With thanks to Caped Crusader and Earl Aagaard:

I’m starting to dig out from under the mountains of legal and domestic detritus that’s enveloped me of late, so I have a bit of time to write again. The only problem is that I don’t know what to write. Usually I latch onto what is, to me at least, a

Since I (thankfully) seem to be back in business, Caped Crusader feels comfortable again sending me visual gems. Here’s the latest batch:

I’m still going through my emails and finding fabulous treasures. Let’s so how many I can fit into this post: Revolutions always eat their own Assuming one survives a revolution, one of the most enjoyable spectacles is seeing the second generation of revolutionaries turn on the first. Just today, there are

Still going through my inbox, and still finding fabulous posters (and thanks, as always, to Caped Crusader):

This is my catch-up day, so prepare to be deluged. I’m happy to report that a large part of this deluge will be posters and cartoons addressing matters both mighty and silly. As always, while a get a handful of images from my other readers (Sadie, Wolf Howling, Earl, and others who

No, you’re not imagining it. Yes, I have been AWOL. The legal work has finally tapered off, but other things have filled the vacuum, taking up both my time and energy. Some of them are very nice things but, much as I love you all, I can’t share them here.

Caped Crusader sent me a very sweet email asking if he’d been overwhelming me with posters because he’d noticed I hadn’t published pictures from his last few emails. He’s right that I was overwhelmed, but it wasn’t he doing the overwhelming. I simply got so bogged down in the demands

Not a bad day, but a busy one. Legal work in the morning, followed immediately by taking my mother to an appointment, followed immediately by a lunch that I’ll tell you about, followed immediately by taking my son to the barber, which activity will be followed immediately by joining some

I am, as always, endlessly grateful to Caped Crusader for his help in gathering these great political posters and cartoons:

No time for talk, just time for superior illustrated commentary about the world in which we live (with thanks, as always, to Caped Crusader):

It’s another round-up of the thoughtful, the provocative, and the just plain funny, with many thanks to Caped Crusader. I hope you enjoy these:

My post caption to the contrary, this post has nothing to do with technology — except that technology explains why I started writing at 10:30, not 8:30. My computer apparently had a sudden yen to pretend that I had a dial-up modem and to start downloading information at speeds that

As usual, this splendid collection of posters comes mostly from Caped Crusader, although there are some contributions from other friends interspersed among them:
