New Internet Cartoons and Cartoonists Magazine

Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words.
Arthur Brisbane

I have been celebrating Cartoons and especially Editorial Cartoonists here on my blog for some time now. I am delighted to learn that September 18 is International Cartoon Day. 

This link will take you to the Cartoons and Cartoonists I have posted here on my blog.

I learned about this celebration from TOONS MAG. Their Mission Statement: We believe everyone deserves freedom of speech. Promoting Freedom of Speech through Editorial Cartoon, Comic & Caricature. You want to go there especially if you are interested in the history of cartoon animation.

This is from TOONS MAG Caricature Archive. Albert Einstein Caricature by Ivailo Tsvetkov, from Sofia, Bulgaria

As newspapers disappear, the places Editorial Cartoonists can publish their work is diminishing. I consider this a political and social tragedy. The Internet a new source for this important and entertaining work to be published. Cartoon Favorite Du Jour by Dan Wasserman.

Dan Wasserman has been cartooning for the BostonGlobe editorial page since 1985. He has published two collections of drawings, We've Been Framed and Paper Cuts. His cartoons are widely reprinted and are syndicated internationally by Tribune Media Services. He draws more quickly than he types.

Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Give us this day our daily Pasta. And deliver us from spaghetti-Os. For thine is the semolina, the boiling water, and the salt. 

Yea, though I walk through the Valley of McDonalds, I will fear no McRib, for thou art al dente. Thy sauce and thy cheese they comfort me. Thou sitteth on the table before me in the presence of chianti. My wine glass runneth over.

Surely goodness and linguine shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell with and praise The Flying Spaghetti Monster forever. RAmen.

Penne for your thoughts?

You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you. – Isadora Duncan

When you are on stage, you are having an affair with three thousand people.

OMG GOP WTF? PASTORTICIANS.

The Republican party is full of pastorticians. Bleating about how much you love Jesus and how much Jesus you'll shove up everyone's asses is a requirement for anyone who wants to be elected to office as a Republican. - Margaret Whitestone
