Laughing out loud.

These comics are some of the rare ones that make me laught out loud; the lines and thoughts and ideas are distinctive, caustic and sharp.  The political ones hit their mark very precisely.  The simple line art, but distinct charicatures and effective use of color, make them quite a pleasure to look at.  When new current events come along, I like to see what "Untelevised" has to say about them. ... read it now!

I find comics about politics tedious and boring. I find them lacking in the humour department, which is the entire point to political satire, in my view. Then I found Neil Lisst. Oh thank heavens I found Neil Lisst.

To say the art of political cartoons is dead is a lie. To say they're all unfunny is wrong. For me to tell you that political cartoons have no place on the internet is false. This comic proved that to me. From Darth Cheney, to Obi-Wan Murtha. Giant floppy eared President Bush. New Orleans to Valerie Prime. Political Jeopardy to Survivor: Washington. Neil Lisst has not only proven to be a comedic genius in the writing department, complimented well by the art of Rempel, but it's also the name of an actually funny Political Cartoon. Note: It's the only one I can read and actually come back to a second time....and a third....fourth....and now I'm writing a review. Usually in color, unless the satire of the strip is a stab at racism, Neil Lisst is a colorful world, vibrant in its details, but not too distracting; The focus is the writing. Stay tuned to your CNN, Fox News, and what-have-you...because the strip is usually quite accurate to the time you're living. Neil will hit above and below the belt. He takes no prisoners...and he does it with excellent taste, while delivering to you exactly what you're thinking. Refer to his New Orleans disaster set of strips. If you're a person who reads the newspaper, reads the news websites, watches the news on TV, or is just pivvy to the news via molecular transmission of radiowaves into your brain...this is the comic for you. Even if it's not, read it. Darth Cheney demands it. ... read it now!

Holy crud! A funny political strip! Who knew?

Ever since I was a teenager just getting into comics, I've been a huge fan of Tom Hart. He's a brilliant writer, a master of the sketchy/primitive style (which, over time, has evolved in his hands into something warmly reminiscent of E.C. Segar), and just a heck of a cartoonist. One of the joys of being a Tom Hart fan is following the career of his signature character, Hutch Owen, an anti-capitalist, anti-establishment, politically-charged angry bum. At present, Hutch stars in a daily comic strip, where he hangs out with gullible trust-fund dilettante Oswald and a host of other refugees from society. It's political commentary, it's social commentary, it's smart, and it's funny. Good stuff. ... read it now!
