener to women over the course of several years and lying about it.

    As a cartoonist, I want Weiner to fight for his job. The longer this is news, the better off the nation's cartoonists are! Come check out our new Weinergate cartoon slideshow.

  • Cell Phones Cause Cancer Cartoons

    The World Health Organization research institute recently announced that using a cell phone over a prolonged period could lead to brain cancer. Too bad people were too busy texting their friends and playing Angry Birds on their smart-phones to see the report.

  • Weinergate

    It’s been an odd spectacle watching news coverage of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, as he fields questions about a lewd photograph that was sent from his Twitter account to a 21-year-old college student. Weiner claims his Twitter account was hacked, but when asked directly whether the bulging boxers in question were his, Weiner said that he couldn’t say “with certitude” that it wasn’t.

    A politician with the last name Weiner unable to deny a lewd photo was him? That’s all cartoonists need to run away with the story.

    Here’s my take…

    I thought it was particularly funny that St. Louis Post-Dispatch cartoonist R.J. Matson would drag the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile into this…

    Taylor Jones' caricature of Weiner’s misplaced briefs made me laugh…

    As did this cartoon by Eric Allie showcasing Weiner as an “unintentional” flasher…

    Sadly, Weiner is only the latest in a long line of Congressmen that have over-exposed themselves, as Adam Zyglis of the Buffalo News notes…

    They may all be “Congressional Weenies,” but he’s still the only true Weiner in Congress.

     


     

  • I Need a Job Cartoons
