Here, just randomly, is a picture of President Dwight Eisenhower playing golf.




That said, Obama is bad and a Democrat and black, so the golf thing is much more nefarious now.

I know he's on his backswing, but it looks like he's about to hit one of the crowd with a golf ball. A Good News Photo.

Aging white cartoonists don't know what "online streaming content" is so they wouldn't have been able to watch that piece, and Obama didn't really say anything newsworthy enough to get reported in the mainstream press, so they probably have no idea that happened.

For everyone else, here's Obama being chill with Jerry Seinfeld.

Asay would definitely do a comic lamenting how no one showed up to the second American Revolution (It Used To Be brave Americans in tri-corner hats standing up to redcoats. Now It's 10 brave Americans in a shack standing up to Obama's troops while the rest of the country looks bored and disinterested) but all the other conservative cartoonists probably can't denounce Bundy's kids fast enough.

Nigel Farage is a skinbag filled to busting with dark beer dregs and fag-ends... how he can operate any heavy machinery (cars, planes, doors with handles that turn, sidewalks) at baffles me.

He's like our Boehner but less orange and weepy.

Isn't he not in charge of UKIP after their unspectacular showing after the elections? They couldn't find anyone weird-looking enough to take over?

He resigned & then the NEC refused his resignation & then the party spent the summer squabbling, with their lone MP probably regretting joining UKIP by the end of the summer.

Then again, it is the Daily Mail, so is that confirmation really all that they say it is? Not that I don't think people would try and assassinate him.

There's even a video of him doing it and talking about it... not that it explains much or makes it a better cartoon.

e to add: there's quite a lot of videos of Steve Bell explaining while drawing going back 5+ years that are more interesting than this one.

Something about Beatrix Potter and Corbyn "outfoxing" his opponents, see if you can decipher what exactly he's trying to say from Bell himself having a chat about it.

New Feature: 1992 Flashback

After years of free-loading off other people's work in this thread, I've decided to add some content. Given that this is a presidential election year, I thought it might be fun to look back to the election 24 years ago. I have a book collecting political cartoons chronicling the 1992 election in order along with commentary placing them in context of current events, so I was planning to post these over the coming year. Ideally, I would post them on the same date they originally were published, but my book doesn't date them so it may not be possible. I might be able to track down the dates when I have more time, but for starters we need to catch up.

Here's one from late 1991 from our friend Rob Rogers, and we can see right away one difference: We have a poo poo-ton of candidates from the out-of-power party today, while no one was eager to take on Bush I:
